Quoted: Thank you GThirteen and delirious1! So, that means the the IR Defense website implies that the MK2 is multi-pallette due to the pictures, which is certainly deceptive. I'm sorta curious as to why they feel the need to show color options on their MK2 product page... Granted, it looks like a decent unit, and I'm curious to see how the updated firmware will work out and what it will fix. Looks like they are 3-5 weeks out right now (I ordered one on Friday). What I'm still trying to figure out is: on one of the PDF brochure for the IR Hunter Mark 2 it says "Basic Features: EZ-Zoom, Polarity (optional color)" So, I'm wondering what the "optional color" is... Now the issue at play is that this is not an IR Defense brochure, but a TNVC one (page 2) [didnt catch that originally] http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=541&f=5512&t=13312959&p=1&random=1991924475878477 Frankly, I wouldn't mind color reticules... Since it appears the MK2 is not like some of the other devices I've used that auto-inverse the reticle color when you move it from a light object to a dark object, etc. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: It's super confusing, as the VGA output screen is "monochrome."

That's a ton! That'd be awesome. I'd love colored reticles... But I more so rather people have a clear idea about what they are looking at and what they are getting.
I had settled in a T-70, a D750, or an IR Hunter MK2. (Possibly even purchasing two of the three...). When I called I was informed that the MK2 only came in monochrome, which, to be honest confused the crap out me, because the manufacturers website shows all of these cool colored features... I had a W1000 at one point, and it was effectively monochromatic (green lens), and it worked well enough for sure. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I've spent many hours behind Flir devices that had color reticles/palettes, and an IRD MK2 that doesn't. My preference on either device is black hot, I feel that offers the best contrast and definition. The rainbow, sepia, iron and all the other jazz doesn't do much for me and adds way too much clutter. The only time I use a color palette is Insta alert, and that is to detect only. I certainly would not target and shoot on that setting because it will not offer the definition needed for a precise shot.
For a TWS white/black hot is plenty effective and really all I care about. A scanner on the other hand I might be convinced to add some color, but it isn't a necessity for me. |

Color is cool, but I never use them in the field just black and white. MK I does have color reticles, but once again I never use them as my favorite is the black/white mode that changes depending on background. So it DOES change automatically based on the background?! That's the one think I was concerned about! Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I don't think they reliaze where I am at first In my experience, with a suppressor, they run after they hear the shot(s), but are often very confused as to what direction the shots came from. I've got a suppressed 44 Mag bolt gun that is very, very quiet, and they all haul balls when that one shoots, but as often as not, they haul right at you without knowing you're there. |

| What range are you guys zero-ing your IR Hunter Mk IIs at ? I have an AAC MPW 9" that I am using for hog hunting, shooting mostly 194 grain Lehigh Maximum Expansion subsonics, and every once in a while 110grain Barnes VOR-TX supersonics. Would like to minimize the amount of elevation correction off of bullseye for shots up to 150 yards. |

I'm using the online ballistics calculator from Hornady, and it's saying assuming 100 yard zero, 1.5" scope height, 0.638 BC and 1000ft/s, the bullet would actually impact 3.8 inches high vs POA at 50 yards (ie i would need to aim lower at 50 yards). Does that sound right?

Does that sound right? I think your 1.5" sight height is a little low, buddy? It should be the height above the boreline? What platform are you shooting from that the center of the scope is only 1.5" higher than the bore? Most ARs would be about 3" or so for most optics. |

Ahhh you're right. I'm on an AAC MPW 9" SBR. Using a 1.25" rail height above bore, and 1.5" optic height from rail to reticle center (2.75" total), I come up with 3.1" high POI at 50 yards (ie, aim low to adjust).

Got my bosses MK2 back recently from IR defense. It was having some glitches deemed a software issue. It came back with the updated firmware.
I've been comparing it to mine with the older software to see if there were any noticeable differences. I did notice the image has more of a amber hue in it now compared to the black and white image I see in my unit. To be honest I like it better. It seems easier on the eyes so to speak. The unit is now running good, and I'm mounting it up on a rig tomorrow along side mine for a hunt. |

I have not fogetten about you. I don't have that little video done for you yet, but I did get this image put together. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d6/tnadair/Grid%20Images/MK-II-35mm-Grid-Image_zpsja77sffl.jpg Are these pictures of the 35 mm or the 19mm?? And why are there 2 "2x zooms" that appear to be at different magnifications with each other? I don't have an IR Hunter, is one set suppose to be a picture taken with the reticle on and another set a live shot of the scope? Thanks for taking the time to take these pictures and explain to us how to use them, UNV. Also, how is that exterior/extended power option coming along? I'm hoping it will be some kind of lithiu ion chargeable power pack. |

