I want a FLIR Breach 640 that's weapon-mountable and has a reticle. Or a Scout IV with the 640 Boson core.

An IR version of the Surefire XH55G.

Slaved ir/vis laser smaller than cqbl with quick detach $650 or less. I said just put the head from the cqbl in the otal body and be done.
I am looking for a laser right now like my cqbl.

640 boson core, just a matter of time

A budget Raptar like setup with the MAWL L/M/H setting with a TAPS Pro pressure switch.

I just grabbed a couple of these mounts and they do tuck the m300 light quite nicely. The mount makes the light as slim as possible and looks really f-ing good! They work perfect with the atipal-c and dbal d2.

No, kidding. My MAWL didn't come with this, I think it is only for MAWLs that are shipped under LEO/Mil discount (correct me if I'm wrong) come with a little lego figurine that has a MAWL on their gun. It's called the MAWL Man... It appears he wants one with knockers, lol.

My Reap on 60 and pts536 swill batteries. The 536 is a pain in the ass to hunt with without a battery back. At least with the Reap you can switch to 30.

Really?

I get about 4 hours on a set of Panasonic 123's in my PTS233. I admit it is a pain in the ass to change a set of batteries out in the field in the dark. I never can seem to get that cap to thread correctly on the first try.

My Breach eats about one battery an hour without battery pack hookup. Luckily it's very convenient and serves as a small counter weight on the back of my helmet.

Does the 536 consume more power for some reason? I do not use the automatic video record feature.

Thanks.

I guess I’m coming from a place where I think 4 hours sucks. I’m not sure if the 536 last 4 hours or not. I’m used to the Armasight battery pack and the Reap on 30 lasts a lot longer than the 536. Tnvc battery pack is in the mail so it’ll be ok.

Guys that want a 640 breach with reticles and weapons mount? Have you ever tried the q14? It has those features and didn’t sell well at all.

That's my video. Damn good option for those scopes, battery power lasts about 9-10 hrs, QD mount has held up to everything I've thrown at it, and is rechargeable. As far as the Reap and IR Hunter, I have an IR-X battery kit which is well worth the money. Also rechargeable and reliable.

I was not trying to be critical. I was just thinking your individual scope could be consuming more power than it should?

I put a strip of Velcro on the back of one of those anker brand USB charger batteries and stuck it to the back of my helmet with a right angle cable and opened up a whole new world of not having to jack around with batteries for me and my Breach.

I know you’re not being critical. It’s consuming as it should. There’s just not any reason I can see to make these scopes 60hz and thus eat batts that much faster.

yes,had a Q14 640 and was very happy with it, even as a weapons sight. a FLIR Rep convinced me that the Q14B was going to be much better in all aspects and I should get on their list ASAP. I sold it and got on FLIRs list. By the time I found out FLIR dropped the ball on the Q14B I was left without either. at this point FLIR would have to offer something pretty damn groundbreaking for me to consider them again.

When I got the Reap I switched it to 30hz. I just got around to putting the UNV battery pack on it. It’s a bit over 5 hrs as I remember. Better than the 536.

Arisaka showed off a tailcap adapter for Streamlight's HL-X and similar scout style lights that takes a Surefire plug. So now you can use your TNVC/UNITY TAPS switches with them.

I re-read your post. No, I can tell no difference viewing 30 vs 60. I’ve never done a full run on 60hz as I didnt see the point. The scope at 30 has no lags or anything that might affect a running shot. You don’t need 60hz. At least the Ird/Trijicon scopes give you the option to change it. Just my experiences.

1. The illuminator technology from the MAWL-C in a small package powered by either AA or CR123 for <$500.

2. Someone needs to fill the gap left by the SWR Radius in a smaller package with a better mount at a similar price point. Those things make unknown distance long range night vision shooting extremely doable, I can't imagine being without mine.

3. A UTM like thermal at a non-UTM price point

Ton of new stuff-

FLIR Scion- looks like a chunky Scout. Has the 640 Boson, magnification.

USB power port for optional power. Battery cartridge for CR123s and I'm pretty sure they had a Lithium rechargeable in the one we saw.
All the streaming, wifi, electric toaster type features to keep up with the Pulsar Joneses.....

I'll try to post pics tomorrow, long, long day..... Sorry.

They might not. They kind of got big right after the time it would be feasible to plan a booth at SHOT and they wouldn't exactly have anything new to show anyways. Also the huge reception they got from the traditional gun crowd seemed to have caught them totally by surprise. I could be wrong and they might be set up there, but if they aren't this year they will be 100% next year.

Chris Adams probably has stuff at his booth since he's very buddy buddy with them and carries their camera.
