What’s best thermal?

looking at pulsar thermion xp50lrf?

pulsar trail xp50lrf?

ifiray Rh50?

any pros and cons??

 

thanks 

I have one of the new Thermion 2 Pro LRF XP50 

I like it lots , performance is brilliant but , for me it’s got to fit into traditional mounts and have a similar feel  to a day scope , I also have mine in a Innomount QR as I swap them around depending on what rifle/calibre I intend to use. so for the time being I will stick to  my Pulsar . If it’s what I call a “ pard type mounting  I have no interest personally and I don’t care who made them or how good they , that was the one big pain in my @Rse with the Drone when they came out , I hated mine with a passion in the end ha ha . 

Finding the right thermal can be a bit of a nightmare, I’ve owned 4 different types . 
i currently have Thermion 2 Pro LRF XP50  / Helion pro XP50  and am very happy . so if you want any info on those particular thermals I will help in anyway I can on the information front of things . 

but one of the things I learned . And gets so overlooked when  choosing the the right type of thermal 

Look at the typical layout of your land if yours is  like where I live and you only have about 3 hills in the entire county then you  want to be looking at the best you can get for the very top end of your budget  for shooting and scanning over those big fields .

if all you have is rolling countryside and hills and houses and all sorts of other crap in the way , end result being shorter distances 100/200 max then most of the brands higher spec  models should do the job . 

you really need to be trying a few of what your like 
If possible of course. 

Quite a few horror stories going about , 

BR primers will,cost you around the £15 per /100 

this has been discussed for over a month on SD

You’ll regret selling that😉

Your not wrong 😑 

Walther Stainless. 
no more accurate than the Sassen but the  walther will be bulletproof and will last you a longtime. 
 

Make sure you get the wind shield for it as well . 
Forget that ………..small breeze break comes as standard. 

I would drop Adam a quick mail to find out waiting times , as you may have to wait a while if he’s busy .

Hey RIchie

Just bought some Lapua scenar s in 77grain weight , anyone got any experience of these in 223 . Cheers 

Very good if you have a 1-7 twist. If you have 1-8 it’s touch and go , your just have to give them a go . I would obviously recommend for paper/steel targets and they will NOT expand at all , there a tough bullet for sure . 

Just wondering if anyone has bought one ? 

For a good long while now the main gripe people had with the Thermions was no LFR , so like I say just wondering who’s pulled the trigger on one now that option is available . 
If you have what’s your verdict?

Bargain .

 I'm sure others are heartily sick of this ranting foolishness.

 

 

Not yet 😂 

Well this thread finally got interesting 🧐 

I see Sako have finished chambering rifles in .204 

I have seen it twice at two different events and there were both banned immediately, but it’s always too late after it’s happened . I watched one chap actually opening his bolt  with a rubber mallet . He was gone inside 2 mins . But as I say it’s always too late after it’s happened.

I think they get the firer to shoot them through the chrono whilst they are there, otherwise they'd ned all manner of firearms to use.

The NRA is an RFD so they could be acting as servants.

Having spoken to someone who used to shoot F class, he said there are some who put the HME boundaries all the time.

In practical pistol back in the 80's/90's competitors were  'dope tested' during the comps, at random, to check their ammo complied with their claimed 'Major' factor classification.

 

 

they have been doing this at large CPSA events and championships for years , its about time the rest caught up . 

I for one am fed up with being stuck next to some 🐓sucker who does not understand the boundaries of there homeloads/calibre  .bring it on I say 👍

Thetford CGR/ ETR are non HME ranges with a maximum  energy limit of 4500 joules. The RSOs permit calibres up to 308/7.62 including .303 and have been in effect for a number of years. One Landmarc range warden has previously indicated ..303 was excluded under the RSOs but that was quickly resolved. 

Barton Road Is a 7000 joule HME range. The RSOs do not have a calibre limit other than specifically prohibiting the civilian use of 338. 7.92mm may be used on this range, i will caveat this by saying I have not run Barton as a RCO for a few months, but I have not had seen any revised RSOs which revise the above. 

👍👍

I will ask some questions on my next range day , our club sec is a very clued up good egg of a chap . 
 

Pops , I can remember us all being told that any  7.92 Mauser shooters to leave them at home as they will not be allowed to use them , AFAIK it’s the same for Barton road . 

last range was Thetford  in Jan 2022  

last few ranges I've had we were told buy  landmarc upto .308 was the largest we can use .
