Thank you for this tutorial. I just picked up my own AGM TS25-384 not long ago. Really wanted a TS35-640 but the difference was astronomical to me for what you got. I’m extremely happy with my TS25-384 thus Far.
I got the 35 640 and honestly i wish i went better. Its great and everything one could expect for a thermal but the clarity in comparison to others at distance isnt amazing. U can see a heat source from 1200 yards but really hard to know what your looking at. Took awhile to get use to looking at things through a thermal and identifying what u are seeing it does good i wouldnt buy a 2nd one though of that brand. The 640 is great at 2x but everytime u click that zoom feature u drop half the pixels basically so by time u zoom all the way in your clicking back out to figure out what it is again.I questioned everything i looked at at first. Ive never tried the ts25 to know the difference between them but i think u made the right call if u are happy. Sounds like u got the correct one
@@heyjohnson5535you got double the resolution…why would you wish you got the ts25-384 over ts35-640 than what you have??
@@FilmJunkieOutdoors i wasnt meaning i wish i saved money and purchased the cheaper one im saying i wish i spent a couple thousand more and bought something state of the art that could have a wider range of function. Since ive bought mine now i see hundreds of thermal videos and there are some around 7500 that will replace your day scope also. Button push daytime or thermal or nv. Whatever u choose to use at that time. But it also has built in range finder and windage meter so when u hold on target it computes and gives u a holdover for Coriolis effect and all other factors. Thats the kind of tech i wish i bought instead of buying what i did. It was a good price no doubt but u get what u pay for in all things. I just wish i spent that extra dough from the start. Instead of now having the ts35 and now still gonna spend that kind of money to have the other but this is now like a waste of money.
For sighting in, FREEZE is the absolute easiest method. Check AGM's video on this method.
Serial number is located on the inside of the Objective dust cover.
I watched 5 videos on sighting in the Rattler and yours was the best. I just purchased a TS35-384. I couldn’t shoot hogs because I didn’t have it sighted in yet. But thoroughly enjoyed watching all the deer moving around. I will rewatch you video on my desktop computer since I could not see your computer screen from my phone. Thanks for the tips.
Great video! Thanks for going through the process and showing it on the Ipad. Really Helpful
By far the BEST hands-on tutorial on the AGM Rattler there us in existence!💥 Thank You Sir!🙏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
THANK YOU!!!!! I was feeling like i was missing something... the jungle setting... what a game changer!!!!
So glad i found this video!!!!!! Thanks for taking the time to make it!🎉🎉🎉
I would like to thank you for your detailed breakdown. And especially noting that you would need to write down the xy zero numbers because several years ago when the atn x sight first came out, I was unaware that when you changed your batteries, would reset the scope back to day one. While I'm used to that now because I have a whole cheat sheet using various distances and ammo brands and weights written down now, that was only because of bad experiences until I knew that. I'm very interested in the thermal optic. Thinking of selling a gun I seldom use to get one after watching your video and seeing the things that you covered in the menu. Thank you again for taking the time to do this. I learned a lot from it.
Great idea about the battery target👍
That one part when you were talking about measure setting...that's actually the rangefinder. The trajectory setting is putting the hash marks on the reticle for bullet drop ECT.
Loved the video. Exactly the info i needed. Thanks for putting in the time to do it
Thanks for the video. It’s very helpful. I am expecting ups to deliver mine tomorrow. Can hardly wait.
Excellent walkthrough and overview.... i was on the pfence on this brand and model as i have ATN for a few years and love... thanks and great video!
Thanks for taking the time to make this and responding to so many people. Just ordered a Rattler!
We love ours and dont want to use nothing but rattlers. Thank u for the feed back.
Yeah, this is the kind of guy I wish was my neighbor.
Just picked up ts25-384 today, thanks for the detail instruction.
Your welcome if u have any questions i should be able to get u going. Just remember when u sight it in u move the aim point to bullet hole not hole to aim point like a reg scope. Its that simple up down rt left. Good luck.
Just got one , your video is very helpful, thanks
Well done my friend! Very helpful
I think you did a great job explaining . I'll admit when I started reading Manuel and started watching you I was a little intimidate d . But just replayed over few times and get hands on it's not bad at all. Plus it helps that at 60 yards I was probably 3 moa.
Great video!!!
Excellent video, sir. Helped me a bunch.
A sincere thank you good video
Great tips! Thank you
VERY EXPLANATORY!! Thank you Sir
Thanks for sharing!
Good video, thanks!
