[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 2702798, member: 1039"] I finished building 2 AR's that I've had parts gathered from as far back as 2018 (300 Blackout and 6.8 SPC uppers are new) over the holidays. I started a 8.6 Blackout build too, so I spent my funds for thermal #2 (Thermion 2 LRF XP50). My son-in-law has been shooting Thermion optics for quite a while and I've shot a few hogs with his AR's. I bought his Night Optics and I plan to buy a Thermion (new) once I get over my build-a-holic phase. Thermal #1 is a Night Optics Panther 336 and it's mounted on one of the first AR15's I ever built. I actually built two identical AR15's (Mega upper and lower) and gave one of them to my youngest son when he got out of the USAF. My oldest son got my AR10 when he got out. Here's a sight in trick for "older" optics like the one I have. Fold a piece of aluminum foil into a 2" or 3" square and attach it to your target. The difference in the way it and paper absorb heat will make it hot enough to be clearly visible. The Thermion optics are night and day (pun not intended but it works) better than Night Optics. I don't think the foil trick is necessary for daytime sighting in with a Thermion. I don't own one so maybe it is? If someone wants to make a Go Fund Me for TSDD I'd appreciate it. Thermal Scope Desire Disease is a plague that is as bad as SDD, Suppressor Desire Disease. [/QUOTE]
