    Rifle Scopes Why Small Dots Suck.

    I like the way big dots and big front sights feel when I'm shooting fast, but the clock says that i'm just as fast with small dots, and I usually shoot better groups with small dots too. End of the convo for me personally.

    Night Vision Both eyes open night shooting?

    The point of the coti isn't to resolve your target, the point is to detect it. Detection and identification are two separate parts of a kill chain. The vague blob on full thermal is successful detection and you maintain 40 degrees of binocular fov which is a big deal. How sure are you that deer...

    That’s why I’m advocating a high capacity semi auto pistol (Glock 40). Unless you’re killing all grizzly bears that come within 30m of you (very well might be the right answer, I have no frame of reference), if it’s going to end up on top of you, it’s gonna be hard to get your rifle in the...

    I don't know much about bear attacks but if you shoot one at night at 25m+, to me, it doesn't sound like self defense. In a scenario where you are defending yourself, it seems to me that the bear has a high likelihood of being on top of you in which case you won't be able to shoot it with a...

    The more surefire answer for bear might be a glock 40

    This is what dynamic recoil management with acceptable accuracy looks like with a rifle/carbine. They're all slightly different based on the position they're moving in or out of with some common elements. If you have a tall red dot mount, it should look really similar under nvg.

    It really doesn't matter, and there's reason to go back and forth which is why things like the invg and new noisefighter x14 are neat to me. Sometimes after 5 hours of doing all the work, it's relieving to switch eyes. If you want to aim with your red dot without a white light you need to live...

    Aimpoints are completely fine. It works better if you have a good illuminator on your gun. If you're gonna be just using the nox to scan with and won't depend on it for shooting, i'd head mount it. Lasers usually hug the bore so it's still good to activate it to understand if something hard is...

    Night Vision Both eyes open night shooting?

    You cant the rifle so that your offset optic is now in line to being perpendicular with gravity and therefore a rifle optic mounted sufficiently forward will be out of the way To me your riser height and how far back your thermal is, it does not look conducive to being fast/accurate for close...

    There's nothing wrong with risers. I mount a .5'' under my reap. I would be more concerned about the horizontal offset from the bore, but it might not matter depending on how you zeroed it, especially at close range. I recommend just buying a 1/2'' or 5/8th riser from adm or whatever and...

    Night Vision New Genesis Thermal line for "poors"

    I'm interested in the o55, and would love to see what a pig sized thing looks like at 500 yds on 8 x. What's the price on the o55?

    Could you have him share with us his cleaning regimen? Just curious what it looks like since everyone's got their own kind of snake oil for cleaning and clearly he's doing something right.

    Night Vision Rambling what would you do thread

    If you don't have long sightlines, I'd get another 18 and go for bino head mount for detection, and then magnifier + pvs14 + IR for PID

    Magnifier induced POI shift

    I think all Romeo 4's are compatible with t1 footprint mounts? I'd ditch the sig QD and get a geissele 1.93

    Magnifier induced POI shift

    Yeah man, you’re the only guy here that’s been issued aimpoints/eotechs/magnifiers for war /sarcasm This is a known issue with magnifier/rds combos. It’s in military publications and tacsops. You’re ignorant. Empirical info is definitely on whatever portal your plugged into. You said it...

    Magnifier induced POI shift

    It looks like there's a 4 minute difference between the magnifier on and magnifier off. A 4 minute shift actually isn't that bad. It could be much worse with other magnifier/optic combos. I'd zero with the magnifier at 200 or 250, and just know that if you shoot unmagnified you'll be zeroed at...
