You guys are the best! I’ve been watching you guys for 2 years and I’m glad I saved up and spent my money with you. You are a big help!
Thank you so much! We really appreciate your business!!
black repair circles for shoot and see splatter targets on a white paper background is perfect. Binos or spotting scope to dial in. if there is any sun behind your back the stickies show up fantastic.
Great ideas! Thanks for watching...
Just zero’d my scope today. Used hot hands and also some hvac tape. Both work very well
Good deal!
Y to the sky helps me remember y is vertical adjustment
That’s awesome… thanks!
Ice Cubes with a cardboard back ground works great. Plus you get a nice Thermal Painting.
Good idea... Thanks for watching
I ordered a RIX L6 from Outdoor Legacy after I spoke with Hans (yes they do talk to you!) and I had it 23 hours later.
Thank you so much! We really appreciate you... - Hans
I use black spray paint on cardboard. If I shoot in the afternoon, the sun is at my back. The black (may work with any dark colored paint) paint heats up in the sunlight and shows up great in my thermal. I save the larger amazon/ups/fedex boxes for targets.
The black spray paint is a great idea! Thanks for watching...
I zero at night using a steel target and a small piece of reflective tape at 50 yards then 100 yards.
I spray paint the target black which works better than white.
First I bore sight the thermal using a small piece of reflective tape placed on the center of the steel target. I remove the bolt and use the flashlight to find and center the target through the bore. I match my thermal adjustments (x/y) with the bore sight picture. This gets me on target and I zero from there.
All very good ideas! Thanks for sharing...
Tips on beginning to zero when your rifle has a 20 moa base built in?
Start at 25 yards dead on or 1” low will get you close at 100 yard. I use pulsar 2” thermal targets.
You might need to start at 10 or 20 yards and make reticle adjustments to make sure that you are on paper.. .then start backing up from there. Thanks for watching...
If you have a laser bore sighter, aim it at a thermal contrasting target - I have used the aluminum caps on chain link posts and even an electric meter face on a nearby shop as aiming points(gun unloaded of course) for bore sighting newly mounted scopes, both conventional and digital, and you can adjust your reticle to come to that point, then fine tune at the range.
Can you show a thermal inside the woods? Would like to see what it looks like in woods instead of a field
It looks like what you’d expect…obviously you can’t see near as far and it really all depends on how thick the woods are. If it’s wide open like a park you will see further than if it’s all brush. You would definitely want a 1x base magnification scope if you were truly in thick woods or brush. If you were looking down log roads or trails then a 1.5x or 2x might be ok. We hope this helps a little. Thanks for watching.
Biggest myth IMO is the “1 shot zero”…….its NEVER 1 shot and zero in my experience.
Very true! Thanks for watching...
