1.21 GigawattsWhat are you guys finding to be the best power range scope for the ELR?
3.5x or less on the bottom so you don't lose FOV and 18+ on the topWhat are you guys finding to be the best power range scope for the ELR?
How do I get my hands on some ELR caps? thanksOK, I've got four people confirmed for ELR caps, JoeZ, RoboZebra, Conqueror and JGRJR. Anyone I'm missing? Did anyone with an LR get a measurement of the objective?
I'm working on printing some up, I'll make a post when they are shipping.How do I get my hands on some ELR caps? thanks
Can you make mine from the neutronium in a dwarf star?I'm working on printing some up, I'll make a post when they are shipping.
I don’t care. I want my Neutronium to come from a Dwarf. Preferrably a Black Dwarf.Dude, you're not going to find neutronium in a White Dwarf. The Pauli Exclusion Principal tells us that electrons don't like to rub up against each other, so they push back and hold up the exposed core of a dead star (aka a White Dwarf).
For neutronium you need a higher mass star, preferably from an O-type, that goes supernova. In that case, the core is much denser and higher mass, so that those electrons can't push back hard enough and gravity crushes them into the protons found in the nucleus. And what happens when negatively charged electrons get smashed into positively charged protons? They form neutrons and this case that giant ball of neutrons is held up by Neutron Degeneracy Pressure. There's also some mind bending stuff happening in Momentum Space...

Tastes good, too!I want some Hortonium. It smells like pee but it lets you see in the dark.
You gotta be a high roller to get that.I want some Hortonium. It smells like pee but it lets you see in the dark.
I want some straight out the tapYou gotta be a high roller to get that.
They’re having teething pains. Their support really isn’t setup yet to handle these things efficiently. It’ll get there, but early adopters are going to be a bit frustrated until it gets sorted.Has anyone dealt with Eotech customer service regarding these units? Looking to see if my experience so far is typical. Sent my thermal to them two months ago for them to check out why its collimation is so off and for two months they just give me the run around saying a replacement unit will ship out any day.
Teething and seeing pains can be overcome.They’re having teething pains
And I thought the horror stories with ATN products were bad.Now they’re telling me I am not getting a replacement and that it will be shipped to Greece for repairs. Two months in and they are just now sending it off. At this pace I am just hoping to get it back this calendar year…
If that is the case, maybe they could institute a "Loaner Program" whereby they have a dedicated "fleet" of units they could loan out to customers to use while their units are on the slow boat for repairs.They will serve as a “US service center” for Theon but I imagine any serious fixes will have to be shipped to Greece.
But I think the only difference between the LR and xELR is just the lens size put on the front.I think this has more to do with the xELR than anything. There just weren’t many to begin with and they’re out of production. Any other unit would likely be handled directly.

Everything else should be the same, I think.
Make America Great Again.Eotech hasn’t duplicated Theon’s entire manufacturing operation here in the US
Thank you for this. I gotta put you on the spot here…EOTech ELR for $14K.
Used UTC-X for $12K
Voodoo-M for $20K
After that, things drop off precipitously.
TigIR-6Z / EO LR are solid choices.
I went from an XRF to a Super Yoter Clip On to an X-ELR for the exact same purpose. I've killed about 20 in the 400yd range this year with very few misses. Several more past 500 at around 50% hit rate. Beyond that and I'm limited by the gun, not the thermal.Thank you for this. I gotta put you on the spot here…
At the two prices listed above, which one would you pick the TIG or the LR?
Agreed on the pixels/degFoV. I’ve used it as a metric to compare optical zoom capability in the clipon options out there. A partial screengrab of a spreadsheet I try to fill in whenever a new unit is getting talked about to help place it in my mind for different applications and which units it may be similar to. The “potential zoom” is all proportional based on me feeling like 5x is the top end on the voodoo-sI've been comparing thermals lately and in an attempt to quantify the differences I've compiled some data. There are clear patterns of pixels/degrees FOV. It seems that the long range, high budget devices approach or exceed 100 pix/deg. Medium range, middle budget fall in either the 72 pix/degree or 51 pix/degree, depending on if you prefer a larger FOV or not. You can see my rough estimations in the attached picture.
This pattern also held true for the new armasight thermals that I've been considering, their 640 4.8-19.2x was 109 pix/deg, 3-12x was 72 pix/deg. The 320 6-24x was 72 pix/deg and 320 3-12x was 36 pix/deg. All at base mags
I'm betting the threshold for bad image quality is around the 12-24 pix/degree mark. My only experience with thermals is an ATN 384 1.25-5x which comes to 24 pix/deg at 1.25, which is pretty much useless beyond 50-100 years and anywhere past 2.5x digital zoom.
Yep, super tight FoV with the native 6x opticThat's some Fan-cee Ciphering JW. Good stuff.
Throw a Flir PTS 736 in that spreadsheet. It will surprise you where it rates.
