What a great night to test out the new S6! Another great video. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and do these reviews. Cool to see you testing out the PSA/AAC ammo!
It turned out to be a VERY good night(s) for you indeed. I heard you on the video call the cows - out of habit I pushed my mouse cursor down so as to not flag them ;) CSMF
It’ll never happen, but I can imagine pop-up cartoon balloons with sayings like on the old Batman series. Kapow! Blammo! Whack! Cows! 🤣 Thanks for another enjoyable video Brian! 👍🏼
Nice shooting. I picked up a S6 recently and I'm very impressed with it, particularly at the price point. Compared to my 4 year old Pulsar the S6 is half the weight, 1/3 the size, slightly better resolution, far more intuitive operation, better battery life without the proprietary batteries, and I'm loving the RAV. What's not to like? Also hunting NE Tx.
I currently own a storm 3 and have been debating to order another storm 3 or storm 6. The S3 with a 3.5x base mag is really great, but how does it compare to the S6 at 4x ? I know it’s kind of a loaded question but I’ve used other 640 scopes with a 2x base mag and the S3 ends up being a better picture after the zoom. Obviously at base mag the 640 wins all day. Just trying to get as close as I can to compare apples to apples. I’m in south Florida with most shots being 200 yards and closer. You opinion is greatly appreciated!
Was able to look through the storm s2. Awesome scope, but noticed screen distortion/garbling when there was recoil. Also the brightness from 1 to 2 was such a big jump in brightness that might be a problem for pitch dark hunters where 1 is too low and 2 is too harsh. 3, 4, and 5 are extremely bright.
Very nice video! Im looking into getting a RIX AStorm S6 to mount on my helmut. Your video helpled a lot. Im in N Tx too. I hunt in the Denton/Wise county area.
@@CarpeSus Sorry I meant Stride ST6. Im just getting into using a helmet/thermal monocular. My hunting buddy has one, but hes not able to hunt due to a recent child birth so I have to get one form myself. I really enjoy your patholgoy reports. If you have any tips Id appreciate any help you can give.
@@ryanweiss1721 Who knows? I learned early on that a given model of bullet may look exceptionally different between calibers, almost to the point that it looks like a different bullet. So I don't know.
Wow that foliage is thick it gave me a better perspective in the daylight I can see the challenges you have to deal with I reckon you have a whole lot of Hunter DNA in you kudos on the hunts awesome persistence 👍🦘🇦🇺
Great video, thank you. I just ordered a bunch of that ammo. I can't tell from looking at your bullet if it's an sst, or eldm. If it has a cannalure, I'll assume it's an sst. I wish they were a tad faster, but for the price, it beats reloading. Looks like they worked good.
These are not a very equitable comparison. If you can afford it, I am going to tell you to get the Storm S6. If you were asking about the more equitable Storm S3, I would go with it as well.
Well, that is a bit of a sticky question. There is spotting, recognition, and identification. Spotting could be as little as one pixel lighting up to indicate that there is a heat source. Recognition would mean basically that you see an animal in the field that you think is a coyote based on general overall shape, movement pattern/gate, etc.,. Identification would mean that you see diagnostic anatomical traits to actually identify it as a coyote (versus a similar canid such as a fox or domestic dog (some of which are coyote-like in appearance. I would argue that most thermal hunters don't actually identify the coyotes they shoot so much as recognize them and rationaize that they are seeing a coyote based on the circumstances of the situation. I know of a couple of situations where I have held off shooting a "coyote" in a field because I just could not be certain it was not a domestic dog (in particular, one of the landowner's dogs). I would GUESS the K3 would be decent for this somewhere between 300 and 400 yards in good conditions. From an elevated position (such as a hillside overlooking a valley) that distance may be extended. If the decision to shoot is going to be based on what you see in the K3, I would say
@@CarpeSus that was a really great answer! That helped me a lot with getting an idea of the capabilities of it. That’d be perfect for the location im hunting (Pennsylvania) smaller corn fields backed by woods. Thank you very much, I’m new to the channel and you’re doing a hell of a job, keep up the great content!
@ronlevin2339 Generally speaking, I hunt both on sight. Calling works much better for coyotes than hogs. I have had hogs I could see that ran off when I used the caller as often as I have seen them come in. So, I am not a big fan.
@@drumnadrochit23 It seems to perform like Hornady SST at a reduced velocity. So, fine in that regard. I would like more velocity, but the price is great.
make it make sense, this has the price of a 384x288 resolution from other top brands but has a resolution of 640×512 am I missing something? can someone explain!
@@CarpeSus Well, that's not real world for me. I can't hunt at night in my state, so it's a moot point. It looks fun though, kinda like a shooting arcade....

