I have all but the front clipons and for the reasons expressed by @Sky King I have not looked into one further. I use the clipons now (PARDS) mostly for taking movies of daytime shooting as I use the dedicated ones (PARD, Zulus, and Thermtec) for night use. As @Vetmx said for the closer range...

Here are the specs:

@Hal4son - Well I actually have the Alpex 4k LRF incoming now... Where there's a will (and money) there's a way! I will let everyone know how I like the Alpex once it arrives. The 2.5 - 20 power range plus the 1024x768 viewfinder is what really got me going on the unit. The Zulus 5-20 is...

@Csbrown5 As I said I got the scope as a "Demo" unit so I paid around half of the regular cost which is around $3.5k. Their top of the line with the dual 20/60 lens is about $4K new. I would have loved to have gotten that one as it goes from wide view at close range (20mm lens) to great detail...

@LONESTAR .25 I did it the old fashioned way... After I have my zero set for the pellet/slug profile, I set my targets at determined ranges and shoot them to figure out the hold - trial and error! With the Arken, you can set many profiles and then just adjust for the next 10 - 15 yards until...

Yes, I went out this morning with the dog and we found it. The grass was thicker in that area and the rabbit was laying flat on it's side - that's why I didn't pick it up when scanning for it last night. The crosshairs changing color when the target is in focus indicates it is ranged correctly...

Took out another rabbit tonight. New thermal scope. Posted more info in "Optics"

A very long story, but I'll try and make a shorter summation. I tried to purchase a Hikmicro Alpex 4k LRF from this UK establishment and they took my money and then I filled out the )(#*$)(* paperwork to receive an NV/thermal device to have them receive the documentation - snail mail only - and...

Since we're showing off pigs, here's mine. .22 caliber with a Hawke Frontier 34 FFP 5-30 x 56. It likes a wide range of pellets but is a bit pickier on slugs. At the current tune, I can't put 18g or lower weight ammo in as they are going at over 1085 fps! 25.4g FX/JSB average 944fps. And it...

I stuck an extra Uragan one in that I have in it. Doesn't go all the way through but protects one side... I think a talented 3D printer person could make some!

I'm shooting AVS 61g out of my .30 and am getting good grouping at 100 yards. I want better, so I'm sending it to @zx10wall for some tuning. It's getting 109fpe right now! For using in the field with a tripod, I can't think of much better to take down feral hogs and coyotes! Walking around...

Just to attest to the Vet 2 tactical, here is my 100 yard target from yesterday at the range. I was using JSB KOs .218 25.39g at an average of 940fps (49.8 fpe). I had the front on a bipod but was just holding the back - to practice more of my hunting style. The gun clearly is better than me...

I took my Vet 2 Tactical 700mm out yesterday to the range. At a 250bar fill, I get 60 shots before it drops to 180bar (I'm guessing at the pressure drop off - haven't really chrony'd it yet to know). I shot both pellets and slugs with no distinction between which grouped better at 25, 50, 100...

I went to the range today to shoot. Nice day under 90 degrees! I have the Arken Zulus 5x20 Non-LRF on my Uragan .25 (tuned by @zx10wall). It has been tuned for JSB 33.95 MKIIs and that is what I am shooting. I zeroed the gun at 30 yards first. These photos are at 50 yards with a hold over...
