I recall (and searching confirms) that a bunch of dudes seemed to be having issues with these a year or two ago. Any news on that front? Is the focus on other brands driven mostly by specific features (internal recording, picture in picture), price vs. perceived value, or are there other things going on?
Anyone have specific input on composite housings vs. aluminum?
The variety of reticles in the new Reap-IRs is reaaaaalllllly attractive for the primary uses I have in mind - bolt guns, 5.56 AR's, and .300 AR's with super and subsonic.
But a Nox 35 would probably do everything I need it to do and the advertised recoil rating up to .50 BMG is also interesting; if I can mount it on a .50, I most likely will just because (EDIT - seeing conflicting info out there about this now). Plus the 18650 battery support is nice.
I don't really need head-mounted support or a handy handheld scanner, although that doesn't hurt - I already have a Breach set up for hand/helmet use (and understand its limitations). Mostly what I want is a weapon sight with more legs than the Breach, but isn't sacrificing too much in terms of FOV, weight, and size. Also willing to plonk down extra for durability.
