    Night vision scope. Dumb question for you smart guys

    So I really should have a scope like a Sytong LRF 3-8 on one of my Contender barrels.
    It could be set up permanently for day
    /night use or in QD mounts with a change out conventional scope
    Either the 6.8 SPC or 30-30 would be good for 200m + on deer and wild sheep culling.
    But the advantage with the 30-30 would be that its pretty useful with sub sonics also

    Which brings me to my maybe dumb question

    In a unit like a Sytong LRF HT60 3-8 can you have it set up on a rifle and have two ( or more ) sighting set ups programmed into it ?
    One for your normal super sonic hunting ammo which is 250m capable in either caliber
    And the other for your sub sonic load which is 100m capable

    I have had an XP50 hand held thermal for years and it gets a lot of use with the animal control work I do.
    The 30-30 90 grain XTP subs are super accurate also so would double as a fun option for shooting possums

    Yep, have mine set up for different applications, PCP air rifle has varying power settings -- pigeons inside buildings, close stuff don't want to blow holes threw the iron roof, Sight A. On and on to max power setting and range out to 100m with a different reticule. Works Well

    FYI, I have a Pard 008 LRF If you want to handle/spend a few days with one of them. It would be good to see it set up on a TC as that’s it ultimate home!
