    DNT Zulus question.

    this thread should answer your question: Thread 'Recticle position on digital/NV optics' https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/recticle-position-on-digital-nv-optics.1326288/ in short, having a off centered reticle at base magnification is a characteristic of the zulus optic. If the barrel on...

    FX How to remove plenum or barrel on Panthera

    This part underwent a design change. After making certain that the plenum is fully depressurize, loosen the barrel set screws and pull the barrel assembly out. Make sure you or someone else is not standing directly in front of the barrel when you do this as an added safety precaution. This...

    Thinking about about buying this budget thermal setup!

    If you are planning on mounting this as a “through scope“ type of viewer, it will not work. Thermal sensors will not see through glass like a digital night sensor will. For the price I think you would be much better off getting a proper thermal monocular. I bet you could pick up something like a...

    Rat Hunters: Epic Haul by Professional Pest Control Hunter

    Wow, that will definitely put a dent in the population on that farm. It’s probably going to smell like dead rodent for a long time. I doubt he was able to retrieve more than 20% of all those kills.

    ThermNight vs Hydra

    I think you are just missing it. It’s the red colored shape right in the center of the thermal pip screen at the 45 second mark. The recordings produced by the thermnight hide the reticle in the pip screen for some reason. Perhaps you thought the red shape was the reticle?

    ThermNight vs Hydra

    You welcome. Here is a video I took with the tnc335r. It shows how well the optic works for tracking small critters on the move.

    Maximum Parallax Error

    This is an excellent paper that discusses this topic in detail. The key takeaway is that maximum possible parallax error does not equal the calculated parallax error for a given magnification and offset. Magnification does effect the amount of parallax error for a given offset because the exit...

    ThermNight vs Hydra

    I have a thermnight tnc335r that I have been using for night pesting, mainly mice. It has been a game changer for me compared with the thermal monocular spotter and digital night scope combo I was using before. Simultaneously displaying both thermal and digital night vision is VERY! useful when...

    Eye relief

    Parallax error is multiplied with increased magnification. The likelihood of a shooter dialing it all out quickly is very low, especially if the rifle is not fully supported and decoupled from the shooters body. To minimize the error, I have found it’s best practice to use the minimum amount of...

    Recticle position on digital/NV optics

    I have a ATN x-sight 5 and a DNT tnc335r. The ATN centers the reticle at base magnification after zeroing, while the DNT does not. The DNT does center the reticle when magnification is increased above the base magnification though. The only way to achieve a centered reticle at base magnification...

    FX Help with FX Panthera plenum valve tube end

    I think FX redesigned this part because some users have found that the older clamp version was causing accuracy inconsistency. Matt Dubber briefly mentioned loosening this clamp in a video that outlined the setup of his competition Panthera. The clamps purpose is to prevent the end user from...

    Panthera 700 advice

    I had the same issue as you when it came to not being able to get my scope far enough away from my eye on the Panthera platform. The solution I settled on was a pair of offset rings that might be hard to find atm since they were recently discontinue. The rings are the UTG accusync model air422s...

    Mind Blowing $1100 THERMAL Hunting Scope (Video Review) DNT Optics ThermNight

    I just took delivery of the 335 model. I have not had a chance to put it through its paces yet, but so far I am impressed with its fit and finish. The user interface is a massive improvement over the x-sight 5 3-15 LRF unit I have been using for night pest work. It is very easy and quick to...

    Tripod question

    I don’t have any experience with sunwayfoto or innorel tripods, but I do own quite a few Leofoto tripods (LN-364c, LN-324c, Sa-403, Sa-364, Sa-324). All of them are exceptional quality, and well worth the price. I have a few of their rrs anvil 30 ball head copies along with a few of the real...

    Sometimes it seems like looking for a needle in a haystack,good lite weight

    The razor 4.5-22 LHT is a great lightweight optic that really does bridge the gap between hunting and tactical styles. It is well worth the price if you can grab one for around $900-1k. The glass quality is edged by its gen2 brethren, but it is very comparable at nearly half the weight and cost...

    Scope Question

    This topic was discussed about one month ago: https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/whats-the-scope-height-with-factory-30-moa-tilted-rails.1324002/ in short, the error that would be induced by entering the scope height measured at the objective as opposed to the eyepiece is negligible, unless...

    Digital scopes (not thermal) with or without LRF

    I have a x-sight 5 lrf 3-15 model mounted to my night pesting rig. Overall it has worked well for this application and ballistic calculations have been spot on for me. It does have some quirks though. The user interface is slow to navigate, and its missing quite a few settings that would greatly...

    Sometimes it seems like looking for a needle in a haystack,good lite weight

    It sounds like you are looking for a scope that would fall into the hybrid hunter tactical category. Check out the vortex razor 4.5-22x50 LHT, it probably checks most of your boxes.

    FFP Scopes and all the hype

    There is some truth with regards to using lower magnifications to achieve better accuracy. I find all to often that most shooters crank their scopes up to maximum magnification and suffer poi inconsistency because of parallax error. I always tell them to only use the minimum magnification they...
