    It's been fun, but it's time for me to move on

    First, thank you for being a part of keeping America free and know your service is GREATLY APPRECIATED BEYOND WORDS. I was never active duty but was DoD GS and it's not very often I worked with people with class such as yourself. I have periods where I'm active on the hide then periods where...

    The new Athlon Ares BTR G3 2.5-15x50, initials, and ongoing thoughts.

    That 18 in WOA is begging for an FFP optic, mine loves 77 gr Smk and TMK .... factory IMI Razorcore 77grn (which is an SMK) shoots great too

    Awesome man, how much further out you think you could take one out ....say ideal conditions....also...what core is that super Yoter 384 or 640? Additinally.....what are you using to range them at night ?

    The new Athlon Ares BTR G3 2.5-15x50, initials, and ongoing thoughts.

    Hard for me to say exactly, I'm sure @steve123 can weigh in better as far as comparing to other scopes. I've got 3x different Athlons on all of my rifles. Are they the most tip top Gucci loaded scopes.....no....do they fit my budget and work well enough to get the job done...yes. My first...

    Thermal clip on for nx8 4-32

    Correct. If a device is meant to be used as a clip on, frequently the screen size looks very small at 1x.

    Thermal clip on for nx8 4-32

    I can say I just got my first thermal from @tam4511 at SOK, check the specs https://guideir-thermal.com/products/thermal-clip-on-ta-451 I haven't had time to look through it at range but inside a house looking at an old electric wall heater on 1x digital zoom behind my Athlon Talos 4-14 it's...

    Thoughts on the staying power of 8.6 blackout? Is it around to stay? Do you think Hornady will offer an alternative that will replace it?

    Not trying to bash your ideas, it's a free country and do as you please. Here's food for thought when money's literally worthless and nobody is coming to help. Imagine how much better off you'd be with the capability to reload in this situation......I'd also add that owning the night would be...

    Thoughts on the staying power of 8.6 blackout? Is it around to stay? Do you think Hornady will offer an alternative that will replace it?

    I've debated a 8.6 build .....paused it for all the reasons mentioned above. If 6.5+ twist starts becoming a product offered by most barrel mfgs as an off the shelf option....maybe it stays long term....if not I'd say the chance of it fading is significantly higher. As far as reloading......it...

    308 vs 6 ARC & 6.5 Grendel

    Lots of people in here with far more experience using AR's long range than me I'll drop this vid link mainly because 1. I was interested in results of both 6 ARC and 6.5CM in 14.5 in configurations and 2. both rifles were same barrel length I have no idea if this dude is on here or not and I...

    Vortex Impact 4000 Cold Weather Issues

    This is slick, gives me an idea about putting my remote for my thermal in the grip like they have for the Imp. 4k

    A little help with thermal optics please

    This looks a lot like the Guide 451 I just picked up from @tam4511 @gr8fuldoug is this DNT running a Sensmart Guide core? And to be clear, the DNT being discussed in this thread has the option to run as a standalone scope with an option to "add" a digital reticle?

    Vortex Impact 4000 Cold Weather Issues

    This matches up with discussions today with a buddy about his Raptar having no issues in the cold. He didn't state temps but its been single digits without factoring in windchill a lot where he lives and he's been getting out in the weather a good bit as of lately.

    Vortex Impact 4000 Cold Weather Issues

    Gotcha, I'm working at a Fabrication shop right now so I'll work up a fix. I appreciate the feedback and sorry to be off topic. Carry on with Impact 4000 cold weather talk. I'd really like to pick one up one day and knowing how it will perform in cold/extreme cold weather is definitely a...

    SOLD Silencerco Radius

    Awesome seller, even though USPS stalled the package out for almost a week at a distribution center he stayed in contact with me and was checking tracking/sending me texts on his own accord without me having to bug him. Radius came in just as described, in original box with all the oem bits...

    Vortex Impact 4000 Cold Weather Issues

    Out of curiosity, did you have it mounted vertically (on the "side") of a handguard/rail or horizontally like on a diving board above an optic ?

    Vortex Impact 4000 Cold Weather Issues

    @j-moose32 @Curt193 , I don't mean to be off topic here but by chance we're there any SWR Radius being ran at mammoth? If so, notice any similar cold weather issues? Reason i ask is because a good friend of mine and I are planning on doing Mammoth Jan '26 .....I have a Radius on its way to me.

    Night Vision Laser speed/ Knockoff lasers

    @j-moose32 have you ever used a Luna Elir3 IR laser? (NOT the light, which can easily be confused looking it up online) When you get one, the first thing to do is "adjust the allen screw on the filter" It has an adjustable beam divergence so it can be used as a conventional IR laser or widen...
