Heard that the trijicon skeets aren’t able to hold better than about 12moa as a clip-on. Truth to this?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Hoping to hear/see results also. @thehorta can you do a simple 100 yard test? I zeroed my Elcan SpecterDR on my LMT MRP rifle. I then put the SkeetIR in front of said Elcan. I was hitting the same 6-inch steel at 100-yards in roughly the same place before and after. In other words, little to no POI shift with the Skeet attached as a clip-on. |

I was told that Trijicons average MOA shift for these new skeets are like 12moa, and they aren't holding as close as the bae units were, (about 2moa average) again, just word on the street from some higher ups, needing in field answers to back this up. |

If that's possible then I wouldn't be worried about an MOA shift, I'd just rezero before I went out If it's really 12 moa or some number when moving between rifles it defeats the purpose for me which is to be able to move it to a few rifles when I need it, and not have it dedicated to one gun |

90-120 minute battery life sucks. Burning through a new Energizer Ultimate Lithium CR123A every night.
Also, at least with mine, there’s significant battery drain while off. Just a few days stowed with the battery (intentionally) and it was completely sucked dry. It’s a bit of a nuisance. $50/month in batteries is the price you pay for near-perfection, I guess. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Are you trying to figure out if the skeet x does the same thing a standard utm does when connected to a USB power source with the weird wavy screen thing? Because I do not believe the X models do that. I was just making a friendly request for some through the tube pictures. I don't know anything about what you're talking about and when I heard another person just say that you could run the unit off of a USB I thought that would solve the problem of not being able to connect the phone adapter to the Eye piece since you should be able to remove the battery cover now and still power the unit for better quality pics. |

False. If you get a unit shooting a foot off send it back and Trijicon will fix it. Worst I have seen out of this last batch is 1.5MOA. There is a mechanical parallax adjustment and a digital scene adjustment, Make sure to use both if necessary. |

25 micron Oasys units were originally designed to work with a 3v external battery not a 5V USB, that's just for image download. If you run a 3v battery it doesn't have the noise and it won't fry your unit. |

The manual doesn't seem to say much more than to turn the knobs For that matter, it doesn't really say how to boresight it either, other than you have to move the crosshair. I'm assuming the reticule is moved to the same point as your day scope |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Turn the eyepiece until parallax is eliminated. You can tell that it is properly eliminated when your day optic reticle does not drift around on the thermal's display when adjusting your cheek weld. Shoot it, and if it's not close enough you should now adjust the scene digitally. This is a feature I have only seen access to on the Trijicon units. The unit will have a factory calibration and you will want to write that X/Y down. Next, shift the scene in the direction of divergence until POI equals POA. Another option, and my preferred method is to use the reticle on the thermal vs the day optic. You have to sight in this way, but it's less complicated and works just as well.

Hopefully for those forking out the money it is little if any shift. The SkeetIRx will not work with the BCO thermal cam as it comes. He cam fits the eyepiece fine, but the battery lid gets in the way. I think one of the cams could be fitted with a dremel to work I just have not had time to attempt it. That said these things are pretty damn awesome. |
