These things are utterly amazing. The image quality is spectacular. 05/2019 manufacture date, so brand spanking new.
Was just lamenting the irony that even with Gold currently at $1500/oz, the 9-oz SkeetIR-x is actually worth MORE than its weight in gold.

It’s cool that a lot of this stuff has come off restriction and, for an admittedly egregious price, can now be purchased new by we mere mortals. Let us count our blessings: 1) Perst “full power” lasers. 2) eCOTI / COTI 3) L3 WP DTNVG 4) PAS-13G variants 5) N-Vision and Trijicon Thermals that rival or beat .GOV It’s a good time to be in the NV world. Lots of stuff we can own that before was difficult or impossible to acquire legitimately. No need to seek out stuff of questionable provenance or pay HUGE premiums for the few legit pieces that come with release paperwork. |

Wow! Almost the same weight as the Flir breach and dang near half the weight of the IR patrol.
I bet that will be nice. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I was curious how the image compares to something like the Breach. In fact, the detection range and image quality on the Skeet is is every bit as good as the PAS-13G (V1). It’s THAT good. Now, for some faux toes: 
BEHOLD! $50K worth of UNV spend. Don’t I get a gold star from you guys, or something? 
More TTL comparison images to come, but the battery cap placement on the Skeet makes it impossible to use any iPhone camera lens adapter, so I have to find another way aside from just holding it behind the ocular — if possible. |

The short answer is I don’t believe so. There’s a lot to it. Additionally, good luck finding the mount and then I’m 99% certain that the software on the new units isn’t compatible. It comes with the factory software and cables as well. This could be the last commercially available batch we see this year. |

I know it’s not fair comparing anything to the ATN, as their GEN-7 technology is from the future, but everyone needs a goal to aspire to. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Where do you place the skeet irx vs that lineup? If I could keep only ONE NV-related item I own, it would be a toss-up between the SkeetIR and the PSQ-20C. I’d take this over any other thermal-only unit I own, by a country mile. It crushes the MTM, even though both the SkeetIR and MTM have identical “unity” FOV, both have superb OLED displays, and are reasonably similar in overall size (and both have IR lasers), the TTL view through the SkeetIR is light years better. 
Beg, borrow, (don’t) steal, sell internal organs and blood plasma, auction unwanted children, do a little male prostitution on the side — just do whatever you need to do to get yourself a legit SkeetIR-x. (Though I doubt TDunn has problems procuring funds).