Great job!
thanks for the video
Appreciate the video
I have the 256 resolution and a friend has the 384 resolution. When you zoom the 384 to roughly the same magnification as the 256, the image quality isn’t as good as the 256. Whereas you lose field of view with the 256 being a 3.5x base mag, you don’t have to zoom when taking shots past 100 yards on small hogs, coyotes, or a fox. The 1.5x base mag of the 384 really limits its abilities for my use so I would only recommend it to people that are only shooting extremely close targets.
The password is on the sticker on backside of the objective lens cap. It’s also the last portion of the Wi-Fi name when it pops up on your mobile device.
For initial sight in, you take a shot then cover the bullet hole with the reticle, use the freeze frame function, then adjust the axis values until the reticle is on the bullseye of the frozen image.
Yeah i really like mine and very happy with. On my video i did leave some stuff out i noticed later. I was just hoping to get someone that was having issues a better chance to figure it out. If it helps one person it was worth it. Lol. The book can be very misleading. Thanks for adding it hope it helps others.
I went with the 256 as well for that very reason. At the same magnification the 384 drops down to 192.
Resolution is night and day difference. I have the rattler 25-384 and the a 35-384 and this is bare minimum for identification purposes in my mind. 256 wouldn’t be bad for scanning atleast
@@kingrider75 It all comes down to magnification preference because base mag on the 35-384 is still only 2x and the 25-256 is 3.5x. I’ve spent enough time in the field to positively identify deer, hogs, coyotes, etc at a couple hundred yards. Where I hunt is heavily wooded so seeing 1,000 yards is rare and at that distance with the 35-384 you’ll have to zoom and then you’re below the base resolution of the 25-256.
@@browningboy2012 I don’t agree. At 2 power, base magnification with the 35-384 I can easily tell a hog from a coyote. I could not tell any discernible difference in body shape with 256 resolution. Not knocking it I just believe these lower resolutions would be better for detection than shooting.
Thanks i just got my first one agm ts 19 the book is ok to get started but my buddys said get on u tube Your vid is very helpfull cant thank you enugh Said Spud
The only thing i have heard of with agm is shutting off when shot. But i found that there is a thin coating on the post that touch battery ends. If it happed just take a w tip with finger nail polish remover and rub the contacts with it and it comes rt off. I did it to mine before i used it not knowing if it had it kn it or not it did not. But thats all i have heard of. My other two hunting guys have had theres for a few years with no problems so far so i would highly recommend the rattler in any size. Very good bucket of bolts.
Excellent Thank you
I got one on the way. I own a farm in Sw Pa figured i would check out some videos before it comes in so when it arrives i can get to work with it and have it sighted in for that night. Appriciate the battery tin foil trick would of never thought of that. I been using night vision for close to 10 years and been wanting to switch for awhile but finally i made the buy. Luckily we dont have wild hogs yet but we do have coyotes and they have prob taken more calves from me then ill ever know. So for that is the reason i purchased it and cant wait to dial it in.
U will love it. Night and day difference have fun.
@@nightstalkerzthermalhoghun848 the trajectory thing got me completly lost. I mean what would u do if u run out of adjustment. Was it due to the distance being 1000m instead of 100 yards? I watched that part 3 times trying to understand and each time just lost me more. Were those shots u made at 100 yards earlier outisde obviously and if u had it zeroed at 100 why would u miss by 12 inches? Or did u just make a slit in some cardboard for the battery at random and it simply didnt work out for the adjustments while u explained them. So basically those are all the questions thay developed from the trajectory part. If those impact spots werent actual bullet holes from earlier and simply just cut for demonstration then it basically clears all my questions up. And i appologize for the long message i just didnt want to go half cocked.
Good video 👍
Great video just got mine yesterday. Need to get it sighted in. Was concerned with taking it off and on for day hunting with a different scope
Its keeps with in a couple in at a hundred yards. Best thing to do is get a cheaper ar 15 like i got in 350 legend or the 762-39. And leave it on it if at all possible. I to hate to remove mine but i do sometimes lol. I have 2 of the ts25 -256. One on 308 bolt action and other on legend ar u will love it.
Thank you
Model and serial #'s on mine are on the white sticker inside lens cap, although printed incredibly small
Thank you for the video, would you please do video of model TC35-384.
That is a hell of h** of a idea. With the battery. I've been using hand warmers here in Maine and I also fold up tinfoil to little 1" squares and post those on my target . 100% I am definitely going to try that out if that will save money on hand warmers especially if you have to take a battery out of a game camera that's running low it will still heat up and use up the rest of the battery that's even more Less spending and more usage of the battery Pretty d*** slick my friend!
The thinner the foil the better it works due to it takes more power to heat up the heavy duty foil.
Your demonstration saving the reticle numbers was very helpful to me. That detail has been a brick wall for me.
