    What is the ideal SHTF optic?

    Hmmm...warfighters imitate gamers, kit wise, has been my observation. Where do you think FF rails, LPVOs, and comps came from?

    What is the ideal SHTF optic?

    Less of a justification, more of an explanation. Neither my girlfriend nor my accountant are on this forum.

    What is the ideal SHTF optic?

    I have a 11.40kw of inverted power from my solar array and an EV with a 77.4kw battery that allows me to pull 1500w off of it. I can also pull direct-drive off of the inverters at the array.

    What is the ideal SHTF optic?

    I went with an NX8 1-8 FC-DMX. For my AO, that works well. Not much chance of shooting >300m, but if I do, I have a mil grid to play with. The 1x performance is the best I've used in an LPVO so far (MK6, K16i, ATACR, etc. all owned 'em and sent 'em on down the road). The NX8 is extremely tough...

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    I just thought it was wild that it would detect footprints on wet grass after a minute.

    Mounts - Gray Ops vs Area 419

    1) It removes action flex from the scope on some platforms. 2) The mount is more "true" than all but custom actions with integral base. 3) AR's and AR based platforms are massively popular, so making a unimount type is going to be the easy path to profits in a saturated industry, so from a...

    I did some measuring for you. As best I can determine, image vs scene displacement is a maximum of 5" at 20m distance. Its literally nothing. I just hate wiggles and jiggles. Also of note, in high contrast mode I could track a 50# short hair dog at 140m or so. Beyond that he got faint...

    Mounts - Gray Ops vs Area 419

    I've wondered about your bare aluminum mounts. What prevents this from oxidizing and being abrasive/harder than anodizing would have been, anyway? Raw aluminum in air will form a very thin layer of aluminum oxide almost instantly.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Yeah, I'm not trying to come off as complaining or like "It has a problem". This can't be an interference fit. It's GOING to have some tiny bit of clearance. A bit of light tension from a bungee effects retention and solidifies it.

    I am noticing the tiniest but of wobble between TAD and bracket. Very small, but it bothers me. All rail surfaces look fine. So, I do a fix.

    Sport Optics ?

    Not lately, but I've trained with them, visited the store in person, and bought online/over the phone. 100% G2G and a class act!

    Yes, I just held down the power button as I recall. It began flashing at maybe 20hz and was locked up.

    What...ancillary equipment IS there for the TAD?

    100%. This may make me sound "poor", but for $6500, they better sort it no questions asked unless it's from obvious abuse (I am not implying it is, just stating that when you charge this much for a product, that shit better work, and work correctly, and if it's not the buyer's fault you better...

    I have H tubes in my binos. 38snr,0.5ebi,72lp, or thereabouts with 4um mcp. They're fine. The noise is slightly more, ever so slight, but I prefer them to similar spec UA tubes. It gives me that last 10% more edge in the dark where I live. Autogain housing.

    That is why I run mine over the left tube, as I am right eye dominant and will passive aim as such.