Love the running shots Brian, nice job mate cheers Yogi ✌️
A very productive series of hunts. GSMF!

Target rich. On the second set I was sure you were going to go for one the 2 in the middle first, they looked huge.

Just ordered an S6 I can’t wait for the better resolution!
@crispito4717 I think you will like it! So easy to use!

THERE ARE NO UNNECESSARY QUALITY ASSURANCE SHOTS.
All Q/A is very necessary!
thanks for the clip

@@CarpeSus I prefer my tried and true Pulsars.

@treythorsen2421 Hey Neighbor! An S6 on your helmet? I take it that you want a longer range option? Just curious.

I have been curious about the AAC 6.5 Saber Black Tips. My grendel doesn't like hornady but I have had pretty good accuracy results out Saber 5.55.
So you don't think it is a SST bullet? Either way, glad it seems to be working for you and the price is really sweet as well.
@CarpeSus to the best of my knowledge, Hornady never made a SST in 5.56. I'm thinking it could be a V Max.

That many coyotes it's hard to keep your composure

I'm sure you love the new scope ,lol

@roosterfish3248 if you figure it out, let me know!
They are essentially sst bullets
@@djmcdonald5508 Thank you.
do you have any videos with the S1 i cant find any at all
No, and you won't find many. It does not have a good image. The resolution is too low.
Just discovered RIX. Would you choose the R6 vs AGM Rattler V2 35x384?
These are not a very equitable comparison. If you can afford it, I am going to tell you to get the Storm S6. If you were asking about the more equitable Storm S3, I would go with it as well.
@@CarpeSusrix is awesome
How far do you think you could ID a coyote with the k3? Thinking about getting one and theirs not much info on them (that I can find)

Have your tried to use a hog calling to attract hogs and coyotes ?
@ronlevin2339 Generally speaking, I hunt both on sight. Calling works much better for coyotes than hogs. I have had hogs I could see that ran off when I used the caller as often as I have seen them come in. So, I am not a big fan.
How do you like the performance of the psa black tip? Just bought a few boxes for myself out here in central texas
@@drumnadrochit23 It seems to perform like Hornady SST at a reduced velocity. So, fine in that regard. I would like more velocity, but the price is great.
tick heaven

That is correct. You are not missing anything.
so k3 vs k2 for the money 5 vs 800 what would you pick for the money
K3. You can just identify so much more with it over the K2.
What are your thoughts on the Rix Pocket K2 vs the K3? Worth the extra $300?
Yeah, the K3 is that much better.
Solid vid. Let’s hunt sometime.
We're being spoilt, two videos in a couple of days, that coyotes luck ran out
@martyn6792 I get vids out ASAP, but the animals have to cooperate. No animals, no vids. Still out 3 nights a week...
@@CarpeSus not complaining, appreciate you put a lot of effort into them and I am grateful for that as unlikely to ever experience that
ranges?
Ranges? Of what?
😝😜💥💥😜😝
Good afternoon!
What barrel length?
@@djmcdonald5508 18". And I mistated the velocity, fyi. Should have been 2385.
For a bargain priced scope? That's a $2800 scope. What do you consider an expensive scope?
@@constitutionalist4391 I take it you are not familiar with thermal optics. The top tier stuff is going for 7--10K right now.
