So got my hands on one of these. Pretty decent piece of kit if you are trying to run a clip on in front of a spotter. Only thing I would have liked to see was a section of pic or arca that you could mount an illuminator/pointer in line with the optics.

I'm going to see if I can mount a 4 slot mlok pic rail under the 27 and get my luna under there.

Rails for LMSS?

I was able to buy one of the LMSS spotters earlier this year for $400 when they were liquidating them. I would really like to get some of the rails I have seen for them but the only thing I can find is this system from BO, and its $600. Is there anywhere to buy individual rails or a cheaper...

I’m not sure what Spotting Scope that is? Vortex I presume?

You might be able to squeeze in an offset mount like the ones used for red dots on gas guns behind the 27 and mount a pointer that way.

Minox, Swarovski and Henny are other ones.

Guess my young enough visions sucks, cause I’ll take a Leupy over all those that have been mentioned (aside from Hensoldt)

Woof.... The glass on that razor is better than anything Leupy I have ever looked through.

Swaro discontinued theirs iirm

That henny though...gotta do some research on that bad boy

Reticle options, aftermarket support, and FOV is why I take Mk4. Especially if a guy doesn't want to fork the money for a Hensoldt.

Swaro still makes the STR80. Great reticle, but the FOV is garbage. If you're using it for comps, you'd see why. But if you're not moving a lot while spotting, then you'll be fine.

Hensoldt is 2nd to none, though. Just don't get the Spotter60. That reticle sucks ass LOL.

I just ordered one of these spotter kits yesterday. Hopefully it shows tomorrow (paid for 2 day shipping). I also picked up a Grey Man Ops arca dual mounting plate and already had a Ashbury Tims along with other RRS parts to put it together. Why you might ask?!

fusion spotter with reticle and LRF & illuminator (x2) .

the first ever to be used in this fashion.
The BAE TRIGR does PIP (picture in picture) thermal overlay over the day image, which will be looking through Nightvision . Nifty huh 🤔?

give me a hollar on my cell sometime today if you are free, just want to make sure you are setup for success with the system you are creating. Just checking to make sure it’ll all work out for you. Or don’t give me a call and roll the dice, looking forward to seeing the end result.

on a plane from 1100-1245PST then pretty free.

It has built in GPS so that when you target something it gives exact coordinates. ;P

So does the Moskito.

And I can see the IR laser through it.

The PAS23 at least got it somewhat right in that its a thermal with a reticle but also a built in IR laser. While the thermal can't see the IR, you at least know whatever is on the reticle is what the laser is hitting.

So when you are observing with that gigantic thermal thingy and you see some guy hanging out in a bush at 980m and let your shooter know you have a new target; how are you getting him onto it without that 30 in front? You basically can't other than using the same method as you would during the day and having it diminished at night. You're losing 50% of your night time advantage as far as combat shooting is concerned right off the bat.

Secondly, needing a 30 on front and for it to mainly all be tripod mounted is a huge disadvantage. Nighttime operations generally require displacements from FFPs to secondary sites as well as movement off a FFP for other reasons. Having to break down and stow all of that shit to get going and then set up again is going to be cool for about 15 minutes. This is where a handheld bino with NV and range finding capabilities really shines.

To calculate the firing point coordinates you still need azimuth and range to target.

Hey now, that was my next question!

Moskito has both internal GPS as well as links to the Trimble with FFS. Using it or the PLRF15c with the Trimble in GPS mode, you can laser any target and it will tell you the GPS/MGRS information of whatever you just hit with the laser.

Perfect for those times you want to just chill out and let someone drop a bomb on it.

Where is the azimuth coming from? Moskito or PLRF15?

Both are capable of it as both have an internal compass.

Both also connect to the Trimble/FFS via cable and can be activated/fired via the nonmagnetic cable.

PLRF15C is lighter/smaller and capable of NV running behind it, but has a filter in it that negates seeing a bit of the IR power kind of like how sunglasses would. The Moskito has this too, however newer (or some?) Gen3 NV units seem to have had this removed.

Glad you brought up the trimble. Im intimately familiar with the original S&B MSD and trimble with plrf15c. crazy how its still relevant today unless your one of the really cool kids with L3 FCS.

Seems a hooking a radius to a thermal would solve a lot of your problems cheaply lol. Radius has the laser and range for ya

@wigwamitus does this
