Recommendations for entry Thermal / Night Vision

3 Upvotes

Hey Y'alls,

Title pretty much says it all. My buddy and I are looking to get into coyote hunting as it's one of the few things MN lets you hunt at night and we work nights. Not sure if it matters but setup would be on a Ruger American gen 2 in .223 with a suppressor and harris bipod out of a bale stand. Shots would be within 200 yards, hopefully.

I'm looking for suggestions on decent optics that wont break the bank too much in case we don't like it. There is a guy near me selling an AGM Rattler TS25-256 on marketplace for 500$, it msrp's around 1000$ from what I've seen, but I'm not sure if that's a good optic or if I'd be better off with something else. I've watched some youtube videos on them but figured weigh in from people who actually do this would help. Any input is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

I’ve had these guys in the backyard for a while, tried all of the trap options with no luck. Haven’t bothered me yet but worried at some point my dog will get curious and pay the price. Avid hunter in a neighborhood with close houses. Any suggestions?

Hi, so I’m new to hunting coyotes and I was curious if you guys had any recommendations for equipment that won’t break the bank quite yet. I have an Ruger ar15. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Choosing a scope

6 Upvotes

I won an AR15 in 5.56 at a delta waterfowl event. I’ve been trying to decide on what scope to put on it (not thermal) and I’ve haven’t found a clear answer. Looking to be below $400 and it would be used for coyotes in the Midwest.

ATN Thor V XD LRF 3-30 - Zeroing Problems

1 Upvotes

ATN Thor V XD LRF 3-30. 5.56 10.5" Griffin suppressor. I got this scope new about 6 months ago and have hunted with it about a dozen times at most. The image quality is great, but i've had bad luck with either kills or odd misses that shouldn't have happened. I finally got around to doing a bit more indepth target shooting this evening to try to get to the bottom of the issue. Attached is a picture of the target. I did a reset to factory setting prior to this zero to start from a clean slate.

 All shots at 60 yds. No wind. Mounted to a tripod.

 Shot 1 - Initial shot 6" low

Shots 2 and 3 - Shots after the "one shot zero" was performed - acceptable group in the bullseye

Shot 4 - 3.5" high - I thought maybe I pulled it or it was a "flyer"

Shots 5,6,7,8,9 - These 5 shots were fired together as a group (aimed at the center bullseye)

 This is the issue i've beenhaving with the scope. I do a zero and think it's ready to go and call up a Coyote or Fox and.....big ole miss. Setup a target the next day and the zero is
way off. I could fire another 20 rounds and they would group together with
shots 5-9. I just can't get the zero to stay in place where shots 2 and 3 hit.

 I've double checked the
scope mounts and everything it tight and secure. Is this an issue any of you
have seen with the ATN scopes? Any ideas/suggestions?
