Thanks for this, there's a lot of stuff on line about zeroing thermal, but not a lot of shot by shot adjustment advice. Do you swap scopes between thermal and optical, if so, how well does the zero hold from scope to scope.
Thanks. I don’t tend to swap- it will always be close but there will always be a small variance in zero when you remove an optic from a picatinny rail.
The first session in your new range. Looks great, thank you. The sound comes off that roof like a country pistol range, sure keeps you dry though. Cheers.
I've been zeroing thermal for awhile with a square inch of foil...out to 200 yards. It usually works well. However.. sometimes..due to environmentals it doesn't. Scrolling through the colour palate on the day is a wise move to see what gives best image.. A few nights ago I fear I made a bad correction using this approach. I think the image of the foil had glared out to 2 to 3 times it's actual size...scrolling through palates would've probably removed this problem.. After making a bad correction at 200..without checking...😮....I was surprised to find my shots way off, say 7 inches to left.... Took a bit of pondering to try understand what happened...but... thankfully only a few rounds shot. A bigger piece of foil, angled may work at longer ranges...but...be wary of it glaring up to appear bigger than what it is when correcting. I like your heated gong idea....no glare there... Making longer range zeros for varminting I've found to to be handy..
Great vid as normal nathan, you can also use pipe freezing spray, on steel does the same thing as heating the gong,but its good when its hot outside, nathanas a pulsar user myself sice the thermions first came out, my pulsar thermion 2 xq50 lrf, i had problems with it not giving accurate range finding, its absolutely terrible on flat ground ,i made pulsar aware of this,so i cbecked the lazer splash with a normal nightvision scope and was happy to see a VERTICAL lazer beam,my pulsarxq50lrf spotter has a horizontal beam and the top line of the lrf box i just put at my quarry,s feet job done, the easiest way the check where the lrf coincides with the target box, is to come down from above on the ridgeline on a house or barn Hope this may help someone Rgds steve uk Ps waiting fof a nother feature length oig vid!!
Bloody excellent delivery of what can be a black magic activity. Very helpful.
Thanks- I’m glad you found it useful
Any advancement on sound moderators for you people? Should be a game changer for you when and if it happens! Good vid on zeroing. cheers from NZ.
Thanks! No news on suppressors in Qld yet but we are still pushing forward with it.

Happy New Year Nathan.
Happy new year 👌
Cheers mate
Great info there. I would be interested to see a video of the ballistic calculation set up to see if l am doi it right. I am running the XL 50.Cheers
Ill look into doing that- i dont use the ballistic app given the control work I do is all pretty moderate ranges but happy to have a look at it.

Sounds like you are well onto it there. Certainly value in a longer range zero for varmint work.

Ps waiting fof a nother feature length oig vid!!
Pipe freezing spray seems like another good option 👍. Thanks for the LRF info
Never been so early to a video haha
