The image of both mentioned arent in the same league as the Hogster and the Hogster does have a manual focus, color reticles and backgrounds, and a 4 year warranty.For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding.
I went to zero it in today with my AR-10 and it didnt even come close to holding a zero 50 yards. ![]() I went and try zeroing again this time I put the thermal on my 300 BO and got the same results. I went through the manual to make sure that all the settings where right, they were. Im pretty upset that I spent all this money and it doesnt work. Is there anything you can think of to fix this list of things I checked - Checked all the settings to be sure they were correct - I loaded the newest firmware (no I didnt crash the sight) - I made sure I selected the right sight in the settings menu - Went through youtube for answers and didnt find much - mounts being too loose. Id recommend a FLIR PTS233, IMO its the best thing out there right now for an entry level thermal sight. I sent mine back. ![]() I wouldnt use one as a clip on but as a dedicated weapon sight they are really nice. The patrol line is good as a handheldhead mount but Id probably opt for the old Q14 640 instead as its form factor is much nicer (and it doubles as a short range weapon sight). I am an electrical engineer and when the first ATN Thor HD I bought just suddenly stopped working I figured as much. I removed the screws and sure enough it had a loose solder joint, quick fix. Also, the Thor LT is highly modifiable if you want to get a budget Thermal. The most expensive parts on thermal scopes hands down are the lenses, you cant find a used one (just one) on eBay made out of Germanium for less than 300. So I did a little digging and found that ZnSe lenses for C02 laser cutters pass the same wavelength of light as Germanium, and they are 20-40 on Amazon. Just remove the ring holding the old lens, get your focal length adjusted and youve got a much better, clearer image that rivals scopes over 4000. Since they are digital it doesnt matter about purging it out with some noble gas either. Ive also modified them for much further telephoto capabilities using combinations of ZnSe lenses) I just posted some pics of a ThOR LT I modified with ZnSe lenses. The graphics processor can handle the larger images its just scaled down. At 60Hz refresh rate its good for about 250 yard now on.224 Valkyrie. The other picture is the actual screen, its just a small LCD with a Focus Lens behind it to give the feel of a scope I guess. The PTS233 is no longer manufactured as Flir stepped out of the civilian market for scopes. The best value I have found in the lower end of the thermal market currently is the Hogster 35 from Bering Optics.
