PVS 24 gets first kills!

[ppapago]

Tonight was my first time out using my PVS24 and got a boar and a sow. The sow was feeding with a boar and I snuck up to about 125 yards and waited for them to line up, I fired away and she plopped down hard and the boar ran off. Fired one more shot at the boar but missed. Turns out the the 120SST did not exit so no two for one special.

I loaded the sow up and went to my next spot to and saw two small boars at another feeder. I was able to get into the deer blind and got a good rest and put one right in his noggin at 175 yards.

I am really liking this thing. Makes things so much easier not having to risk getting so close to them in order to use an IR laser to take a shot.

Why thank ya sir! Foliage green ARs are highly under rated.

Excellent Job! Nice looking rig too. What magnification were you using for the 175 yd shot?

 

[hdfireman]

The PVS-24 was designed for the 3-4x range. That being said they work good to 6x and on a good night 8x can be had. Of coarse the more you go up in magnification the more you degrade the resolution.

I had it on 5 power.

Popped a couple more hogs tonight. Although those stubborn bastards came out during daylight so I didn't get to use the PVS 24 again. I guess I could've waited another 30 minutes or so for it to get dark, but passing up a sure shot on hogs is way to hard for me to do.

Way to go, nice work.

Man this is just getting too easy. I switched things up and used my Knights Armament 5.56 w/ ACOG and 70gr TSXs for tonights hunt. All shot at 200 yards.

Total of nine dead this weekend. Personal record!
