You like that immersive
Having owned an MTC Connect prior ... YES a major improvement in clarity as well brightness.
Having ZERO eye relief does take some getting use too as does the need to have optic rearward so far.
On a PUP platform it indeed is better balanced looking as well use over such an optic placed on a long gun / rifle.
As an optic for a hunter and low light use the FOV is expansive and gathers a LOT of light making it ideal in low light / twilight and/or when needing to see the larger picture typically hidden outside a conventional optics FOV ;)

Awesome thanks wanting one for one of my squirrel busters
 
Decided to commit to a .177 today for squirrel in the big woods. Told myself when I left the truck that I should probably be a head shot topic guy today. But I just can’t.

I did find an issue with this gun but I can live with it. When I am shooting up and cock the gun, a slug will sometimes get back into the area where the probe retracts to causing a jam. It can be a day ender but I relied on the build quality of these Eastern Europe guns and force the probe forward and fire a shot. Then cock the gun again, remove mag and get the smashed one out of the back of the block. Zero issues moving forward cocking the gun level.

Great day to be shooting some grays. I'm glad the compact is doing well for you

As we are baiting right in front of the shot shed, or 25 M or so in front of it, well i just use my Two, wearing the NV500 after dusk.
If i was to go mobile in a more target rich environment i would probably have to dust off the lighter Maverick that also have a bigger magazine.

Contemplating getting a set of lower rings to try out.
Also how to get / make / whatever a more suitable rear rest.

I want to shot one of those uragan 2 pretty bad
No wind tonight so I would like to finish up some testing. Finally dove into the Uragan platform. I resisted as long as possible because of how ugly I thought they were but I finally caved. I’ve been on this forum for a while. The benefit is you get to know who is for real and who’s a flash in the pan. Just like the AAA Evol, the legit guys who know their sh#t about guns don’t argue or go off when you debate with them about just how good is this gun really. Probably three different guys on this forum had me comfortable with investing in this platform. The gun on the far left, the little Lelya and the red U2 don’t need tested. Was just too lazy to put them away.

Whats the caliber?
 
Here’s my pesting 177. Krait standard with STO Falx .177 moderator. The action is louder than the shot. Shooting KO 10.03 and H&N Baracuda Hunter Extremes. Got a squirrel and 4 sparrows this morning. Shot from my covered porch and too lazy to go out in the snow and take pictures!

Here's my other 177. Wolverine R with IO 14x50 scope. This has probably taken more squirrels than any other rifle I have. It likes JSB 10.34s.
