Sighting I a thermal scope

[Powellvs1]

I'm new here. Does anyone have experience sighting in a thermal imagine scope. I have a Trijicon REAP 2 60 on a Barrett REC 10 AR10 platform.

Might get moved to optics but yes i have a gen1 reap ir. Hot hand warmers are your friend shoot around dusk time and follow the instructions with it. If im not mistaken the adjustment values change with the magnification.

Skip the hand warmers and use ducting tape. (not to be confused with normal duct tape that fixes everything) Its shiny and easy to see in the middle of the day with a thermal.

I use an ice cube in a ziplock bag.

I saw a you tube Target with aluminum reflective tape on cardboard. Looked pretty good good and could be done in the daytime.

Use the aluminum tape but it works best if you tip back the target a bit so it reflects the sky.

That's a good idea

Use a steel target after you heat it up with a propane torch.

Stays hot a long time and east to see hits. Heat it from the rear and the paint on the target isn't scorched or discolored.

Yea that is the simplest way imo. No reason to use hand warmers, a torch, etc. I've never had an issue seeing it.
