    Clip-on NV vs. dedicatated NV scope?

    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...

    Thermtec Vidar 650L Thermal Scope - First Action

    @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...

    Thermtec Vidar 650L Thermal Scope - First Action

    @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...

    Arken Non-LRF Zulus

    @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...

    Thermtec Vidar 650L Thermal Scope - First Action

    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...

    Thermtec Vidar 650L Thermal Scope - First Action

    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...

    Taipan Taipan Veteran II Tactical aka Ugly Fat Pig

    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...

    Taipan Taipan Veteran II Tactical aka Ugly Fat Pig

    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!

    Airgun Technologies How is the vulcan tatical?

    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...

    Taipan Taipan Veteran II Tactical aka Ugly Fat Pig

    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...

    Taipan Taipan Veteran II Tactical aka Ugly Fat Pig

    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...

    Arken Non-LRF Zulus

    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...

    Zulus mount lugs

    Zulus range finder

    I have them both (posted in another thread). With the non-LRF you make profiles at various distances that you shoot and then use hold over/under for the in between ranges. Works very well. Between the 2, I prefer the LRF as it takes any guess work out of it but I have been just as effective...

    What did you order / receive airgun related today? Thread

    Pellets, slugs and o-rings. Can’t have too many of any of these!

    Zulus LRF vs non

    @Dairyboy - I think you will find that the scope does well out to 100 yards and the video for both day and night are very good. I thought I would be using mine more for night work but have found I really have started to like it for day shooting also. The video recording to me is just a bonus...

    Brocock/BRK Ghosted by a Ghost XR Carbine…🤓👻🙈💥

    @L.Leon - Now move the Arken Zulus over and have even more fun! Then you can record some day and night shooting for the crowds.

    Zulus LRF vs non

    @Dairyboy - It gets better if you want to swap out ammo/tunes with the same gun. All you do is add each profile and select it prior to shooting! I do that on a .177 that I have tuned to do 13gr and 16gr pellets - works like a charm. The BC/LRF does it's job properly. I don't swap the whole...
