    AGM FLIR Tau-2 core thermals

    Any experience with or thoughts regarding the "new" AGM Tau-2 cored devices ? These look like basically the same thing as the olde Armasights, with slightly modified housings. I would expect street prices to be around $1000 less that shown prices. Like here's a Zeus-ish ... with hoped for...

    Thermal clip on help?

    I do disagree with Brian on one point, but only barely. There are a tiny few thermal clipons that are worth having, that are repeatable to mount and have minimal POI shift. Insight LWTS-LR Trijicon Oasys UTC-xii Other than that, the Insight LWTS is also good, but only supports up to 4-6x...

    Practicing with Night Vision

    and here's a pic of cattle I ranged at 183yds on 12x. Here is the first 5 rd group with the UTC-xii. It was a 17/16 group and was centered high and right with only 1 rd on the handwarmer. It was centered 1 inch high and 1.5 inches right (sry for the fuzz). I forgot to tell SB001 to...

    MK3 or REAP IR?

    Those aren't "drivers" ... the software on the card is an image viewer you can install on your PC. Then you can download the still images from your thermal and view them on the PC. If your card is defective call Trijicon and get a new one. I've got several and I think I asked them at...

    Lone Boar with the New Pulsar Thermion XM50 & Axion XM38

    Great first field review Brian !! The interface issues sound tough ... maybe half of them will "ride up with wear" !!! :D (i.e. mostly disappear when u get used to them) ??? The battery situation sounds awful. But then I'm staunchly opposed to proprietary batteries. :) Which reticle did...

    Pulsar Line Up changes ?

    At SHOT we heard the Trails were going away except for the LRF models all to be replaced by the thermions. When pressed as to why the non-ergonomic design of the thermions, we were told "Euro-hunters requested thermals that look like day scopes" ... my jaw hit the floor :D We forgot to...

    Potential change to Texas hog hunting laws

    Kansas does. Current prices Now I get appropriate shorter term hunting licenses in Kansas (and Texas) each year aligned with what I am doing. But the lifetime cost for a "senior" (which I will be this Nov) makes it a no-brainer for the lifetime license in Kansas. There is also a new...

    Potential change to Texas hog hunting laws

    I would think evidence of rooting would be sufficient ... But I also think getting a hunting license makes sense. Once I turn 65 I plan on getting a lifetime KS license.

    Potential change to Texas hog hunting laws

    those hogs must be related to the folks we've been fighting in Afghan and Iraq, etc for a couple of decades ... the ROE sound similar ... did these declaring jurisdictions put these declarations in writing ??

    My experience with ATN CS has indeed been the worst in the thermal space and competing for worse in any space. They were actually HOSTILE in 2/3rds of the cases. And since they've gone "chinese" ... I have no reason to deal with them. I do still have an olde ODIN that is useful, but I...
