You got lucky. Most of those people talking about the pulsars holding zero were affiliated with certain other manufactures. Most of what I saw was people pulling shots in their videos and failing to accept they missed. Just wait for the amount of time the flir units have been out and the numbers in the field the percentage is not good. The few customers I was not able to talk out of buying flir have had a higher percentage of returns. Not to mention the lack of communication when. Ordering. I have a customer that pre paid for a 736 two months ago was told 7-10 business days, now two months later still no 736. I cant stand dealing with them. I have a whole shelf full of flirs, you know why because instead of just trying to sell what I have I tell people the truth. If anyone wants a Flir I'm a dealer and will sell them to you, but I advise people to stay away. I understand justification of a high dollar purchase and have even seen people who truly belive their ATN thermals are awesome also until they look through the competition, or have a problem.Of all the forums and groups i follow i have yet to see all issues with flir that todd is speaking about. I have the flir pts233 and love it for what it is.. no issues with holding zero like some of the pulsar trails i have seen people talk about. Would love to actually see all these issues people have with their flirs.
There was an update available and i emailed flir cs and within 2 days i had what i needed. Seemed pretty legit to me.
Just got in a 536 today. .
I dont rember you ordering one??? Because surely you would support this great forum and Lone Star Boars !
It was a trade.
Todd if they un-F their customer service snd get their 640 models right they are going to still be a player. They have the capability. I started on Armasight scopes and still prefer that function and form.
.......... Youtube nation would love to see you do a hunt with Flir pts 536....let the people make their own decision..Yes for 320 units they look good, I'm sure the 640 will be awesome. I keep hearing they are working o the customer service but I have seen no real improvement yet. The customer service is my main hang up with them. Well and their anti hunting stance.
The problem with that is the flirs like atn put out a better video out making the image look superior when it really isnt........... Youtube nation would love to see you do a hunt with Flir pts 536....let the people make their own decision..
..I would think that 80% of consumer never knew that or could care less about that... Consider is powerful coming from you...Keep up that great work you do...YouTube NationThe problem with that is the flirs like atn put out a better video out making the image look superior when it really isnt.
FLIR seems to be making an effort to get customer service under control time will tell.Spent some time out with this scope last night and this morning in better conditions. It’s pretty much exactly what I wanted. But, like Todd said with the 736, the 536 is kind of a niche optic. It’s best at 80 to 100 yards out and even then the fov isn’t very wide; you wouldn’t want to try to shoot up sounders at 50 yards with it. To me it’s not a first choice for a general purpose hog hunting scope. I wanted more magnification for taking longer more precise shots. To me that’s what this scope is.
As Todd says Flir cs is pretty spotty and quite a few pts optics have had bugs. I have other thermals so it is worth a little risk to me.
