Nope, but a regular visitor from across the Tasman.

Agree...I notice my Chrony readings start to go weird as the battery fades. Sort of related is this new gadget supposedly coming out this year. It advertises a 0.1% error reading which beats the 5% standard hands down. Looks like you can set it up beside you and get a reading for every shot you fire...

Nice one! Sounds like it's all sorted. You reload? Because if you don't then getting 300BLK ammo at cheapish prices will be a headache. Plus you get to tune the ammo for your system. Give us a hoi of you want some loads using ADI powders, which you won't find on this website. Hogdens rebrands ADI un...

Don't think I have the experience of gds but can add a little here. I am stuck with needing bullets of at least 210gr because of a 16" barrel, carbine-length gas. Nothing lighter that is subsonic will cycle reliably. I have tested the following; 210 Hybrid (no tumbling) 220RN Hornady and Sierra...

Put them one in front of the other and shoot over both. Compare the two readings.

Cheers...do you have a shop/website?

Thanks, interesting.

What do you use as an illuminator (other than the IR LED in the device)? I was thinking of getting the Laser Designs SPIR because of its focusable ability and high power (600mW).

Shooting with just the PVS14 is often difficult on a dark night or when game is under tree canopy

Where do you purchase these $1K tubes? Is it difficult to upgrade a PVS14 housing with an older non auto-gated tube? I have an older PVS14 with manual gain and have wondered how much of an improvement a newer auto-gate would be. I have heard thin-film auto-gate tubes don't last as long as the earlie...

How so?

Just checked TNVC and Optics Planet. They are the same price they've been for the last ten years.
