Getting settled in. Gonna feed my face and get ready to watch round 3.

Sounds like the date is gonna have to be set to this. After all.......we have to have GREG back.

Dude. All you have to do is show up. There's more than enough weapons and ammo to be shot.

Well look at him using the big boy words.

And before you two jizz all over yourselves. Keep in mind that neither of you had anything to do with this experiment, and knew nothing about it until I brought it up here. We had never even talked about the NV area.........................yet. So...................go FUK yourselves.

X-Sight II HD 5x20. Yeah fella's, we'll see how this works out. Like I said, I'm not really holding my breath for the most part. It just sounds too good for the money put out. That's probably why the gun pusher laughed at me and said that I was just buying this to prove that it doesn't work. Maybe he knows me too well. This is basically turning into a pricey experiment. So lets see so far. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.....round numbers of course. $600 for the Optic itself $150 for the QD mount $100 for the battery pack $80 for the X-Trac remote that you strap to a forward rail (so you don't have to fumble for the buttons on top of the damn thing) $300 for the 1000 yard laser range finder attachment. $400 of I go for the 1500 yard version ( I haven't bought it yet, but one of these is coming soon). Total = $1230 so far (1330 if I get the stronger laser) Between this and the Sig glass I bought recently..........looks like I ain't getting that Kimber this year after all.

Welcome from Maryland.

Works for me. But I'm easy.

So, after unpacking this thing and jamming some batteries in it just to get it running, I was thinking the obvious. Pretty cool just because what it is. An NV digital optic, with all sorts of super cool sounding features. I wasn't really impressed at first. Daylight operations, it was looking a little grainy at first. There are a couple of adjustments that can be made for focusing and such. Then the picture cleared up. So I dick around with the thing for a while, checking things like the internal compass, pitch and roll indicators. Like I said pretty cool. This thing is WAAAYYYYYYY too smart for it's own good. From the optical standpoint, I didn't spend a lot of time grilling this thing yet. They say that this thing will just eat up batteries and spit em out. Which, appears to be true. No problem though. I've already ordered the external power pack that ATN "suggests" to use with it. So we'll see how that works when it gets here. I also haven't bothered mounting it to the SASS yet. Even though it comes with a mount on it. I've ordered an ARMS QD mount for it to make it easier putting it on and off of the rifle. SO I figure I'll go through the whole mounting and trueing it once I get the other mount. So.............................the NV portion of this. I finally took it out in the back yard the other night. WHOA! They ain't kidding when they say NV. It gives a pretty damn good (and clear) picture in semi darkness. I only messed with it for a couple of minutes, but I was impressed with the picture and clarity that the thing produced. I intend to try installing their app onto one of my tablets to check that part of it out. I threw it onto my work phone (my personal one is too old and not compatible).....and damn if it doesn't do as advertised. The picture comes up crystal clear on the phone. Pretty fukin cool. But I want to try it on a larger screen. But of course, the tablet is fighting me about installing the app. So I'm still working on that (fukin EVIL google). I wish they had an app that would work on my "surface" tablet. But it's only for apple stuff and (FUKIN) google platforms. So I'll keep you all updated as I slowly piece this thing together and finally get it setup properly. And yes......I've already planned on buying their laser range-finder that is designed to snap onto this thing. It Bluetooth pairs to the optic. Supposedly, with that, combined with being paired to the phone as well. It gets all the atmospheric conditions. Plus, combined with the ballistic data of the round being fired. It's supposed to be able to adjust and shift the reticle automatically to compensate for point of impact. Sounds too good to be true. We'll see as this goes along. R2

They kicked Tampa's ass tonight. I love it.

I thought we drained that nasty stuff. That $hit was like turpentine.

Welcome from Maryland.

Don't go starting nasty rumors like that.

Welcome from Maryland.

That's an amazing price!

Game 5 gettin ready to get started. These fukers better not tear my heart out.........................................like they usually do.

Yeah, yeah......I remember. I'll probably add you to the trust soon. And she was on her way from a concert in San Fran, to Reno to stay with her brother who just moved out there. I told that girl to slow her ass down.

Now THAT's gonna be a cryin ass shame right there.

I've got a metric $hit ton of the 20 round mags for all of my 10 B's. I've never had any kind of mag related issue. Even if you don't like the price, you're only buying them once. You won't have to replace them.

And he is a very pretty man.

Good comm is never a bad thing. I could definitely see this becoming more "normal" at the fall shoot.

And you think that we don't have the resources to already know this?

People like to $hit on those Goodman units. But me and a buddy of mine swapped out my ancient unit about 4 years ago with one of those. And it's never even burped since then. It was only about a 1 1/2 ton unit (house is only about 2400 sq ft). Only cost me about $1900. But that was with us doing all the labor. Good luck brother. The HVAC field is one of those that people can get screwed easily if not paying attention.

That sounds good. I'll take a front row drinking seat for that. Oh yeah....all of my seats are drinking seats. Just watch out for GREG.

Don't be fooled my Edge's Mass address. He's a Redwings man.