Yep for sure just always remember u bring the crosshairs to bullet when making adjustments. A scope u move bullet to crosshairs So always move to bullet hole from center. That easy. U hit 4 in to left u move left button 8 numbers due to its 1/2 in per number at 100 yards.
Shorting out a battery to generate heat. Like it!
What about the distance setting in fine tuning Trajectory? What should it be set at?
Good help
Hey old friend. I’ve got 4 AGMs when we going hunting?
Ripper😉
@@jamesanthony9038 damn you got 4
thankyou,,,,not a long video,,,,need more on setting the target,,,,
What part u looking for like making adjustments to zero in on target ?
Freeze is very helpful in zeroing everyone should learn to use it.
I use it on everything i have when i made this video it was first one to try and help out guys that ways on the base floor and basically can turn it on thats why left out a lot of stuff plus again just first one i did. Thanks anyways it definitely saves the ammo lol.
Good video I plan to buy one this week and setup the way you have show us. I have question Picture in Picture bring u closer are u just see it better and you use the pic in pic recticle to shoot are the regular Big reticle to shot are aim for hit? Overall you did a well job...thanks again...BJ
Pip gives u a zoom on your shot to make better shot
When you go to your version icon and click it, it lists the S/N for the scope for when you're trying to log onto the hotspot on the scope.
Thanks I was wondering
Just watched the video again. Great. What’s the purpose of the “freeze” off/on mode on the reticle menu?
When u use the one shot for fine tune u can get lined up on target and freeze it so now u can move the one shot line rt to hole and not have to hold it true while doing it. And when u get there save it and it keeps new setting and goes back to ready.
We watched your video but I’m still very confused on how you get your xy number for the reticle. How do we figure it out? Do I simply do what the manual says to do and will that be accurate sighting?
When u go to the reticle u keep pushing the center button and the box will move down to the x y and then up and down is y. Rt and left is x. Y is up and down x is rt to left.
Thanks a lot for the battery foil trick. How do u get the display to appear on your iPad? T vision allows me to download videos but I can’t see the menu
U turn on the hotspot / wifi on thermal. On i pad u turn on hot spot and got to wifi and then turn it on and find the thermal on it and add password when u get check mark on wifi. Go to tvision and at bottom of page its white hit touch it and when it connects u will have same video as thermal. Let me know if it dont work thanks.
Hello Anyone your rattler ts25-256 in meters? Can it be changed to yards? I didn't see in manual or online search Thanks
I like everything about the Rattler except for the menu buttons, they are too slow to navigate. AGM needs to go to a single knob like the Burris BTS 50 or the Armasight Contractor three knob system which are much faster and more user friendly.
.. question about batteries. the cr123a are 3 volts each. if you hookup a battery pack, do you have to remove those cr123 batteries. also;.. when reset to 3.7, what volts should the batt-pac be. can i use one with 5 volt output...?
There was feed back that a guy used one thats 5 volt and said it works great. I have not tried it. As far as pulling the batteries or not i do not know. I looked in the book and did not see anything about it. I know when u hook up cord to retrieve videos u remove batteries or damage can happen to pc. So i just remove them as directed and would do the same for external battery. Too much money to find out the hard way. Hope it helps thanks.
I’m having a hard time getting the scope sighted in.
Do I chase the bullet. For instance if it’s shooting high to I move the coordinates to make them high.
Complete opposite of a reg scope. Always rt down each move it can be confusing. I am going to do a video just for sighting in. Keep in mind if u need 2 in to rt to be on target. Then u make two numbers to rt. Opposite of a reg scope.
So, it's decision time on what optics for my 300 blackout. It's a 16in barrel. I was going to get an ACOG because they have one specifically for 300 blackout with holdovers for both super sonic and sub sonic rounds.
Was looking at iRay RH25 as a clip on right in front of that ACOG. But AGM TC35-640 looks good. Just need to know if it will line up okay. Looks like AGM has better identification at further distances and has a better objective view at comparable distances. The only thing iRay has over AGM is size and weight.
Please .. input. I'm okay being corrected. Either way I go, it's going to cost, so I would rather people let me know what I don't know vs me figure it out after spending the money.
Thanks guys.
At this point and time they have them all so damn good its almost to what u like. The service is the tie breaker. I know of two rattlers that needed help they sent in and got new ones no questions asked. That means a lot with the cost. I am waiting on atm has a scope style thermal coming out in 1280 very soon starting at 5200. Hundred. I still love my Agm products our click has all agm sorry not much help but check into services because one day u will need repair. Hate to pay twice for same unit. Rattler can be set up for 5 different guns or set ups to handle different situations we move ours from gun to gun and hold 2-3 in groups at 1-2 hundred yards hope it helps.
