I have a SCAR 17--and that MKIII looks sweet mounted on one!  I suppose my MK6 with its 34mm mount won't co-witness like the scope in the pic.  

What height to center of the scope from a defined point on the rail do I need to make that happen?  

I really like the Black Friday deals!  Pretty sure I'm going to be a happy TNVC customer--again!!

DOH! I already jumped on the FLIR rebate deal this week, definitely would have gone with one of these if I had known.

I'm going to file this under "Things that could have been brought to my attention YESTERDAY!"

Bait was too attractive, I'm hooked.  The website did not show the sales price during checkout, but said the code was applied-so I trust that it will all be fixed when the card is charged.



I love the patrol for scanning-but right now think the ultimate system needs a dedicated scope on the rifle as well.  Looking forward to shedding a bit  more pig blood this winter.

Hopefully you guys "settled" like I did for the mk2 35mm since it was such a great deal.  Now with the upgrade program you will save ~17% off the mk3 35mm even after the upgrade cost!

I bought mine in October for what I thought at the time was a smoking deal....4 weeks later it was crushed by TNVC's deal.

On the upside, I didn't have a 4-6 week wait and I got to use it for 5 nights in November.  I'm looking at it like I rented my own device to ease the sticker shock.

Ordered the 60mm Friday, came in early enough today to run to,the lgs to get the parts to finish it's hoast. I forget how many months I waited for the patrol on pre-order, so this was very sweet.



I need to read some of the user manual, but while I understand the joystick on the monocular, I really .ike the way the knobs work on the scope.  Everything has been fairly intuitive (other than the reticle lock-will need to read the manual on that)

I did not as I was not interested in the MKII due to the point of aim tracking / recall memory.  I don't think the range finder is super useful as I dont expect to shoot more than 100 yards 95% of the time, and I doubt I would take a shot at something beyond 250 yards ever.  If the MKII had the tracking I would have jumped on it, but I didnt see the upgrade policy available.  If the MKIII was $6k to $6.2k and immediately available (within 2 weeks), I would have bought it.  Oh well, I will continue to wait till what I am looking for matches what I am willing to pay.  I have been looking at thermals for 2 years now and watching better products come each year at better prices.  I can say, after reading the upgrade program offering IRD is truly looking to build a great product offering while taking care of their current customers.  The MKIII 60mm would be an awesome scope for the correct terrain.

Also, if IRD can get the patrol dialed in with:

1. Either similar locking Larue mount or solid return to zero twist mount (quick attach / detach)
2. Upgraded program similar to IR Hunter with point of aim locations and saved poa locations
3.  Option for 35mm lense
4. A method to use either CR123 and AA or AAA batteries (any gas station, grocery store, etc carries AA or AAA, not always CR123's)

I think they will sell the heck out of them due to the cross functionality for scanning unmounted and quick attach weapon conversion.  This might hurt the sales of the MK II/III, but the lighter weight, better range, and joy stick manipulation for hand held vs turrets I think would be perfect for 90% of the hunter customer base.  This would be the perfect product I would be after as constructive feedback.

Reliable mount and x/y display are the 2 big ones for me. I have not shot mine at targets enough to prove the mount problem-but the x/y display and the lack of precision feedback from the joystick made sighting it in an exercise in frustration.  I had fully intended to use it on several hosts-but changed my mind due to the effort involved with the sight in.  Only viable option was cowitnessing it with other sights dedicated to each weapon. I guess a backup red dot is cheep enough, but just annoying-and also not precision shooting.

Vic,
Ordered a MKII 35 mm on Cyber Monday (Thanks soooo  much for the discount!) and was given a 4 - 6 week lead time.
Since I assume these are coming directly from the factory, do I need to be concerned about the recent software
upgrades being done? Will these have the 'latest and greatest' upgrades?
Thanks!

You're very welcome on the sale and happy many got a chance to save a few bucks on the units.

Indeed the unit you you will be getting is fresh off their US assembly line in Northern California and will have all the latest. Thank you again and to all the others who took advantage of the special sale.

P.S. While we usually stock pretty large quantities of all IRD products we sold out of our existing stock pretty quick.

Vic,

Won't he also get the longer, more repeatable 2 lever LaRue mount and the battery extender?

During the spring lull I'm sending my MKII back in just for the saved reticle positions so I can easily swap between rifles depending on desired targets.

Not knocking you at all or trying to shoot the messenger, I understand they set the price and my disappointment is only with IRD. It seems way too high for a software update, especially for something like the reticle coordinates that probably should have been there from the start

I'd agree with that.  should be a free software update.    If I have to spend the money, I might just go 60mm.
