    Night Vision Halo XRF Optical Center, Height above bore for thermals.

    I have almost the exact same setup; XRF with Bobro offset mount on a 6mm creedmoor, 20moa rail, ARchimedes action. I just took careful measurements with my calipers. Mine is 2.88" above bore. Interestingly my other rifle with a steiner M7 scope on it is 2.90". Its not that critical to have...

    Night Vision Thermals

    I've had a Steiner S-35. Currently have a Steiner H35 and a Halo XRF 50. In hindsight I would get a good clip on over a dedicated weapon sight because I would like to have some flexibility in what gun I use. A clip on can be moved between guns pretty easy. But, and this is a major caveat...

    M830r LRF 1535nm

    I had a set. They were un-real in what they could range! I had them at the outer banks, NC and ranged a fishing vessel over 5 miles offshore. The return was over 9000yds. Mine also had the bluetooth adapter for the Kestrel. It was a little slow but it worked consistently. I occasionally...

    Please delete

    I agree with @redneckbmxer24 Laser your target, read the correction on your Kestrel, Dial your scope, hold for wind, squeeze the trigger. The ballistic tools today are so good that a miss is generally a mistake in target range input. Especially at the longer range targets. Your method has...

    Sig Kilo 6k HD

    Yeah I'm seeing the Kilo6k on sale now for half what I paid new a year ago. At $800 it's a smoking deal!

    East Coast Night Shoot 2023

    N-Vision Optics was there with 3 Halo XRF -50 thermal sights. They were mounted up on a 6mmCreedmoor bolt gun and a NEMO AR in 300winmag. Anybody was welcome to step up and try a few shots on targets out to 700 yards. I got to try a L3 CNVD on my son's 224valk. It was pretty cool. Nothing...

    East Coast Night Shoot 2023

    In Garretsville OH. Me and my son were there. It was a super good time. Lots of like-minded people there with a lot of high end gear. And lots of long range shooting. Suppressed. In total darkness. Lots of machine guns too. And a flamethrower.

    Wet Sloshing Brass

    Figured this out a long time ago... It doesnt get the brass as clean as SS pin tumbling (primer pockets and inside), it also doesnt peen the case mouth like pins do. But you also dont have pins to separate.

    Mini Review: Steiner M7Xi 2.9-20x50 and Apex Training Solutions "Long Range 101" Course

    Yeah, same with my M7xi 4-28x56. Steiner did replace it once though.

    Is Navin Grusome ready to announce his run?

    He's not going to run, but he'll probably be president. Hear me out. They cant hide Biden's dementia any longer. The guy was barely smarter than a turnip 20 years ago. He's a full on vegetable now. He talks to ghosts (hallucinations) tries to shake hands with nobody, falls down. He's...

    Optimum barrel time: great theory or bunk?

    Agreed. But we're dealing here in the realm of theories. And until this phenomenon can be proven or disproven, anecdotes will carry a lot of weight. It also seems like the OBT concept has been thoroughly validated: i.e. There is an optimum time for the bullet to exit the barrel. Bullet group...

    Optimum barrel time: great theory or bunk?

    I watched the video with Eric Cortina and Chris Long discussing OBT. I'm not sure why you say its bunk? Its a phenomenon thats while it may not be easily observable, is clearly repeatable. One can form a hypothesis around it and test it's veracity. Eric Cortina did absolutely no load testing...

    Night Vision Safran ICUGR Laser Rangefinder

    1550nm laser. Looks good on paper. No experience with one at all.

    Steiner T6xi

    Same with mine. The parallax adjustment on mine is pretty stiff though. I got the T6 to replace a T5 thinking it was better. But the T5 is still on my rifle and the T6 is still unused in the box. I prefer the T5.

    Night Vision Nvision x50 vs Nox 35 magnification difference

    I was able to compare my HALO XRF-50 and a NOX35 last year at the East Coast Night Shoot. Side by side they are strikingly different. The wider FOV of the 35 was pretty nice. I've had the XRF-50 out coyote hunting several times. The terrain in my AO is primarily woods. I find myself...

    Microtech OTF knife - blade steel

    I've had a Guardian Tactical OTF for about 2 yrs. Its nice. But the mechanism must be getting some pocket lint in it as its starting to not lock out.

    My community rose to the occasion.

    Hey OP, yeah it was a bad storm. I was driving through it on I-75 between flint and Birch Run. Massive unbelievable downpour! We were about 45mins ahead of the stuff you got. Jakelly. Eat a bag of dicks!