@@nightstalkerzthermalhoghun848 Thanks. Will look up ATN?
When we were doing the trajectory adjustment, nothing seemed to be moving. I think it was because you had it set at 1000 meters. If you change it to 100 meters you would see the crosshairs move. At 1000 meters the difference between your point of aim and point of impact would be Feet low and to the left. How can you change it from meters to yards? Haven't been able to find that.
Sounds like u need to do a update when u do it will totally change the thermal and give u lots more stuff plus yards as well. Old 256 was only meters. That i have seen mine too till update. Now its great in so many ways.
You can use 2 reticles, 1 for unsuppressed, 1 suppressed, or 1 sub, 1 super etc. It works from what I hear. I haven't bought mine yet.
U can set up different reticles for different guns or set ups yes that’s correct
To adjust the scope do you just try and follow the hole with the arrows?
If u are on reticle u move the target center to the bullet hole just the opposite of a reg scope. So if u are 4 in to the left u move center to the left 4 in. One number is 1/2 in so u would move left button 8 numbers.
Does anyone else have side to side movement from the scope mount? If so how do you tighten it up?
Make sure the bottom 2 screws that hold scope to mount are tight i used lock tight on mine due to they got loose on me.
Hello, thanks for the tutorial,
I’m still having difficulty with the T-Vision app. I can’t seem to figure out how to put recordings onto my iPhone.
I can livestream, but not download
Are u trying to download from thermal to your computer or phone i pad ect. If u want to talk about it i be home about 730-8 this eve. Let me know and i will give u my number. Walk u through it.
@@nightstalkerzthermalhoghun848 yes! I would really appreciate your help! Please give me your number
Do these have a lifespan? Like how many hours before image degrades or anything that will wear out?
As far as i know they last for years. Mostly its up to u like dont point into bright lights Sun. Powerful lights. And i r lights. All can kill filters life span. I recommend turning on the protecting part on the thermal in case u do get into lights ect. My hunting buddies have them and for several yrs now. Still going strong. There are other ones on the market thats dont have a good track record. Hope it helps thanks.
What effect if any does a suppressor have on image quality and resolution?
We use them on all of our guns. It keeps down the flash and helps for sure. Big difference between using one and not.
Possible to use a different reticle and different zero for a different gun?
Yes u can set up each one as a new gun just to remember witch one up to 5 different guns.
Is there a way to get the crosshairs centered back into the middle of the screen once it is sighted in?
Do a update on it even if its new they can get out of wack sometimes. Just like your home computer or i phone they need it sometimes. Hope that helps. I have had lil issues like not sighting in good ect. Update has fixed all of mine so far.
I have a problem with my rattler. New battery and when I turn it on I get a mismatched voltage screen and won’t let me click on anything. Then a shut off countdown. Any advice
Yes u need to do a program up date when u get it completed it will be fixed plus a bunch of other stuff as well. If its a older model it will make a ton of changes as well. All are great love mine. I bought a second ts25-256. And it did your problem when i took out of box i did program up date and its great now.
Jim
You show that your scope has x=+9 and y=-23, how do you get to that point? I need to zero mine in to that point. I have the ts35-384, thatnks
Ghats the number I ended up with when my gun was on sight. Yours will be totally different due to set up scope ect. The - and plus depends on where u move the scope rt to left and up and down. When i put in on another gun numbers are totally different
Go to menu then reticule and then keep hitting menu to get it to scroll down to x y box then make adjustments from there then hold menu to lock it in till it says saved
DPC is pixel repair. I’ve had to use it to get rid of some spots in image.
I thought the trajectory was for different ranges or loads .
Is that a base 3x? If so, is it way too magnified to ID someone inside the home for home protection?
Ts25/256 is BBC a 3.5 base and i use it in my home u adjust the focus 10-20 ft and u can see the toenails on your dog. It’s definitely good for in home total darkness.
When it gets low on battery power does the screen start to show lines? Or does it just shut off?
Never seen lines on screen it just shut off on us. We try to change out on last bar due to it always quits rt when we ready to shoot. Lol.
I don't know if my buddy was hitting buttons on it while using it or what happened to it but when he handed it back to me it had like a grid pattern on the screen.
I reset everything cleared everything and put new batteries in it and it seams to be working fine now . I won't be happy until I go out and use it outside for about an hour . Thanks for replying
What does the freeze option do for the scope?
When u are using the one shot zero or correction u can get cross hairs on target and freeze it and u can move one shot to where u need it with having to keep cross hairs on target at same time as u make adjustments and making it move. It takes a freeze frame of cross hairs and target so u can make a good adjustment
HVAC tape works as well
Thanks i got some i will try it too.
