I have been using a Primary Arms 1-6x24 ACSS Raptor for my 300blk. The spots I am hunting are all 200 yards and in. The 3 deer I have taken this season have all been between 80 and 125 yards.
Saw one review of this that turned me off. You have to use the ocular on your scope to focus the camera. That a huge flaw, unless you have perfect vision, you and the camera can’t be in focus at the same time.
It did seem like you have go get really close to the camera and the scope to get get a clear view , right? Cause I saw the recoil came back and hit you in the face ! Glad you wore eyes protective wear .
I have a few different options that I use as scope cams these days but I've been looking at this option. My question is probably the biggest issue I've run into with scope cameras, how's the low light capabilities of the camera? Most times my shots are in low light situations and the other cameras I have aside from my night vision optics all end up getting super grainy and over exposed.
I should run some comparisons. It's certainly better than a GoPro. Overall I'm impressed by its low- light performance. The buck footage at the beginning of this video was taken at dusk under heavy cloud cover. It was actually sleeting at the time.
Thanks, Angler! This is the CMMG Resolute. No issues with it aside from subsonic feeding. That's standard, though. I think a rifle needs a pistol-length gas system to reliably cycle the subsonics.
Depending on eye relief, you might not see the whole image. Use the app on your phone or tablet to get a live view of what the camera sees. You'll need to move the camera forward and backward to try to nail the right spot. It's easiest with low- power scopes.
I also wondered about this and also if scope bite is an issue. It almost looks like the cam adapter is resting on the brow. I'm curious if a heavy kicking cartridge would possibly result in a cut. I seem to remember a past hunting video where this happened.
It cuts down eye relief by about 1.5 inches, and yes, it increases the chances of scope bite quite a bit. Those two deer shots were with 6.8 Western, a proper magnum cartridge, and I remembered to brace up properly for the first shot. No problems. I forgot to brace for the buck, and I punched myself hard. You can see the blood on my face in the thumbnail.
Man Im glad you had this video. I really want to get something like this to show on some of my 22lr vidoes. Thanks for sharing buddy.
It can be a little finicky to set up, but I like it.
@SocialRegressive Yeah Im gonna have to try one. I need something to try an get my channel growing again ha ha. Thanks buddy

Very cool! I’ve wondered how exactly that worked. The more you know…
What a great video... Appreciate the very informative content...
Thank you 😊
Once again great review
Keep going 👍
Thanks, Justice!
Good review bud

That's a good point. I find I have to fiddle with it a little.
Nice video. Can the camera be on the other side so if you have a bolt action it's on the left side of the rifle (out of the way)?
Great question. Yes. The camera can be mounted at any angle, even right over the top of the scope.

It helps to have a long eye relief. Part of this test, though was a slightly awkward angle. It's better in a standing position.

Nice video. What's the green rifle you have in the video? Cmmg?

Awesome! Thanks for the reply. Will check those out
Why won’t my FTS let me see the whole scope in playback? I see it when I’m shooting but not when I play it back?

How does having the cam attached affect your eye relief/eye box?

Good information. My spendable income is Hampered by the governments inflation policies. I’ll remember this unit for some time though.
I'm with you there. We live in stupid times.
