The XL50 is stepping up to a whole new level. Fantastic FOV. Ultra high resolution. Super jealous. :) Can't wait to see some pesting video's.

Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24x

Would it make sense to use one of the scope cam setups with a traditional glass optic to resolve your issues? Something like what Ted is using in this video- It's a scope cam with blue tooth attached to a digital device like a phone or tablet. ETA- camera details at 7 min 43 second mark in...

TNC225 1024x768 NV & 256 thermal is low resolution. It should be affordable. What is the FOV in either degrees or feet?

I have a PARD 008 LRF, a PARD 008sLRF, the new PARD 4k Night Stalker and a Pulsar C50.

I am a dedicated scope guy and have never used any of the clip-ons. That said, PARD has a clip on model that goes on the front of the scope. It's the only NV clip-on that I've considered because of the issues you've mentioned. Unfortunately the rifle/scope candidate for an FD1 addition didn't...

Isn't the Arken just a low resolution (256 thermal) PARD with a trade name slapped on it? Who is making the Arken? PARD already has the TD32 available on their website with a compact model (similar to the Arken} coming soon...likely around the time the Arken will be available.

@djtl1218 Those are extremes that one scope will have a difficult time covering. Which 4k Pro did you get? Which illuminator are you using? Can you see a coyote well enough to shoot at 4-500 yards with your setup? Honestly haven't pushed the NV past 250. However the thermals easily pick...

ATN and Bering Optics both have a lot of reported issues and at the same time a dedicated group of fanboys. If you get a good unit it'll likely be problem free. Kind of like buying a Union made auto...just hope it wasn't produced after lunch or on a Friday. I came very close to buying ATN...

@Nomadic Pirate 66 Yes, that sharp edge on the Crow Magnum is what I like. I like your idea flattening the tip on the EunJin. I believe those are made of a much harder alloy as they feel a bit crunchy when running them into the FX. It feels like they need some extra lubricant.

Have seen raccoons do the same in reverse. Use the attic for having babies then rip a hole through the roofing to vacate. Originally accessed the attic through the hollow columns supporting the front porch.

Nothing like the WHACK of a Crow Magnum making contact. I'd line up for a heavy weight version with the hollow point filled in flat. Or have the front extended and get into the 34+ gr. range with a true semi wadcutter stepped profile. ETA- until then the Crow Magnum is my go to pellet for...

@phoenix_cow Many thanks for that bit on adjusting the LRF box. Found myself searching for your post this morning. youtube.com/watch?v=iidgsXDbOBc&t=22s What a great video tutorial!

ATN has a separately sold lfr with ballistic calculator that pairs with the scope.

@djtl1218 NV and thermal both have strengths and weaknesses. NV pluses- Cheaper. Easy to identify the target once spotted. Easy to see obstructions. negatives- Harder to spot the target. Moving targets are more difficult to stay on and tend to pop in and out of view. Follow up shots on...
