The SkyPup live trapping, what the bleep?.
I think that is a first for you in the NV section. |

It was open house at the University Agricultural College Animal Sciences division and we told the professors that we would provide some fresh wild boar hogs for the gigantic all day cook out for the alumni, faculty and students....
Officially and legally you are not allowed to have firearms on State University property, but they made an exception for us and everyone wanted to know all about FLIR thermals that I use.... The professors were especially interested in the use of thermal technology applications in the meat industry and the FLIRONE was a big hit with everyone for measuring precise temperatures and documenting them. Plus we got some free Burcellosis testing...never can be too cautious with that! There is a paper blot antigen-antibody kit that you put a drop of pig blood onto to check for any agglutination of the antibody against the brucella bacteria to screen for brucella presence. |

Ok so I'm really not trying to ask a million questions but I'd like to get an idea of what sort of FOV this would present to the day optic in 0.5x vs. my LWTS at 1x. Do you know what the T-70's FOV (degrees) is at 1x and 0.5x? I use mine w/ a 1-6 and 2.5-10 mostly and at 1.5-2x w/the day optic my FOV is quite huge.
|

[#11]
Without getting technical specs specifically for them and comparing, you would have twice as much FOV using 0.5X as you would 1.0X at all day scope magnifications.

Quick and possibly crazy question,
Could the T50 or T70 pull double duty as a high quality monocular like an M18 Recon? |

Absolutely. The T70 is basically a clip on version of FLIR's M18 monocular. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

FYI for owners of FLIR T-70/T-75 Government Systems military thermal weapon clip-on scopes;
I contacted Flir Government Systems in Pittsburgh about having the TAU 2.6 microbolometer firmware upgraded to the latest TAU 2.7 firmware with all the new image enhancements and this is what I found out: "The T70/75 Military weapon thermal sights uses firmware that is a modified version of the stock FLIR Personal Vision Systems’ firmware." "FLIR GS does not currently have a released version of the T70/75 firmware or T70/75 software that is compatible with the Tau 2.7, it is probably several months away. This effort is currently underway.." Scott Keitzer Director of Systems Engineering |
|
[#27]
BTW, the deal with this TAU 2.7 upgrade is that it is NOT a simple software upgrade patch, it requires the complete rewriting the entire firmware and software from A to Z.
Good news is that this may include numerous improved internal digital 5.56mm and 7.62mm BDC reticules as well.... |

Did you have any NV on? If you had you could have switched to the IR laser
|
|
[#30]
Yeah, that would have helped but I did not bring the NV since it was about two hours after sundown and the moon is just now coming up about four hours after sundown.
I feel like heading back out there again with the NODs now that the moon is up and the sky is clear to blast a couple more! |

The lead bull is Top Gun, the second in command is Rambo, and the third is the Terminator.
They are protected here and we don't mess with them and pray they don't mess with us either.... |

I could not get a German 416, had to settle for a measly MR556 instead, has heavy 16" barrel 1:7" with no chrome lining and standard threads for suppressor.
It does have complete Cerakote quad color finish on everything including the stock and six HK metal and three HK polymer magazines. All internals and controls have upgraded lubricity enhanced NP3. Upgraded stamped HK nickel boron bolt system. Upgraded HK tactical charging handle has been refinished in NP3 and slide rack honed; seems like it is on ball bearings. Trigger system has the complete SOCOM DDM upgrade to a single stage medium reset 3-3.5lb release. German HK1 stock with swing out rubber plate for storage, HK custom grip w/ storage. And it will take standard M4 uppers, so a HK 10" SBR upper will be a nice addition. http://www.hkparts.net/shop/pc/HK-416-10-4-Upper-Kit-OTB-p962.htm Will find out how well it kills at night soon.... |

Sorry this was mentioned a ways back in your thread, but do you know if the TAU 2.7 upgrade may be applied to earlier m24 scopes?
