    Night Vision Who has run a 1-8, 2-10 scope behind a Simrad?

    I was either unaware of the NF 2.5-10x42, or as @dms416 might have told me, I’ve been ignoring it for years because it wasn’t a PRS scope. The adjustable parallax, simple illuminated reticle, and 44’ Fov are appealing to me. I also like the idea of the 42mm obj over the 24, solely for hunting...

    Night Vision Who has run a 1-8, 2-10 scope behind a Simrad?

    That is exactly my concern, thanks for rephrasing it in understandable terms. I worded it like a real window licker. I’ve been told that FOV is determined by the day scope, so essentially I’m trying to figure out how low I can go before I experience diminishing returns. Whats the highest FOV...

    Night Vision NV and thermal kills...

    Got a quickie in last night. Been kind of slow for the last few weeks around here. Nice to get back into them.

    Night Vision Who has run a 1-8, 2-10 scope behind a Simrad?

    I hunt coyotes in central Illinois with a 203 Simrad. For the last two seasons I’ve been really happy with the 4-14 SHV F1 behind it, but I believe there are better options. I’ve come to realization that my FOV is shit with this setup. I lost at least two coyotes last night that I couldn’t...

    M5E1 Lapping Tool

    I am near Lexington, and I appreciate the offer, but I don’t think the standard tool will fit inside the M5e1

    Night Vision Confused on clip-on vs. dedicated thermal

    You can mount a Simrad on top on your spuhr. IMHO this will be the cheapest, highest quality route for the occasional hunt. I’ve shot mine on a 22-250AI to 800 yards and I beat the hell out of it on a regular basis. I can’t leave it mounted and get it in a case which is required in IL, so...

    Range Report Cold bore 500 yards daily

    I bought this target last week to practice cold bore with my night rig off of a tripod. My intentions are to load up my eberlestock pack in the mornings before sun up and walk down to my shooting lane roughly 600 yards deploy the tripod, clip my simrad on, guesstimate distance, and shoot. I’m...

    Accessories WTB .224 8 twist blank, or 22 creed barrel for an Impact.

    I’m working on a new coyote rifle. Looking for an 8 twist or slower .224 blank, carbon or steel. Would also consider a 22 creedmoor barrel for an impact, but it must be 8 twist or slower. My 7.7t on my 22-250AI blows the TMKs apart around 3500. Let me know what you have. Thanks.

    Night Vision NV and thermal kills...

    I use both, but the guys I hunt with are all thermal. I like the positive ID that I get at distance from NV. I shoot with a 203 Simrad in front of a NF SHV F1 and scan with a Axion XM38. Knock in on wood, but I feel like it’s a pretty bomb proof setup. We have a lot of smart dogs around...

    Night Vision NV and thermal kills...

    We’ve had a couple good hauls this year, 7 on this night in particular. I think it will start getting good after this moon passes.
