Ok weighing in at a whoppin 11 lbs now, here is the tx night shooter.. Its .22 cal and is one of my most accurate weapons so it got elected first to recieve the NIGHT SCOPE. It is a little on the heavy side but all the shooting will be done from a rest in a blind. Getting it there may require a forklift tho.. The optics are so clear and precise that there is not much hope for any critters that get spotted.. In full moon i do not need the ir illuminator on top. i can take it off for those hunts.. If there is no ambiant light [ kinda like not seeing your hand in front of your face] It needs to be on. Its infra red and does not bother the critters tho.. Man I wish the sun would go down....:)

All ready for Night Patrol Randall, sharp setup bud and a little extra heft is good for you hehehe. The price we pay to see in the dark, I'm going in next week to get cat eye implants lol. Ed

thanks guys, its cool!!!!!
tonight is the first time i have tried it..
here is a pic of the total darkness shots i was making to sight it in..
the low ones in the tree were the first so I gave it a few up clicks to get it lined up. then the ones on the left were shot to confirm poi.. i moved it too far right and hit the holes on the right.. so I moved it a few clicks left and was able to put the last 8 rounds in the 1.5 inch bulls eye..
This was done at 22 yds. first time.. I am positive that with a little more use i can move those holes into a 1/2 inch circle, then 1 hole em in the dark.....
I smell a varmit with 3 eyes..:)

...and the award for most unqiue shooter goes to...
DUDE! That thing is bad-ass! Thanks for the call this morning- I haven't been on much this last week due to being on vacation in California. That's one sweet shooter you got there, broh. Guess you've got your work cut-out for you, eh? Randall, we've gotta hang-out at some point... it would just be too much fun!
Have a great day today, I gotta get on these phones!

Wow that's some serious equipment Randall!! A bit on the heavy side but hopefully you 'll get used to it.
