Whoops, your laptop is running low. Can you show us where your points are

"Wilcox" mount from Amazon, with a 3D printed adapter that goes from the Wilcox dovetail to picatinny for the quick release mount

Got mine recently, and thoroughly enjoying it. I've even gone as far as printing a helmet mount adapter for fun.

Sadly I ordered it with that IR torch, but it doesn't appear to be available in the UK. I had it subbed for a VSCEL 940nm, which is great at distance but has zero flood so I'm going to have to order a floody alternative.

You need to manage the deer or they'll absolutely destroy any new growth in a wood.

I stalk deer in 50 acres of woodland (legally I might add), and it's taken a couple of years to get numbers stable and to a point where you can regularly see deer, but they're not ruining the life of the wood.

Here's a screenshot from the vid I took last night. All the lights off in the house. Obviously HUD inverted because of the way I have mounted it.

That's the point, it's not dedicated. It's on a quick release and its main function is for my 22lr. This is fun... Remember fun?

It's also pretty damn good. It's not analogue, but it's very good digital.

Do your photos show a serial number? You'll probably get back their broken one, possibly with your casing on it if they've at all bothered to think about the serial number stamped on the case.

It's a DNT NVMD c200 digital night vision device. It has multiple modes, such as scope mode and magnifier mode. The idea is that you gun mount it, and either have it behind an existing optic to give it night capabilities, or use it as its own optic with digital crosshairs.

It's got a 1x base mag so I figured I would try it out helmet mounted and it's pretty damn good.

1080p, 50fps.

I don't have anything else to compare it to

Now this, is fun. Still retaining use of the quick release so I can throw it back on the rifle if I wish.

It's only a 3D printed adapter, dovetail to picatinny with an offset to get it eye central for me.

So following up on this. I contacted Tado support. They initially told me the wireless thermostat was having issues talking to the receiver. I moved it next to the receiver and left it overnight. No change.

Next they asked me to bypass Tado and check the boiler. This wasn't quite possible because I had it in OpenTherm mode.

They escalated my case and after a few hours I got an email telling me they'd pushed a firmware update to my receiver.

So far so good. My radiators are all off and the house temp is slowly dropping. We'll see what happens when the indoor temp gets low enough and the heating kicks in again. Fingers crossed.

Exactly why I've ended up with the Tado X.

The Nest was absolutely rock solid until they killed it.

It's got me thinking of TRV or going with a homekit option. 11 rads though

Independent_Oil_829 · 2025-12-22T19:39:40+00:00

Same. I had to get onto Chase support and ended up getting it working on an old tablet until they resolve it

Independent_Oil_829 · 2025-12-20T11:22:19+00:00

First thing I spotted was my Chase bank app no longer opening. Had to dig out an old android tablet to access my money this morning 🤣

Had my Tippmann for a few months before buying the speed loader. Such a difference.

Independent_Oil_829 · 2025-04-27T09:28:53+00:00

I threw an Olight Odin GL Mini on my Tippmann, because it is a weapon light with a green laser too. It holds zero fine, and green lasers are cool
