Quote HistoryQuoted: What's the best bang for your buck thermal scope? I've been looking for the RXQ30V from Pulsar, but I'm not sure if they've been discontinued Probably the 320 core thermions or the super hogster. But if you can wait I would wait. Infiniray is going to release the Rico Bravo sight soon and I hear it will be extremely competitive price and feature wise. |

Anyone figure out how to manually nuc a mh25? I can change it from auto/manual, but that's it.
would have been nice to be able to set the auto nuc to longer intervals too, every 5 sec is a tad excessive. |

I'm getting antsy awaiting my poor man's bino build... PVS-5/31 conversion through Nocturn Industries. I consulted with a trusted source who knows the work Jeff @ Nocturn does and said there will be limitations with the tubes, given what they are (expected as they are Gen2+), but realistically I'm not going to be spending $4-10k on a set of duals and mono anything gives me motion sickness like no tomorrow - something I learned while hunting and trying to use my rangefinder and regular binoculars as a monocular/spotting scope. I couldn't imagine trying to do that in the dark without feeling like I was going to puke.
So, sub-$1800ish later, I'll be awaiting this:

Quote HistoryQuoted: How does that upper do with Center-X? What size groups are you getting at 50? I ended up switching to the Gemtech subsonic orange box because it was about half the Center-X group size and pretty consistent at 2 inches or so JP has a great reputation with Center-X but I don't recall seeing many match shooters using suppressors, so I'm still going to bench it with the howitzer sized brake it shipped with to see how it does |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've been extremely impressed by mine but it's not necessarily the optimal price to performance ratio. I doubt anyone makes a better thermal as far as performance goes, but the REAP is also the most expensive out there and missing a lot of the bells and whistles of other commercial grade models. Personally I don't care that much about those features, but maybe the REAP forced me not to care because it doesn't have them I am definitely in the market. Looking into best bang for the buck type setup. I need to do some research. |

Seems like it is going to be quite the performer using the same BAE 12 micron core as the REAP but I haven't checked on the full feature list yet. Helmet and weapon mountable out of the box and they make a 25mm 1x version that more people will probably want as a helmet mount. I personally still prefer 2.5 or 2.8x even for a helmet mount  |

Well. After considering this for months now, I now see the light. My cousin brought his WP PVS14 around tonight and we did some shooting. Fuck me running. I don’t know how I ever thought it was acceptable to not have NV.
Unless something pops up on the EE in the next few days, I’ll be jumping in the wait line with TNVC this week. Uppers and optics will be going up for sale. I completely understand the “you only need one rifle” mentality now. |

It's a fun world for sure and you should definitely have at least one NV capable rifle One thing to note though, they get heavy fast with lights, lasers and suppressors, so you may not want to sell every other rifle just yet. Not until you get used to your 10 pound night time monster

To be clear, I don’t currently, not have I ever worked at/for Bering optics. So it’s entirely possible the are currently manufacturing every single piece of it here in the USA. They were advertising originally, as made in the US. I believe it switched over to assembled in the US ..... The thermal imaging world is actually very small. Essentially in consumer mkt, you have nvision, Trijicon, pulsar, atn, Bering , and until very recently, flir/armasight. A guy could do some research about ATN original players, and compare them to above listed names . If made in the us is important, I’d suggest going top shelf. If it’s not, spend your money where you see fit . Boris thanks you in advance |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Looking at that one now, thanks! eta..having trouble finding that one, guess I could give them a call. In years past, their website isn’t the most up to date. Might try calling. Quality is same as others, design allowed for slightly longer run time. Not the end of the world to swap at 3 hrs. Just have to be diligent about doing it, otherwise, it dies right before you shoot... as a side note, Trijicon battery indicators, are extremely inaccurate. You’ll go from 25% to dead . It’s more of a rough guideline. NONE of the extended batteries will give you a reading of anything except 100%, right up until they die. No warning. Unless something has changed in last 8 months or so . Never was a big deal, just get used to it |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Video when it happens please!!! Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Just got this puppy. Working on cutting it down to 13 inches, attaching a flip to side mount, and a suppressor. And then killing a bunch of hogs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYIo5JsagbAVideo when it happens please!!! I definitely will. The flip to side mount was ridiculously hard to find. The poles made them for a few years in the late 50’s/early 60s. I ended up tracking one down in Belgium that was still in cosmoline. I wanted to get it up and running in factory configuration before messing with it. It’s off being cut down/threaded now. When I get it back I’ll flute the barrel and drill/tap for the scope mount and weld it in place. I found a M240 can to go on it. Should be a nice hog killer with a thermal scope on it |