What kind of range can you get on accurate shots with that thermal. 👍
We try to keep it under 100 yrds due to whats out there behind u ect. But in plowed fields we have went to 300 yrds a few times the thermals will do the job its up to u and your weapon on how far u shoot we use rattlers and vermin types of thermals. All are agm products love them.
Seems so complicated! I ordered one before seeing your video so now I’m worried!
Its all good u can sit and watch tv and play around with it. If u get it jacked up just hit the factory reset and u are back to the start. U will love it. Lol.
Thank you!@@nightstalkerzthermalhoghun848
What caliber?
Is the 25-256 worth it or spend the money and get the 384
We have both i use the 256 and there is a difference between the two. I can see and shoot all they can but its just how clearly u see it. If u can afford the higher resolution then go for it but the 25-256 is a good meat and tatters thermal it gets the job done for sure.
So you can only fine-tune the one reticle or does that fine-tune all the sites
Just number 1 after u set it u just put the numbers into the other 4 and u are set.
What's the name of that flashhider and the name of the can you use if you have one? Thanks
We all use omega 300 suppressors. They have quick connection to go from gun to gun with out having to unscrew rt off the barrel. U buy the adapter for each gun and leave on gun. Then just swap to gun to gun.
Thanks bud
Do you have to sight in every zoom
No it stays true on all of them but it gets very grainy quickly on zoom
how many reticle colors are there?
I think like 4-5 ? Never counted i use green for everything it works best for me.
You boresight at 25 yards with your rifle, but do nothing with the scope. Am I to understand the setting of the reticle on the scope is only done at your final distance, i.e., at 100 yards? The boresight is for the rifle only, at 25 yds, for the shot to set scope at 100 yards??
Yes u bore site at 25 to get u on the paper good enough to hit paper at 100 so not to over shoot target and not know where to set thermal. Also remember not like a day scope with thermal u move cross hairs to bullet hole so if u hit 1 in high at 100 u move up one in witch is 2 numbers due to one number is 1/2 in m o a.
I need someone to help teach me the scope I have paid a lot of money and can't figure it out
I am rt in the middle of having my knee replaced if u can hang on till end of the week i can give u a call while i am laid up in recovery. Lol. Give me something to do. Good luck and u will love it when u get it worked out.
Agm rattler Recoil ar10 308??
We use 308 ar10 and 2 light weight bolt action with and without suppressors all using rattlers no problems at all very secure package.
I need to move 7” Right and 4” up.
What do I need to do?
Remember on the thermal u move center target to the bullet hole. Reg scope u move hole to center target. Som move left button 1 number 1/2 in at 100 yards. Call it six u will move left button 12 numbers to move 6in. Move down button 8 numbers for 4 in.
Always remember move center target to bullet hole and push rt left up down to do so its that easy. Every number is 1/2 in at a 100 yards.
Trying to help a friend sight his in. Need to make a small adjustment at 100 yds but moving from 13+ to 14+ is moving the impact 3-1/2".. The book says ".91 at 100 yds"..Not on this unit.
Its 1/2 in at 100. U need to lock in a lead sled and shoot a tight group. My gun shoots 1/2 groups with rt ammo and 3-4 in groups with heaver bullets make sure the gun will stack. Because one number is only 1/2 in at 100. U can go to reticle 1 and do the one shot set up is how u fine tune it but it sounds like something is loose or the gun is not grouping well. My mount got loose from the thermal I removed the two screws and lock tightened them back in and mine has held after that. Hope it helps.
Freeze is your one shot zero feature. Learn it, use it, thank me later.
Lol i have used it. It definitely helps. Thanks for the advice. 👍
What does the freeze do
@@dustineverett3343 it lets u get the crosshairs lined up on target then freeze it then u move the x to the hole and save it. If u have a good locking system to hold gun to target its just as easy to make the adjustment with out freezing it.
Can you please explain how to use the freeze function in layman’s for me . Can I use this feature with a laser bore sight ?
@@DerekCarrillo7541 what its for is when u use one shot u hold crosshairs on target and move x to center target. Freeze lets u get lined up on target and u freeze it now u can relax and move the x to center target and enter so it basically keeps u from haven to hold true center and move x at same time.
How do you move the dang crosshair so I can sight it in?
That is ALL I care about.I want to point it at a hog,squeeze the trigger and it’s dead.
Message me on fb. Richard crisp. And i give u a call this eve and talk u through it.

Almost 30min video to teach how to one-shot-zero. Unbelievable! 🙄😅
