True night vision (generation dependent) does have a green tint (uses green phosphor.). But the prices are $4k and up with the newest gen, what, $20k I think? What it sounds like you’re not familiar with (correct me if I’m wrong) is the “night vision” many here are referring to, which is the...

Are you sure you understand the difference between true green phosphor night vision and an infrared scope? Infrared scopes aren’t green tinted or colored, they’re “black and white” projections of infrared light. They are basically identical to your home security cameras and use an IR...

I have the TS19-256. I do very specialized hunting at night for rats. I’m never more than 20 yards away, usually under ten yards. Identification isn’t an issue, spotting them is. If I see it, I know it needs some lead. If I had wanted to spend the money I’d have gone 384 and I’d highly...

For the V1, I’ve seen how you can use an external USB C battery pack, it’s doable. But looking at the V2, they did it right by making them battery packs that can be popped in and out, and they’re getting like 10 hours from each pack. That’s more than I’d ever need. the V1, even with good...

Yep, probaboy so. Just make sure you get the V2. the V1, which I have, is just fine, but the battery life sucks and it uses CR123’s, so even using rechargeables I only get about an hour or so. which is fine for me in my backyard, but it’d be a pain in the ass if you needed many hours in the...

$2k will get you the AGM Rattler 384, that’d be a kick ass scope for under 100 yards. $2k gets you a lot more than it used to. Check out AGM for sure.

I’m very happy with my AGM Rattler TS19-256. Because I use it for very close range I don’t need or want the higher magnification. I also get a better picture than if I were going longer distances. Their new version is $1200 and has a bigger battery pack and supposedly a “better” sensor. I...

Thanks.. yeah the “shorter is louder” maybe makes sense with all other things being equal but seems velocity would be the number one sacrifice.

thanks! I didn’t know about Penchetta, they’re about 20 miles away, so totally doable. Looks like they carry some brands AOA doesn’t, so I’ll have to check them out. I did see the Evol at AOA, I’m headed back in the next few days to take a closer look at a few others. I did look at the...

Leon - the Sniper XR is about a foot (maybe two) feet too long. I miss shots all the time due to having to work in cramped conditions where I can’t maneuver for a good shot. Imagine waking down a hallway and shooting around the corner (wood/pallets/plants…stuff). I’m often bumping the muzzle...

Leon - you may be on to something. As I wrote in my post above I picked up the Vulcan 3 but I’m having some serious regret being it is so loud. I’d be more than happy to have my Sniper XR but about 12-18” shorter including moderator. This sounds like what you did? Did you mean the Sniper...

Alright - so I did pick up the Vulcan 3. It was LNIB (I don’t think it’d been shot) with all of the original accessories including original box. It seems to be mostly what I want, but man is it loud. This is the 500mm .22. I think it may be because my ear is so close to the action. My...

The Maverick does sound like an option that ticks all th boxes. I sure we I could see one of these in person before buying. AOA has a Vulcan 3 that I’m going to check out this morning. It may be what will work for me. Maybe not check all of the boxes, but between the Sniper XR and the Vulcan...

All great replies, thanks! I think I’ve either heard of or actually researched all of the guns mentioned, so that’s good. I don’t seem to be missing out on too much. And just to make sure I understand, the shorter the barrel, the less potential power (fps) I’m going to get, right? (All...

I bought a BRK Sniper XR in .22 about a year ago locally here from Airguns of AZ (lucky to have them so close.) It’s been great, zero issues. I’ve recently put a AGM Rattler thermal scope on it and been shooting rats. Next level fun. At the time I bought it I knew very little about PCPs and...
