    Thermal eye relief

    I thought the shuttered idea was awesome.............until I mounted it. then I realized it was not practical to use. I then realized why I see so many pics of Trijicons without any eye pieces on them (which is how I run mine).

    Need Help understanding "Clip-On's"

    I'm looking to add another night optic to my set up for a buddy scope, or just to have a back up. With that, I wouldn't mind it being a night-vision clip on since I already have a MK2. I will start by saying I don't really know anything about night vision, and have zero experience with...

    PTS233 vs "old" Thor

    They are there, just probably not a lot of them. Have you looked through both? Thoughts?

    PTS233 vs "old" Thor

    I'm referring to them as being entry level in today's environment, because you can pick them up cheap, and they are a 320 core.

    PTS233 vs "old" Thor

    Curious for those of you that have been in the game for awhile, what has a better picture, the new PTS233, or the older FLIR core'd Thors. Reason I ask is I have a buddy who hunts with an older thor, and to me, its an amazing entry level machine. I have a MK2, and don't mind using his. But he...

    Silencer Co Radius.....Someone explain to me the theory...

    Appreciate that info Wigwamitus, I read your other post, its starting to make more sense on how to accomplish it.

    Silencer Co Radius.....Someone explain to me the theory...

    You are absolutely correct in the fact that it doesn't matter because I will not shoot over 200 at night time. This is more from a pure curiosity stand point on the theory behind it. Very good info you have provided above, and I do appreciate the feedback. I also should have generalized with I...

    Silencer Co Radius.....Someone explain to me the theory...

    Brian - my usage of range finders has been for bow hunting, and the occasional jacking around looking at a cow from 500 yards like you mention, haha. And yes, its very easy to miss your target you are ranging, thus again driving questions about using this range finder at night for guys with...

    Silencer Co Radius.....Someone explain to me the theory...

    Correct Curly - I'm not looking to zero my rifle and weapon sight. My question stems around the theory of lining up the LRF when using thermal, and knowing you are ranging your intended target. I posted in a few places, and I have a better understanding now, and that is you sight the LRF in...

    Silencer Co Radius.....Someone explain to me the theory...

    Since getting into thermal, the whole judging distance (like I knew), has been an issue, not a big one, but it still lingers there. From what I see, most guys who are heavy into night hunting seem to be running the SilencerCo Radius, or something to the like. But my head is having a hard time...

    Does anyone want to rank thermal scopes?

    I don't think there's any need to complicate, so I'll play from what I've used and owned. I know ATN gets crap, but I've used three and all have worked great! So here's the list from what I've used: 1 - MKII - (currently own) 2- Zues Pro 100 3-Zeus 640 42mm 4-Thor HD 640 50mm 5-Thor 640 - 50mm...

    Zeus HD lense

    When I asked about HD in the past (referring to Thor HD), I was told the HD part is kind of a sales gimmick being that the pixels, core, etc... are what makes up the picture. So, I'm curious on the response from those much more knowledgeable than I am.

    ATN 'detection' range

    I can't get into those specifics like you, because I'm a rookie and don't understand it that well. But what model Thor are you referring to that is 1x? Is it the 19mm 384 thor? I only ask because I just sold a Thor, and have two other buddies that have them, and 600m for detection is easy. But...

    MK3 or REAP IR?

    Appreciate the info. Image wise, are they the same? Comparing a 35 to 35 of course. I guess throw the Reap into that question as well? Sold my ATN, and trying to figure out if I should wait on the new Armasights, or get a Trijicon. Also wondering if the release of the Armasight will put a...
