GX CS2 most hours of use.

Trucker3573 nailed it. I have 3 Cx2 compressors at different locations and had a Cs3 and a cs4. I got rid of the 3&4 because they were more than I needed. I only fill guns and for that they can't be beat. I actually gave one to a fellow who bought the cs3 and told him to abuse it. Nine months later he bought my cs3 and returned the cs2. There was some small amount of corrosion in the gauge block and that was it. Of all that I have none have failed and I've had one fully apart to see wear and it was near perfect.

Does anyone know user Tan_k ?

I’ve bought a couple of rifles on the forums and have been very lucky so far.

I recently sent money F and F though PP. I did my investigation into the members profile and cross referenced his phone and address. Older member with a modest amount of posts …. Still you get the uneasy feeling when you hit “pay “”
You just never know. Someone leaving the hobby for good might turn.

Brocock/BRK  Ghost - “if i just had 2 more inches…”

Sweet setup! I didn’t even consider putting the cheek piece on backwards. Which moderator model is that?

PCP Rifle  SOLD WTS AirForce TalonP Carbine + Extras

For sale is an AirForce TalonP Carbine .25 cal. I purchased it new as a blem direct from the AirForce Shop. I purchased it with the intention of experimenting / tuning it along with the Ring Lock Kit and a .20 barrel. The only change I’ve made was install the .20 cal barrel. It was listed as a blem but I can’t see anything wrong with it cosmetically. Item includes the TalonP Carbine in .25 cal, a 12” .20 barrel, fill adapter and Ring Lock Kit. I will also include a tin of .20 JSB 15.9 grain pellets. $400 PayPal’d and Shipped to lower 48, no trades and won’t part out.

Reviewed a couple thermal scanners

I got the chance to view a new brand of thermal last night. Thermtec, I got to see the cyclops d 640 and their 335 units along side a pulsar telos.

Cyclops 640D pro
I’m just going to say the FOV on the 640D is massive on the 20mm (1.1x)setting. Being able to swap to the 40mm (2.2x)setting which does not half your resolution is a good setup on a scanner. It’s an optical zoom so at 1.1 or 2.2 it is 640, I know it’s not the only brand to do this. We were watching deer out to 600 yards. One major plus on this units is the menu layout and all the adjustments(sharpness, contrast, brightness and hue adjustments) The internal screen is pretty good size and distanced right so the eye piece doesn’t cut it off. It has 2 18650 and I was told it could be sent to the service center to be swapped. They have a 3 year warranty and were designed by a guy that actually hunts and has been in the industry for quite a while.


Cyclops 335
This scanner immediately surprised me with the image quality from a 384 resolution unit. I honestly would put it up with some of the lower end 640 units. It has a 3.3x base power, and zoom on it will be digital. It might be the Best Buy in its price range,we still watched deer at 600 yards. It lacks a few features the 640D has but it is also a lot cheaper.

Both have several color palettes, the red hot was one of the best red hot I’ve seen. It really differentiated the animal from the back/foreground. The controls are easy to use and find in the dark so you don’t hit the wrong thing. It uses a joystick in the center with a button on each side. I think it will be easy even with gloves. Both have a focus up front and a diopter to make the screen and image clearer. Now both have an AI range finder, we checked it against a LRF and it was close. We did not try the AI past 250yards but when it was on it constantly showed distance to the deer. I honestly don’t know how it works but I will hopefully get to mess with one again. The phone app ran very smooth and might beat out the infiray app as being one of the best I’ve seen.


Telos
The telos was impressive but it didn’t stand head and shoulders above the others. The control layout will be tougher especially with gloves. The image was good, the zoom has been moved up front( all digital) by the focus. The menus and settings are a lot different from my helion2, I honestly struggled with them a bit. I think if I took the time to relearn all the new menus I would be good. The original stream vision app was ok, hopefully the new stream vision 2 will be better. This unit uses a proprietary pulsar battery but the user can replace it or carry 2. It does come in a LRF model which I’m hoping to checkout next.

I’m hoping to get to look at more products/ brands but so far these have been my favorites.
My helion 2 was fantastic it has gone to my dad so I’m on the hunt for a new scanner.


I got to see these at night vision specialists, the owner is a pretty good guy. His site is www.nightvisionspecialists.com

These are just my opinions and observations, everyone’s eyes are different.

N/A  Range Change

The shanty takes about five minutes to setup and take down. It is only a foot wide and half a sheet of plywood long when folded up. I will take more pics this weekend.

We also use an "indoor rated" propane heater to avoid carbon monoxide.

I’d be interested.
