[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 1031900, member: 81139"] Ok... Took it out this evening to get it sighted in... Dark, but snow on a the ground and 3/4 moon behind the clouds. I put up 4 white targets at 100 yards with a black cross in the center of each... Could not see the crosses, no matter how much I attempted to focus (now... Don't leave yet... Good part is coming). So I took some 6" black targets out and stapled them on the other targets. Went back and low and behold, there they were, easily visible at 100 yards, even without additional IR illumination. Centering up the reticle on target was very easy as the rifle scopes crosshairs were crisp in view. After firing some rounds from both my AR15 and my savage hog hunter, I went out to check my groups. Both shot low and left... even though I confirmed that both rifles were dead on at 100. Now would be the time that I adjusted the pulsar to my crosshair center... and then 1.7" above my POI, but I didn't bring the manual and couldn't remember which setting corrected this (I've since checked it and it's qutie simple). The great thing is that with the dfa75 attached, it kept less than Moa groups with both rifles. poi was low left with each which can be corrected via the menu. There is some shift between the two scopes, with the 40mm being 1.1" low and 1.3" left... and the 50mm scope being 2.5" low and 1.8" left, so I'll need to document the corrections I make in the menu for each rifle and then make the adjustments when I move the scope back and forth, just as I would have to do if I moved one of my rifle scopes between 2 rifles. Here's the best thing. With the rifle unloaded, my brother and I took turns viewing each other at 100 & 200 yards. It was easy to identify each other and we both felt that even without IR, on a night like this with snow down, coyotes out to 200 should be a breeze. I'm impressed so far. Last note: it eats cheap Kirkland batteries pretty fast. The ultra pack they sent are still kicking, but we put in cheap kirkland AAs to see how long they would last and I'm not sure we even got 45 minutes. Might have been closer to 30. I bought some rechargeable 3100mah AAs, so I'll post feed back on their longevity once we get it into the field. So far so good. I'm liking it. Wish standard battery life was longer and glad I bought 12 rechargeable 3100s. My night master xsearcher ships tomorrow morning so I should be able to provide feedback on the unit with an external IR. I'll post target pics once I get back to the range and adjust the windage and elevation settings in the pulsar. [/QUOTE]
