Great showing of an interesting product Travis, and I totally agree on the choice for a rimfire rifle!😊

[@foxoptic5887]

Thanks for watching Mike. I hope Iowa passes year-round with thermal for raccoons in June, with basically no trappers anymore the turkeys could sure use the help.

I have the Mini in NV on the FX. It resets the reticule to the center of the screen after zeroing. How about this scope? I see your reticle is way down on the vertical axel.

Ha got mine and had to return it. It did not work. So much for that.

Does this share a mounting footprint with anything? It looks very similar to an acog mount.

[@foxoptic5887]

It does, I am running the American Defense Trijicon Mini ACOG mount AD-B2 on mine. The Sightmark Wraith Quick release also fits it. You want to be a little cautious as some manufacturers have a small vertical rise at the top of the interface angle. I don't know if that would interfere or not, the AMD mount doesn't have that.

[@jessebodey9421]

Sorry if I missed it in the video, does it record sound? Thanks

[@foxoptic5887]

They do have audio along with the video recording.

Up to what caliber rifle could this be affixed to without causing damage from recoil?

[@lorencioalcaraz2623]

.308

[@joshuajohnson9936]

What does the auto calibration do? Is that adjusting for range?

[@foxoptic5887]

Calibration or NUC calibrates the microbolometer for unequal heat build-up around the sensor. This essentially optimizes the image by compensating for internal heat build-up created by the processor and electrical components "running" inside the device close to the sensor. In the past (and on a few other devices still to this day) it was necessary to perform manual NUC's by closing the lens cap before pressing a calibration button. (Basically, this ensures all the individual sensor receptors are reading the same value when pointed at a single emission source) Auto and Semi-auto NUC'ing simplify this procedure with a small internal camera-style shutter that automatically closes so that the user doesn't have to close the cap. (Way easier, especially out in the elements. The most sophisticated devices today will offer all 3 calibration methods. Auto: The program senses when to calibrate by "watching" the values being fed to the display, when vertical lines start to form (recognized by the signal values) the unit will automatically perform this function. The shutter closes and the program calibrates automatically. (The downside to this can be the 1-second image pause to calibrate can catch the user off guard) Semi-Auto: The user determines calibrations by visibly watching the image and performing them by pressing the CAL button, at which point the internal shutter closes and the program calibrates. In Semi-Auto the unit will only calibrate when "told to do so" by pressing the CAL button. (Most units can be Semi-Auto calibrated in Automatic mode at any time by pressing the CAL button also .) Manual: The unit's cap must be closed to block the sensor and then press the CAL button. Some will argue this provides the most accurate calibration as the cap is at the surrounding ambient temperate, however, I would argue this also offers new ways to introduce disproportionate heat if not done properly and the main goal is just reading consistency throughout the sensor array. (Touching the cap with an ungloved hand introduces heat into the cap material itself) I really only see Manual as a necessity in situations where the audible click of the shutter needs to be avoided and or if there is a problem with the internal shutter. (rare but it does happen occasionally) Calibration has nothing to do with range adjustment. (Sorry for the long explanation but I get the question a bit and have boiler-plated the response)

Just a heads up. I am unable to register with your site in either Chrome or Edge - cannot "Please enter CAPTCHA". Might hurt your sales if new buyers cannot register. Hope you sort it out quickly, great product.

I have had several registrations and orders in the last couple of days, not sure what iis causing the ssue you are experiencing. You can always call 877 806 2977 to order or get help as well.

[@cpvsgvmnt2116]

I really dont need the detail that comes with 640 types. I want to slap this on my 300 blackout (16 inch). My question.. recticles.. Im currently running the ACOG RCO 4x32. That has a drop compensator for the 300 blackout ammo. I know Trijicon has a termal with a 300 blackout reticle. I need a cheaper one. Lol

[@waynewhite310]

Does it have picture in picture?

[@foxoptic5887]

Sightmark Wraith Thermal does not, if that's a deal breaker, look at the Pulsar Talion XQ38 www.foxoptic.com/talion/pulsar-talion-xq38-2.5-10-thermal-rifle-scope-pl76561/

Can I use it with 3.7v cr123 rechargeable batteries?

I run the Tenergy 700 mAh 3.7V rechargeable batteries with no issue. Be careful with length, lots of the brands I tested were to long.

Just to be clear, I mistakenly said 700 mAh they are actually 750 mAh (black and gold RCR123A 3.7V)

How easy is it to zero?

[@foxoptic5887]

Super easy, the same 1-Shot Zero as the Sightmark Wraith Mini 4K units. Essentially aim the reticle at the target, and shoot, then hold the reticle on the initial aiming point and move a visible red X to the bullet impact location, hit the center button once and the next shot will be on target. Very simple and intuitive.

[@gmd5911]

Is the screen too small?

[@foxoptic5887]

It certainly is not as big as the Pulsar AMOLED display screens, however, even though I have decently "old" eyes and normally don't get to far from cheaters, its bright enough that I don't have any issues seeing it.

[@n0xxm3rcyxx]

i dont like the battery compartment. comes open to easy it looks like.

[@foxoptic5887]

I have run the 4k mini for over a year now and never had any issues with it.

Had a Wraith 4k max, load of rubbish. Wouldn't hold zero, worst scope I've ever had

[@foxoptic5887]

Sorry to hear this. Most guys are getting along fine with the 4K Max. (Discontinued) The 4K Max was made in China by a different company than the 4K Mini and HD series. These thermals are made in Thailand using the French Lynred sensor. (Based on my experience with 4K Mini, I think they will prove to be extremely reliable)
