    **QUESTION** Just got my AGM Rattler 35-384 and setting things up. Love it so far!! One issue we're encountering and looking for help on: Both myself (lefthanded) and my son (righthanded) are having to tilt our heads significantly to see through the scope when mounted on an AR15, to the point it feels uncomfortable. I see in your opening that you have mounted it on an AR15 platform. Am I missing something or is that the nature of the beast?

    • @TKOutdoors
      @TKOutdoors  11 месяцев назад +5

      It's the nature with these scopes. Your looking at a small screen and trying to center it to your eye vs the normal lense of a scope.

  • @markb3727
    @markb3727 Год назад +2

    Can’t you use rechargeable CR123s? Also, you shouldn’t need a gun vice to sight in. Use the Freeze feature to lock your reticle on the bullseye, then move to shot location with x/y adjustment.
    Great review!

    • @TKOutdoors
      @TKOutdoors  Год назад

      I've found rechargeable batteries to be disappointing. You can run a battery pack on this, I'm trying one now.

    Maybe a video on how to tighten the rattle quick attach mount. I been figuring all this stuff out the hard way, no video on RUclips about it that I've seen. You release the quick attach push in on the spring exposing the nut and you can tighten it so the scope isn't loose on the rail.

    I was getting ridiculously low battery life out of CR123 batteries on my TS35 640. The Energizer batteries seemed to last the longest, but still not very good. I was definitely starting to regret my purchase. I bought a 2 pack of Aonimi type C mini portable chargers from Amazon to try out. I attached them to the type C port and each one ran significantly longer than any CR123 I have used. It is small enough to stay out of your way. Maybe a tiny bit flimsy, but acceptable. I mostly use my rattler as a handheld. I dont know if the charger would hold up as well if mounted to a rifle, but i will test it out soon.

    • @TKOutdoors

      I got an external battery from outdoor legacy. It is a rectangle. I got a cheap case for flip cell.phone of its size. I zip tied to my gun. I got a magnetic C charging cord and I have operated flawless for 2 yrs. I leave on all.night and record every set
      I can honestly hunt for 3 nights before charging external
      So 18-22 hrs continuous
      The magnetic C cord is to ensure scope does not get damaged if cord gets caught on fence ect

  • @ZhiwuWang
    @ZhiwuWang Год назад

    I like all your videos. One question, i.e., have you figured out how to quickly compensate the trajectory drop beyond 50 yard? I know the RETICLE function can work for that purpose. However, it is so difficult to select the saved RETICLE at difference distance. There is no back button. I have to cycle through all saved RETICLE to go to one that I need to use. By that time, animal has already moved. What do you suggest? Any shortkey? By the way, my 308 subsonic drop 1 foot from 50 to 100 yard.

    • @TKOutdoors
      @TKOutdoors  Год назад +2

      I haven't had to worry about that due to this being on a 22. If I were you I'd use the reticle with hashes and practice shooting at distance to find what hash mark at what distance.

  • @codyrhea4368

    • @TKOutdoors
      @TKOutdoors  8 месяцев назад

      Not at all, mine zeroed quickly. Do you have any kind of offset base?

    • @codyrhea4368
      @codyrhea4368 8 месяцев назад

      @@TKOutdoors No, but I did figure out my issue. I was zeroing zoomed in at 8X zoom. I guess the firmware limits the Y movement when you are zoomed. I tried again at 1X zoom and it let me adjust deeper to get a true zero. Probably a bug on their end. This is with a Rattler v2

    You're being ripped off. AGM scopes are re-branded HIK scopes made in China and the equivalent HIK scope sells for much less in the UK than the AGM version does in the USA
    For example your rattler TS50-640 retails at $4175. The same scope in the UK sells for $2750
