Pretty much yes. We set the bolt off the target though with a couple of nuts and washers that set the bolt head away about an inch. This makes it easy to heat up just the head for much more pronounced edges. Works really well, and kind of mad we didn’t think of it sooner. We’ve been beating that plate up for 5-6 years, and have been using it as a thermal sighted for 2 years now.

****it I’m kinda mad. I had to turn down hunting last night to be responsible, and a couple of my buddies had an epic night!

Most nights we turn out 20-25 hogs. Our best to date was 41-42 a couple weeks back. They got 52 last night.Originally posted by Pushbutton2 View PostComment

My Sightmark Wraith arrived today. I have owned the Sightmark XT, Sightmark RT, and now a Wraith so I feel like I probably have a good perspective on each. As it isn't night yet, I've only played with daytime mode, but that is a HUGE improvement over the XT and RT. Both could be used during the day but it was far from even a budget level scope. The daytime on the Wraith is far clearer (and in color vs. black and white). I have no trouble seeing out to 200 with a crystal clear image that, once focused, would provide plenty of daytime hunting clarity. There is what I believe is called "tearing" where when panning from side to side, vertical images bend. I know people complain about tearing (there was very little on an RT) but who is panning when they shoot? Once on target it is a non-issue and you have to be panning fairly quickly back and forth to see the effect. To me it is pointless to complain about this issue.
I'll come back after I've played around a bit tonight to see the clarity of night vision side of things. I'll rarely shoot beyond 100 yards as the deer and hogs will come in quite a bit closer than that and I want to try my .300 BO with 260 grain atomics in subsonic with a supressor so that's where the scope will get its first tryout... I'm zeroed to 75 with the .300...
So far, I'm impressed even though I'm going to miss the live streaming app side of things immensely.Comment

Sierra Game Kinged
I've typically stayed away from Sierra bullets for hogs only because they've had a history of rapid expansion which I do not prefer on hogs. Since someone shipped me an entire box I decided to give these a run.
Even though this was a small sow it passed right through her and melted her in the dirt. Gonna give the 140's a run soon.
Giving away 30 rounds of this for you reloaders.

I let my buddy run my rifle last night, and he put a 77 gr SMK through a sows shoulder clean through and through at roughly 75 yds. Dropped her on the spot. She was roughly 175-180. We got a couple more including a 280 lb boar that tried to take out my buddies legs. He nailed my buddy’s tripod instead lolOriginally posted by Zen Archery View PostI've typically stayed away from Sierra bullets for hogs only because they've had a history of rapid expansion which I do not prefer on hogs.
