    Any help with Flir Thermal scope repair

    I spoke with armasight and they do service the older armasight scopes. It's not a warranty but at least someone will work on them if needed.

    Apollo 640 as standalone sight ?’s

    It's been over a month since going back to the thermal ahead of a day scope and like it better so far. The additional weight is no longer an issue because of the turret setup we now use. The image is much clearer and the zoom is better than in the stand alone mode. The illuminated reticle in the...

    Any Other Pulsar Trail Owners Losing Zero?

    I don't have the pulsar but was having issues over a long period of time. It wasn't until it got much worse that I found the culprit. One of the screws attaching the base to the scope was loose. Hope you find the issue soon.

    Apollo 640 as standalone sight ?’s

    Recently had an problem with mine and thought I was going to replace it. Anyway figured it out but while I had it off did some testing and discovered the margins do not affect the poi. I tried everything I could to adjust the poi shift with the zoom but couldn't make it change. So I'm back to...

    Where can I get my Zeus repaired?

    It's really a sad situation for us flir owners. I spoke to one of the guys at Flir and he was sincerely apologetic about the situation. It was then I realized the employees were not happy about it either. I don't see it changing so when it's time to replace it I'll go elsewhere.

    Where can I get my Zeus repaired?

    Contacted SPI today and they do not work on armasight even though they are familiar with it. He said Flir has the ownership of parts etc... And won't share it with other vendors. So it seems when your armasight dies it's gone for good. I thought I might try Ray's marine and see if they are still...

    Where can I get my Zeus repaired?

    On mine the blue screen indicated a bad battery connection. The only place I've heard of to repair them is Ray's marine. They were a service center for flir a while back. I've also heard the some of the guys from armasight we're starting another company but I haven't confirmed this. If so I hope...

    Apollo 640 as standalone sight ?’s

    I've settled in on using 2x to scan and take a quick shot and 4x when I have time to adjust. I struggled with mine for months and missed several coyotes before getting the sweet spot I can live with. The margin shift was key to getting where I'm at now. It seems the margins can be shifted and...

    Group size with thermal

    I'm getting the same result. With a day scope I can get moa with the thermal at least double that. To make things worse the adjustments must be 1" per click. I've come to the conclusion they are not a precision shooting instrument. Minute of hog clique seems to be real

    Zeroing issue

    Wrapping my head around what you are saying is, and if I'm understanding correctly, it's the same as a day scope 1/4" at 100yds =1/2" at 200? If so I get it but mine doesn't matter what power of magnification you're on it the amount of correction falls left or right of center or bullseye with...

    Zeroing issue

    I'm having an issue with my armasight Apollo thermal. At 100yds I can hit 2" right, one click over and it's 2"left so I can't get it to hit where I want it. Will the margins help adjust this out? FYI it's 3 shot groups shot from a vise on a bench. This was been an issue from the beginning.
