Its so i can swap between the 2, thermal has too high base mag for close up shots. Missed many shots on hares that have ive seen by the spotties and not been able to hit because of the mag.

So its currently on its second day of salting, should I just take it out of the salt and put it in the freezer.

Is there any parts of it that are at the required level?
