OSOK Posted November 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 After spending a few months with the 15x Drone now I've come to love the unit and feel I can pass on some thoughts to others that maybe thinking of getting the same . After using my PVS-14 you realise that the Image through the Drone is not as clean which I'm guessing is to be expected in Tube v Digital but still good . I've now got a good selection in IR's ..... Dragonfly , TR67 , N1000 etc and I've found the Dragonfly has the edge in distance and has a cleaner light than the N1000 . The only downside to the Dragonfly is that at closer ranges out to 150 yards it can be too bright and cause a 'whiteout' effect so having it setup on the rempol bipod and having another IR fixed on the Drone for shorter range seems to work fine . Moving on to the Drone , The only issue I've had with the 15x is FOV and picking up the fox quickly which by changing the routine has helped alot . From spotting the fox in the thermal and then lining up the rifle on the truck roof before putting the thermal down works 90% of the time depending on how far the fox is away etc . I've shot 26 foxes since starting with the Drone and would there have been any that I couldn't have shot using the 10x , Maybe the odd one perhaps or Maybe not ??? I feel anyone using the Drone 15x walking or out of a truck window may struggle and the 10x a better option but would i swap mine for the 10x .... I don't think so as the 15x suits my needs and where i shoot it from etc . My love of the Drone is probably helped by the round i use with it , The 55g Nosler B/Tip doing over 4,500 ft/sec means that only using the centre cross hair of the Drone I'm 1.5 Inches low at both 50 yards & 340 yards with a high point around 210 yards of just over an Inch ! I hope this helps OSOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Greg, Great honest review, Starlight were supposed to be manufacturing an adjustable switch for the Dragonfly, but that was a while back and I'm not sure if it ever materialised, which may help you. Is that with the Middlestead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSOK Posted November 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hi , No not the Middlestead but a 6mm WSM . I have contacted Starlight regarding the tail switch and he said that he'd agreed with the company in China to start production but we'll see .
