    Wilcox Raid-Xe

    I’m curious, what is it for? Game? Chinesium airsoft replica?

    Night Vision Iray Rico 1280

    My logic tells me that a lower value would mean a smaller temperature difference is “observable”, which should equal a better functionality. Hence lower is better. Buuut, the TigIR is 40mk standard. The data sheet states that a 60mk unit is available for special order, which doesn’t make any...

    Night Vision Iray Rico 1280

    Gonna be interesting to see these tested by people not paid by Iray. It seems that this will be a serious game changer, which is fantastic, since it will further push the evolution of thermals, and lower prices for existing solutions.

    Sounds like something that will set you back a liver and half a kidney - provided that these are in decent condition!

    Night Vision TNVC "Supergain" Tubes

    I guess not. I know for a fact that the standard PVS-14 in the danish military is FOM restricted (1600). But also that our special forces gear are not restricted. Either that, or they traded with someone in the ‘stan…

    Night Vision TNVC "Supergain" Tubes

    So much for ITAR and only selling FOM restricted tubes to allies, although gain isn’t part of FOM calculus. There must be something else about gain in ITAR.

    Night Vision TNVC "Supergain" Tubes

    Why the term “korean”? Is it meant for that marked, and if so, what about export restrictions? No matter what, it’s awesome news that the engineers have found a way to tweak and further improve the capabilities. Photonis will have a time trying to push their “OOB” sales pitch, although they...

    Night Vision Clip-on Nv in Europe

    Check out egu.de and optics-world.nl The latter had cheap Hensoldt NSV‘s some time ago. Grey marked is also an option, although it can be a gamble.

    Rifle Scopes What kind of Schmidt and Bender is this?

    And please share the answer. I love these odd-pieces… Maybe we should get Ian McCollum to make a spin-off series - “Forgotten Optics”…

    Rifle Scopes Lead times on March Genesis 6-60x56?

    No idea about the lead times in the US, but please share a few pictures once you got the setup completed. It sounds like the stuff of my dreams.

    Stuff you don't mix: ARC Rings, LPVOs, Wood Furniture, Suppressed Single Shot

    People can think what they want, don’t care about them, care what you think. I think it’s an amazing build, and beautiful. Have been tinkering with finding a kiplauf myself, in 45-70 and then make a subsonic hunting potato cannon with a gigantic can and a S&B short dot. Kiplaufs are pure.

    Night Vision EOTECH CLIP ON THERMALS ( Full details)

    it seems as that the secret sauce for most good clipon’s is the eyepiece. Maybe the designers found that the easiest way to good functionality was the larger screen. Designing optical paths surely is a pain in the ass, and very expensive. I guess the saying “if it’s stupid but it works - it...
