Outside where I'm looking at 25 yards to 200 yards it is great. If going slow and quiet it is nice, but not comfortable in a dark house. Looking across an open area of my house about 40 feet away, I can see about a 5-6 foot wide area. I also want to keep an eye on a large warehouse that has been looted.įield of view as both a scanner and weapon sight is narrow at about 9 degrees. I have total believe that I can take a quick scan of my area and know if people are around. My main concern for getting this is home security, after hurricanes in Florida we have people running around in the night stealing generators and such. Great gun, I shoot just under MOA with Hornady American Gunner using it's 1-8x Vortex Strike Eagle.When I added the thermal, groups opened to about 1.5 MOA. I went to the range twice this weekend and played with just my 6.5 grendel 12.5". Mounting is easy and POI repeatable but I had to choose to either put the rail mount backward to accommodate short SBR hand rails, or forward for my bolt guns with night bridges as you need the thermal as close to the scope as possible. I also much per an illuminated reticle, and like the entire BDC to light up, not just a dot. I am definitely of the less magnification but clearer is best. I like 1-6x( getting about 3x in reality) best on SFP so max magnification BDC is applicable. Higher magnification hurts on FFP scopes because the reticle is so hard to see (I tried a 2.5-10x32). My criteria was to maximize field of view, be able to use it as a scanner or with a rifle and take shots out to 200 yards if I wanted to hunt with it.įirst explaining the scope pairing- I tried it with a bunch of my rifles and found that too much magnification was no good, 1-4x, 1-6x and 1-8x all worked well although understand that because it takes about 2x to fill the scope with the display screen, what you really get is a 1-2x, 1-3x or 1-4x scope respectively.Ī 1-8x is grainy at 8x(getting about 4x in reality) so 1-6x is my sweet spot. I dont have the experience with other units to compare much, but for me I think it was a good choice. As stated, I got my Hogster clip on and am happy with it.
