Well whats the verdict, she a keeper?

 

[Asm1]

Re: Is it DARK YET ?

Its OK.. We try a few scopes with the PVS24..Its NO RAPTOR..But it is nice to use the day scope and use the dope just like you would without the pvs24..Its a light unit and easy to use..I say its a keeper for a couple weeks who know ?

T55A ACOG 5.5X50 SUCKS..
TA31RCO 4X SUCKS..
ELCAN SPECTER DR 1X-4X KINDA OK..
Leupold MR/T 1.5-5 GEN3 works well 1.5-3..
Leupold MR/T 2.5X8X36 Works well on 2.5-5..

Next time I hope to try a NXS 2.5X10X32..
Took the pics with an I-phone..Moon was 3/4 at least..



LEUPOLD MR/T 2.5-8X36 ON 2.5X Moo Moo 198 yards..

Re: Is it DARK YET ?

franky,

that 24 doesnt look much better than my pvs-14 coupled up or the 14 with the 3x you have shown. suppose it would kick more ass on a bigger objective scope? if i run my 14 behind my uso 10x it is really unbelievable how well it does.

Re: Is it DARK YET ?

Looks to me like, the 2.5-8 is the ticket.

Weapons mounted It smokes the pvs14 when I go past 2.5X the gain is all the way up on the pvs14 and less than half way on the pvs24..Still as you noted the 3x lens on a pvs14 has resalution beyond My PVS24 on the same power,I dont know if a bigger better obj scope will help because the rear lens is smaller than the 36MM OBJ on the leupold You can bet I will try non the less...My PVS14 DATA sheets reads like EXTRA high on all the good numbers this does hel p..

I like the pvs24 better than any scope combo and a PVS14. I have used most of them even the USO 1.8-10 ON 10X was not impresive nor was any day scope I have used and a PVS14 past 2-3 power (IN THE DARK NO MOON WOODS).. not even in the same field a pvs24 A Raptor for clarity and resalution is hard to beet if you want clarity field of view and resalution RAPTOR..I still like the PVS24 Better at this Time.. When the moon goes away I will know where the PVS24 stands in my KIT..

Re: Is it DARK YET ?

Just got back from a field test ...Rain tornadic activity,Fogy BOLTS of lightning ...430 yards nailed the 12"x12" plate with standard day dope...

BAD ASS UNIT !

SPOT sorry... I forgot you wanted that raptor..

 

[edwin907]

Re: Is it DARK YET ?

So what's the useable mag range on this unit?
After using and learning about it, do you still feel it's poor on 4X and 5.5X ACOG? Did you try it with the laser IR illuminator?
I tell you, although bigger heavier for sure, the PVS-22 is fantastic with every ACOG, with the TA11C 3.5X, TA31F 4X, and the TA55 5.5X in my inventory. It also offers useability at up to even 10X on my USO 1.8-10X37 (but is brilliant at 8X) and is still useable at 12X on the MK4 spotter with a laser illuminator.

Thanks for sharing the details, looks like a nice rig!

What scope did you use for the 430 yd shot and at what power?
Did you have any supplemental IR lighting?

Also curious if you've had a chance to try the NF 2.5-10 (or anything else)??

Re: Is it DARK YET ?

600 yards looks doable in the fields away from the city lights 5x maybe 6x...The leupold work much better than the ACOGS or specter DR.. The 1.5-5 got a work out tonight and its good match for 25 yards to 400 maybe longer ?..I have not needed the IR yet..I am sure the PVS22 is better for its aplication,But The PVS24 fits My aplication..I lug my gear and learned the hard way Ounces=POUNDS=PAIN...In no way can this compete with your observations with the PVS22..

Re: Is it DARK YET ?

Around 5x with a MR/T 2.5X8X36 NO IR USED...Will try the NXS 2.5X10X32 soon...

After I let every thing Dry out I used the MR/T 1.5X-5 and its nice on 1.5 I could do running shots easy and at 5x its usable..The moon did POP out half way while testing,,Just sayin,, Its got to wrok in the worst conditions.. the best conditions do me no good it only sets me up for failure when its raining and in the darkwoods.. But it is fun when its bright out.. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: liaisons</div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: ASM1</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Just got back from a field test ...Rain tornadic activity,Fogy BOLTS of lightning ...430 yards nailed the 12"x12" plate with standard day dope...

Sweet setup, good buddy.
It really is a lightweight compact unit and glad to see it works well with the MR/T 1.5-5X.
Have you had a chance to use it with a Nightforce 1-4X, seems like it would be an excellent match.
Did you feel you absolutely needed the illuminated reticle on the Leupold?

Many thanks for the feedback, keep up the good work.

Re: Is it DARK YET ?

EDWIN
Have not used the NXS 1-4 yet will try that tomorrow night ..
I have not even used the ILL. on the MR/T with the PVS24..The 1.5-5 MR/T only comes with ILL..

I was thinking the ACOG and specter DR would be the ticket I never thought the MR/T leupolds would be better.. Now I have ACOGS AND SPECTER DR Socom for sale..

 

[edwin907]

Re: Is it DARK YET ?

Well I'll tell you, the little MR/T is one of the most under rated scopes on the planet. To me, it is simply a little jewel. It seems to get some flack over not going down to a true 1X, but the illumination works well in low light to function in BAC mode quite well.
And in bright sunlight, the reticle stands out so that it works well then also, maybe not as good as a 1.5X ACOG, but close. And it has a terrific 5X.
I am fortunate that I suffer from little phoria, and with practice BAC works great for me, and that's with the TA11C 3.5X (best), TA55 5.5X (2cnd/3rd best), and the TA31 4X (as good as the TA55). I have all three of these ACOGs, never shot any of the others.
Many complain about the short eye relief of the TA31 series, but to me I'm not trying hard enough if the ACOG doesn't bump my shooting glasses now and then.
I am surprised the 24 doesn't work as well with the ACOGs, but that may be more a reflection of how good the MR/T is, than a shortcoming of the ACOGs.
Be looking forward to your observations with the Nightforce, I would expect it to be very good.

EDIT: I finally found this photo, my favorite of the PVS-22, mounted on my Krieger Recon with TA11C!

Can you zoom in with the camera phone? The Leupold MRTs do work really well with the PVS 24. In my opinion the 24 brings clip ons to low power scopes really well. I run one in front of the 2.5 to 8 as well and I LOVE this set up. I am going to try it on a Trijicon TR 24 1 to 4 and I will report on it's success or failure.

Re: Is it DARK YET ?

Let us know how that turns out. the 10X will probably out drive the capabilities of the 24 but it will be interesting to see.
