there are plenty of older scopes with crappy sensors by today's standards that can reach way out there due to their 50 to 75 mm lenses.. they also used to cost $7k ..
I wish manufacturers or after market guys would offer upgrades on older scope with giant lenses .. that's where the money was at .. just look at germanium lenses on ebay .. big ones are expensive !

Lastly the Pulsars are pretty easy to change nuc modes, you just have to find it in the menu.

not that i'm knocking chinese crap .. i just ordered an AGM mono for scanning .. the 60mm reap is sick though! but i won't upgrade to it , i prefer the field of view .

There is a building lag time between what you’re seeing on the screen vs what you’re actually pointing at. Sounds like it may be a rare issue, but he said iRay told him it’s 2%, and 1/50 isn’t good odds.
Go to 12:50 for his display lag test.
He says in a different video that he has mailed the unit to iRay so they can update the firmware or replace it.
iRay ended up providing an explanation in the comments of this video. The recording plays slightly faster than real time, which makes it looks like the phone recording and display is getting delayed.

Originally posted by TX03RUBI View PostThat’s exactly what it is. I hunt quite a bit. I’ve used mostly Pulsars and Trijicons, and I can assure you the auto nuk of the Pulsar isn’t an issue. I much prefer it’s adjustability (auto, semi, manual) to the only manual of Trijicon. That said both optics have their pros and cons, and the Trijicon has a superior image.Originally posted by imyomama View Posttotally disagree , I only used the pulsar once , didn't know how to disable auto nuk since it was a loaner from a friend and it was totally annoying. how much do you enjoy watching an amazon prime movie when the picture freezes every so often and buffers ... now imagine trying to take a shot while this is happening.... auto nuk sucks ! i don't care what anybody says.Originally posted by TX03RUBI View PostIt’s not the optics fault you can’t figure out how to disable it.

Been following this gentlemans youtube videos. Not sure what to think on it. His test was pretty interesting but I would say that it was not 100% scientific lol. But the reply about the recording being faster than what is shown in real time is concerning to me however I know nothing about electronics/programming/recording. All in all I dont know what to think other than I think it is more plausible that this guys gun might not be zero'd as good as he thinks it is which is causing the missed or misplaced shots.
