Night Vision Iray hybrid 75

[Rocklong]

Just wondering if anyone has had one these and put it to the test. I’ve had one for a few months now and have used it a lot.
The problem I’m having is that the zero is shifting all over the place. I hope it’s just mine and not a real problem. I went to check the zero again today and it was 2” low and 1 1/2” left so I rezeroed it. I went back 2 hrs later and it was 2” high. Been fighting this for a couple months now. Hard to trust beyond 150ish yards and it’s supposed to be for longer range hunting. Besides that it’s probably the best image quality of any thermal I’ve used and I’ve pretty much had all the top companies top tier scopes. This thing could be a real winner if they figure this zero shift out.

Is this as a clip-on or standalone?

 

[Rocklong]

Both but pretty much a stand alone

Weird that you zeroed it, then it shifted down 2”, then you rezeroed it, then it shifted up 2”. Sounds like it went back to earlier zero.

ETA: Not 100% sure, but standalone reticle zero and clipon “collimation” should be two entirely different things. Standalone should shift only reticle where clipon should shift the whole display image.

Also, thanks for cutting your teeth on this for us. I’ve been seriously thinking about snagging one, but will wait until we have more reports from users in the wild and any kinks are ironed out.

I set it up recording on a tripod pointing at a 1” piece of tin foil a while back and in 3 1/2 hrs the crosshairs moved down and right about 1 1/2”-2” then back almost to center and then to the bottom left corner of the foil. This was completely stationary with nothing touching it. Then about 2 weeks later I did the same test for 5 hrs and it never moved at all. Kinda weird

Headed out now to clean up some yotes for a guy calving hopefully it don’t let me down.

Do the reticle coordinates stay the same when noticing the shift? I follow a couple of thermal groups on FB and there have been quite a few guys with the Hybrid 75 and this is the first I’ve heard of a wandering zero.

If it were my scope, I’d send to Iray to get it sorted out. I’ve been eyeing one of these for a bit now, but the MK1 640 keeps going strong. Maybe I’ll make the jump later this year.

 

[Rocklong]

yes there always where I last set them when I zeroed.

 

[DetroitRearView]

mine has been very consistent without wandering at all. I do, however induce shooter’s error on occasion!!!

fantastic optic

 

[Rocklong]

Yeah I think I may have just got a bad one. It might stay zeroed for two weeks then be off by 2-3”. It should be getting back to iray today.

 

[Rocklong]

Sent it back to iray and they said they brushed it and updated the firmware so I guess we will see

 

[Rocklong]

Must have worked. Seems to be holding just fine now

How far can you recognize yotes with it?

 

[Rocklong]

I’ve used thermal a lot but I could recognize yotes at 7-800 yards with it

This pic is about 200 yards. It’s clearer in the scope than the pic. I have it posted for sale if your interested
