Going to try a Nomadic Pirate. I have my night vision clip on set up to attach to my scope and hope to take a pig. I also will have plenty of time to shoot it and get educated on how it performs. Hopefully this will allow me to get a good head shot on a pig under 60 yards.

Just got my standard 30 cal this week. It is shooting consistently at 890fps. Only varies about 2fps. Have only shot it about 60 times. Just getting the scope dialed in and poi vs yardage figured out. I did put a radioshack decibel meter one foot in front and one foot to the right at a 45 degree angel.

I have been pig and coyote hunting with it for the past 3 years. What I like the most about it is the ability to “clip” it on any of my day scopes. Most of my rifles use acog’s and if they co-witness at the same height then there is very little degradation of accuracy. I just attach it on the picatinny rail in front of my scopes. Mine…Read more

It looks like it will depend on how high my scope mount is. I tried to upload a pic of it on my 22 cal R3 but the site said I have reached my posting limit for attachment.

I do not want to lower my scope. Currently my scope sits 2.4″ above the barrel axis. About 40mm above the rail. This does allow a comfortable cheek weld.

If you extended the scope rail would it clear the moderator? Trying to understand the clearance it has forward of the scope rail. Especially since the rail angles down toward the barrel axis.

Thanks for the pic. But it is hard to know if the modulator ends up being higher than the rail (the rail is some many moa sloped downward). I want to try to keep my scope axis as close to the bore as possible. My night vision will make this more difficult.

Does moderator meet or exceed the height of scope rail? I am considering my options for optics. I know the scope rail is sloped and the new moderator sits higher on the .30s.

When I shined them through the diffuser (the one you use on bright sunny days) I got consistent readings. The readings matched my friend’s chrony also. The speeds and POI also matched the ChairGun graph fairly well.

Yes, those are the “Larry” ‘s I use. They work great. Battery powered and useful for may low light situations. I end up placing them on the sunlight shield, shinning down through the diffuser. Too much light will mess with chrono.
