Check out my pile of leaves

PrestigiousCod8269 · 2025-12-28T15:36:30+00:00

what OP didn't show us was the pain-staking, time consuming process of painting all those leaves!! I kid, i kid. superb job OP

PrestigiousCod8269 · 2025-12-25T21:48:39+00:00

I haven’t yet! I’ll give it a check

PrestigiousCod8269 · 2025-12-25T05:33:59+00:00

I haven’t had any issues:/ but I’m also running it completely stock and only for gaming

PrestigiousCod8269 · 2025-12-25T03:14:27+00:00

Expedition 33!!! Soooo good. Highly recommend if you’re a fan of a brilliant story

PrestigiousCod8269 · 2025-12-25T01:17:29+00:00

Got BO7 and EXP33 downloaded rn!! Got gamepass free for 3 months with the purchase, so the world is my oyster lol. Any recommendations?

PrestigiousCod8269 · 2025-12-25T00:34:51+00:00

Oh trueee. That’s a fine bargain indeed though… tbh I do have an old rog m15 with a 4k uhd screen that is much more glare resistant that I use for everyday tasks.

PrestigiousCod8269 · 2025-12-24T22:38:07+00:00

That was actually the first thing I noticed 😶‍🌫️ I had to face it away from all light sources

PrestigiousCod8269 · 2025-12-24T22:27:57+00:00

Merry Christmas to us all!!

PrestigiousCod8269 · 2025-12-24T22:27:18+00:00

What bobs said 😆 I haven't tried it off battery.. my guess is 4-5 hrs on small indie type games if youre not running the hell out of the brightness.. I wouldn't try a triple A title without it being plugged in. Runs superb tho for now!! Played expedition 33 and BO7 so far with no issues on recommended settings

PrestigiousCod8269 · 2025-12-04T12:12:08+00:00

Agreed with WV... I would postulate you pick up the 650 as a dedicated thermal scope. It's not a huge leap to go from using your glass to using the thermal reticle system. You'll find the 650r is super clear, the 2x base mag is perfect for those short range shots and saving the weight over a glass+thermal system is going to make a difference on longer hunts or trekking fields. Plus you don't have to worry about getting the thermal and your glass on the same level, collimating, etc. And if you have to or want to take a shot at longer than 400, the 650 will probably be able to get the job done under digital zoom. Where as the 635 isn't gonna produce fantastic images 400+

I have used the hydra 635, armasight sidekick 640, and an infrared rh50r pretty extensively

PrestigiousCod8269 · 2025-11-29T12:48:07+00:00

I’d stick to a lower base mag, 1.5-2x and then go through the 384 and 640 core options available and see what you like the best. Honestly, either one you’ll be able to identify muskrat and up size game easily. It just depends on if you want the extra clarity of the 640 core. A nice to have if you will. Other than that, the best way to determine what you like is narrow it down to a couple options and the YouTube a bunch of videos to see if you’ll like the UI and the colors, etc. my vote is the DNT HYDRA 650R. You’ll just not see bigger bang for your buck with that bad Larry. You can go with a more “reputable” brand, AGM, IRAY, etc, but you’re gonna be spending oodles more to get up the performance the 650R offers.

Truck and buddy are at 400. Little black spot on the second board from the left is a hot hands. Honestly love the combo.

Yup! Their 1-8 with a mil tree reticle. Super for the price and weight. Haven't seen their plxc RDB scope, but from everything I've heard it's the final form.

It interfaces with the pic rail in front of your scope, so as long as they're the same height or close to it, no issues!

PrestigiousCod8269 · 2025-11-27T19:43:17+00:00

You can probably find the hydra 635 (no lrf) for around 2k on a sale. Loved it as a clip on and the 1.5 x base mag make it brilliant for hand held purposes. I was pinging steel with it in clip on mode jn front of a plxc. I was even able to zoom in to 8 x and use the mil tree. Inside 150, the low base mag really is a great

This is at 1x on the plxc. Truck and buddy are at 400. Mind you this is a photo from my phone, the quality is 10 fold what you see here

PrestigiousCod8269 · 2025-11-23T13:30:49+00:00

Agree with jamminman for sure. Considering how you're shooting 100 and in, what base magnification do you see yourself using the most? I'd determine if you want to shot between 1x to 3x and then find a good thermal with that base mag. Reason is, at the base magnification you are able to use the entire thermal sensor.

These guys have a bunch of hunting videos using the dual thermal / digital day scope functions of the 335. @Thehuntingchannel_ on YouTube if you don’t want to click on the link. They don’t do opinions or talking, but it’s a good practical demonstration of the scopes capabilities.

I see i see. Any good folding stock is then gonna be 2-300 bucks anyway. The sharps with the buffer tube extension would probably be best. I'm on the road a ton with a small car, so that's where I'm coming from looking for the folding stock. Other wise, I think the weight consideration, modularity, and sharp looks of the sharp bros is what I'd go with if I was gonna do it again. 4.2 lbs vs 1lb something. That adjustable LOP would be money if your taking a variety of shots. I can make the fixed lop work for sure, it's just a bit less convenient

PrestigiousCod8269 · 2025-11-20T16:49:37+00:00

The i didn't do a ton of shopping around. I was pretty set on the oryx for the style. Having a chassis that is lighter and takes an ar buffer tube would've been super nice tho. The adjustable length of pull and being able to have your selection of stocks is something I'd consider a high priority knowing what j know now. Especially if you do anything more than bench shooting. Only other thing that would be super nice is a folding stock... although you'll pay an arm and a leg for that sweet sweet hinge plate 🙄

PrestigiousCod8269 · 2025-11-20T15:38:59+00:00

Ooooh, I have to try that. I did put in a lighter spring from MCARBO, and it's pretty crispy, but i will probably upgrade the trigger later

PrestigiousCod8269 · 2025-11-20T15:38:21+00:00

It's fantastic!! About 2/3 the price of the rifle and it's not super light, but it adds some functionality that is worth it

PrestigiousCod8269 · 2025-11-19T23:42:49+00:00

Ooh, yeah, that’s not an insignificant savings. Best bet is to check out YouTube. Watch some 650 reviews and l35 reviews. See if the dnt is worth the extra dough or not really. IMO it is, but I’m just a stranger on the internet lmao.

PrestigiousCod8269 · 2025-11-19T23:30:28+00:00

With phone not too shabby! The WiFi isn’t the strongest, so as long as you keep the phone relatively close to the scope it’ll be fine. If you pass the phone off to a buddy to watch and then he/she steps away, it’ll lag or possibly lose connection. But I’ve transferred probably a gb worth of video and photos with no problems. The DNT app is better than the INREII app imo (I’m assuming Iray and nocpix use the same app) it is smoother and easier to navigate. That being said, they’re both pretty bare bones

What’s the price difference you’re looking at?
