sketch Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Well I've had some night time enhancement parts show up, and have a short term review. I paired this with a 1-6 scope on a 300blk.. loaded some 220gn subs and shot at 75yds. Sighting in the red dot is easy to do, done with a tool that ships with the optic or a small blade. R/L dial , U/D Dial. While looking through the scope it alines with the cross hairs of the scope. Close the dust cover and neither are of use.. remove the camera cover for the thermal and turn on. You get a green hot and black or grayish cold. This also has a retical you can align. Took some button pushing but easy as that. Multiple styles to choose from in both the red dot or thermal settings. Zoom in thermal is pretty cool. I can see the paper targets and just make out the red chevron targets. Looking through the scope did make it hard to completely focus from the scope end of things, but i could easily make the targets. The backstop is plywood and a 8ft sand berm behind that. The best part was watching the hot sand splash above the plywood and watching the green projectile flip up in the air. One shot a projo landed just at the top of the berm and I watched it tumbling to the bottom, to be picked up later, as I saw where it stopped. Final thought .. its great! Looking with a scope its ok but probably not intended, but it worked! I would probably take the batteries out or loosen to cap as they like NV can damage internal devices? Size doesn't matter when you can see in the dark. Conditions were raining, cloudy. Am time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armed Eye Doc Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Looks like a good addition to the rifle. If you don't mind saying, what does it cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnMike Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 @sketchAppreciate the review. Thermal/night vision capability is on my "wish list". Expensive wish for me, based upon the amount of time I'll probably use it. But I imagine I'll get there sooner than later. My biggest concern is plunking down the payment and being disappointed out the gate or buying a device that craps out in a short period of time with no recourse. I have a couple of Holosun devices that have been bulletproof. I've had a 507k on my EDC for 5+ years and only had to change the battery once. Never thought of using a thermal in conjunction with a conventional scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted April 10 Author Report Share Posted April 10 In house thermal. This will not see through glass. My dogs and critters are lit up if I'm outside. I can see my reflection in the TV or windows as green hot. I can see my foot print in carpet for a few minutes in socks. Or a couch that is warm in a heated house , it is a bit washed out but cycling through the options you can see heat of man just fine. I think it adjust its self in temperature areas as it does pause randomly. I will try some off gun sight pics when I have time .. this device is worth my $ if it holds up. I was stoked to see it work in daylight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