Quoted:
Thank you. So basically, you line up the cross hairs with the picture cross hair? No, the stored picture does not capture the reticle. What you need to do is have something small, but visible in the picture you capture. Put the cross hair on that object and snap the picture. Then when you "view" that picture later you can move the sights cross hair to sit over that object, effectively "zeroing" the sight. |

I'm assuming if you do this procedure at 50 yards, then it will be the same at 100 yards. Meaning if I zero my rifle at 100 yards, set the crosshairs low at 50 to achieve a 100 yard zero. Reason I select 50 yards, it's because it seems to be the sharpest picture quality for getting the zero precise. I used a hand warmer at 100 yards which got me pretty close, but not as clear as it would of been at 50 yards. So, if I want to use 50 yards to capture my image. Aim for bullseye and note how low the shots are at 50 and record that distance. You guys with a video cable, is it possible to download the photo, add a point of reference and upload the image back (maybe label that photo as a certain rifle) and it appear on the MK II? I don't have have a cable yet. still waiting on TNVC to deliver. |

You'll have to excuse me delirious, I'm not sure whether you're asking about zeroing your weapon by shooting or using the stored picture. If you are talking about using the stored picture, I don't believe it matters what the range was you used to capture the picture. All you are trying to do is have a known location in the picture that you can move the reticle to, the error in the actual Point Of Impact (POI) of rounds at the range the picture was taken is immaterial. For example, I believe you could zero at 200 yards and then put a heat source at 100 ft and snap a picture with the cross hairs directly centered on the heat source. Then, when you want to re-zero simply view that image and move the reticle to the center of the saved pictures heat source and you will have your 200 yard zero back. Of course, the ranges I picked are completely arbitrary. If I'm wrong, UNV will probably come back and correct my statements... |

I didn't know if variables like distance and zoom made a difference. If it's just the picture, then taking a picture of a heat source right in my garage will suffice. as long as there's a consistent point of reference. I really appreciate the explanation. Yes, I was referring to using the stored picture. how are your guys getting the pictures off the MK II? is that what the video cable does? is there some sort of USB connection? Or how does this work. To be honest, I got my unit and with the weather being so rainy lately, I haven't gotten to the deer lease to try it. (wet fields, I can't fill feeders) |

Is anyone using the Mark 2 Hunter as a clip on? If so can you please comment on what type of day optic you are using as well as how much magnification of the day optic is usable with Mark 2?
Also, do we know if any low-power variable scope will work in clip on mode provided it's mount places it exactly 1.5" above the rail? I thought I remembered hearing discussion of a list of compatible day optics? Maybe I missed seeing that list? My ideal scenario would be more to use the Hunter as a dedicated scope on one AR rifle and to use it as a clip on on a second AR rifle. Assuming the return to zero is acceptable on the non clip-on rifle. Thanks. |

It works. 1-2 power and you can still see most of the surrounding information. More than than that and you loose the menus. I'll never use it this way. It's heavy. But you can. Any variable power 1-4 or 1-6 will work provided the right height of 1.5 inches is achieved. You can scoot the scope the right distance from the IR hunter in it's mount to achieve the adequate distance between the two. |

I'll set up something different for another rifle so I can do the same thing. Otherwise I'll forget which is which |
Here's another way to get a hot point with basics. Spent case stuck into a card board box. Heat for 5 seconds. I did ten and it was too much. Aim for the black dot and then go mark the bullet hole as the point of impact with another spent case and heat it up. Then you have two hot points of reference for adjusting the reticle

Quoted: Here's my results. I heated a soldering iron and put it on top of a chair about 40 feet from my Caldwell shooting tripod in the garage to a chair in the kitchen http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/freedell/ar/2cc8a2e2b0a0900e6f40613075a8d5f8_zpse7ac24ea.jpg Soldering iron pointed at the rifle http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/freedell/ar/49042eac17471a5f932e1366407c9148_zpsde95c9f5.jpg Capture http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/freedell/ar/d8bddf8e2541a6fcbf29cbd33e16fc9a_zps87708781.jpg Another way to verify you POA would be to count clicks. Make sure to count your clicks on the same digital zoom level each time because the digital zoom level changes click values. 4X digital zoom on the 35mm MK II is .3 moa per click, which is close enough for my use. |
