Any idea what front cap would replace the junk one they send from the factory? I ordered a rear 0-32 per your recommendation.
You can review the thread here if you likeSo I had a couple extra vortex defender caps....
Just so happens that the 56 objective defender cap will stretch over the front end of my LR!! It actually seems to be working really well... Looks half dumb... But works great!
I'm even trying a eye piece defender and using a zip tie for the ocular end as well
I'll report back after I get a couple nights on it
@TheHorta the 56 vortex defender works rather well actually. This was a post I made in another thread

Night Vision - Looking for N-vision halo LR lense cover
Hey guys I broke the other day my front lense cover. the plastic is really brittle and beingit super cold made it even more brittle it broke right at the hinge. Looking for better solution than the original they want $25.00 for a new one and before I buy it I wanted to check what’s the solution...www.snipershide.com
Tried it this evening and nadaDoes anyone else's HALO LR get statically for a split second when you dry fire your gun?

Bumped into a kitty the other evening as we were driving back to the trucks. We had stopped to take one last look down a long sendero and we spotted something low to the ground and moving way too rapidly to be a pig. The grass was waist high so all you could see was flashes of it as it worked through the grass. I didn't have time to laser it, but I'd say it was out at around 250 yards and moving quartering towards us. It was moving in the direction of the ranch gravel road so without time to grab tripods we took a rest on the 1/2 windshield and held at the gravel road waiting for it to cross. As soon as it broke from the grass it was plain as day that it was a large bobcat. The road is only about 10' wide so as soon as it broken into the open I let a round loose, my partner let a round loose just a fraction of a second behind me. The cat spun like a top into the waist high grass and I put a third security shot into it while it flopped around. I would say total time from wtf is that to hammer down was no more than 10-12 seconds. If we wouldn't have had the units up and running in the range no way we'd have been able to get on her quick enough.

Overall this unit just keeps crushing it and I have zero complaints other at @Max_R not releasing a helmet mountable for me to use yet. Be pretttttttyyyyy cool to give money to NV instead of China.....
Love your reports, but hate that you schwacked a cat. Those things are fuckng majestic. Unless they present a clear and present danger, I leave them be. Same reason I won’t schwack a hawk when they take one of our chickens. Poultry can be easily replaced. Hawks can’t.
They have a big pond with ducks, geese and a very large chicken coop. Several years ago he was getting hit pretty hard and adopted a scorched earth policy against predators. On the total opposite end of the spectrum I have another place I hunt where they don’t want any predators shot, but want all the possums nuked. Something to do with a disease that can be given to horses. Another place wants the raccoons shot, but not the possums because they eat bugs.You guys are not alone in that.
Landowners choice.
Is that little for a female bob? I could count the number of cats I’ve shot on one hand, I figured she was about average for costal Texas area.Don't you guys have full sized predatos?
It's actually a nice sized bobcat. It's just a small predator.Is that little for a female bob? I could count the number of cats I’ve shot on one hand, I figured she was about average for costal Texas area.
Rumor has it they are in the area, but I’ve never personally seen on and we have a camera on a gut pile for funzies.It's actually a nice sized bobcat. It's just a small predator.
Bobcats are pretty cute, but they can be destructive. Do you guys have mountain lions down there?

Consider your self lucky. Hard to believe the 10 cent scope cap they put on made it through. the first drop.Took a new job a few month ago/ bought a house on some acreage and just been generally busy af, but I’m still hammering away with the LR. Nothing of note until last night. I went out in the shittiest conditions for thermal I’ve ever been in. 65 and mist/ fog so thick I had to drive 10-15 mph under the speed limit.
Exhibit A- light bar on the ranger on

I pulled up to the first pasture and despite all the bs weather I was able to spot a little group of pigs 400 yards or so away. Now it’s the only time I’ve had my CE at 3 and gamma on 2, but it was working. White hot worked the best, I normally run black hot...go figure

The 18” grendel put it on em, but not any harder than the 12” grendel.
I’ve had the unit out a lot, it’s been dropped, rained on, loaned out on and on and on, it just keep performing. If any LR owners just have to have the new LRX I’ll take the outdated LR off your hands.
Ya I've heard people bitch about breaking them, hasn't stuck me yet.Consider your self lucky. Hard to believe the 10 cent scope cap they put on made it through. the first drop.
I wished it worked as a clip on, to my knowledge it doesn't work as a clip on.Just found this thread and have been researching, asking and looking into the Halo-LR as my first ever night vision. Does anyone ever use it in clip-on mode? Is it decent for that, or better to just use as a stand-alone optic? Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences.....it's making my decision easier for sure.
Halo-LR does not work as a clip-on.
dooooooo post results!Although, that said, as long as you used the Halo reticle, you *could* run it in front of a day optic. I’m going to put it in front of an Elcan just for S&G’s.
If you could get the scope to focus through the eyepiece you could just dial the offset and use your reticle I guess..Although, that said, as long as you used the Halo reticle, you *could* run it in front of a day optic. I’m going to put it in front of an Elcan just for S&G’s.
Strictly speaking, this configuration, while not impossible, does not fit a conventional definition of a "clip-on" It is more analogous to a magnifier behind a collimator/holographic sight.Although, that said, as long as you used the Halo reticle, you *could* run it in front of a day optic. I’m going to put it in front of an Elcan just for S&G’s.
That disease is called EPM, Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis. It is a shitty way to go for an equine!! I've seen what it does first hand, not cool at all and I can understand why they want to get rid of them.They have a big pond with ducks, geese and a very large chicken coop.

Whatever the rancher wants, so long as it’s legal, is what I’ll be doing. I’m a guest on their property and I consider myself lucky to have string together enough ranches to ride for 4-5 hours a night in the ranger and never see the same area twice. Personally on our place and family land we lower the boom on yotes, but everything else gets a pass, including pigs if they act civilized and stay near the feeders so the little kids in the family can T off on them from the deer blinds.
