    Got a hog Saturday night. Gun was shooting to the right the last time I shot it but I was so close to this one it didnt shoot very far to the right which resulted in a shot a little back. I should have just put another one in him when he was fluttering on the ground.

      Has a 3lb velocity trigger in it already. Not sure what you think your seeing where I am jerking it. Was shooting off a cheap pair of Cabela's shooting sticks. Not a clamp on style tripod so recoil is still noticable in the video. And on second group was basically free hand with elbow rested on the high seat only for a rest. Probably what you were seeing.

      Last group was probably 50 ish yds I would guess. First group we should have waited and let them get way closer but was first group and we were itching to shoot lol they were probably 100 ish starting out and getting further out as they ran. 2nd group was probably 100 ish as well going further as they got out. I suck at ranging with a thermal though so these are swags. That last group was close though I do know that and it sure helps get them killed when you are closer.

        A few videos from the past year. I finally got a video editing software so I am now able to remove the un needed footage.

        This video is from an Axion XM30 and does not show its true image quality. This hunt happened quick and I was working the call so I didn't have the objective lense focused and I couldn't tell you the last time I NUC'd it.



        Hog hunt. Shot it with a Ruger 204 32 grain. Shot placement is everything.

            Looking at buying the super Hogster. Was looking at outdoor legacy website and shows out of stock. Also saw where there was a back order spot for $100. So my question is do I select the $100 option to get on back order list. I’m assuming that the $100 is a deposit that will go towards the price of scope once it comes in. Guess I could just wait to give them a call Monday. Also does anyone one know how long the wait is on back order.

              I'm under the same assumption as I paid for the $100 backorder for a thermion yesterday.

                $100 is a deposit that gets you on the waiting list. You can call them and they’ll give you an idea of their best guess of how long the wait will be. Im not sure about the Super Hogster but they were guessing 12 weeks on the Thermion XQ38 and a little less on the XQ50 not to long ago but if you call or email, they’ll give you a real estimate.

                      I think you will be very happy with that scope. I love my Thermion XP50 and it shares all the same guts as a Trail. The picture quality is amazing.

I'm sorry I haven't been as active recently over here in this thread but we've had our busiest month....3 months....heck the busiest year (lol) and I've just been trying to keep my head above water. Heck even the hogs think I'm not as mad at them as I used to be but I'm still killing enough to let them know I haven't forgotten about them!

                          I had to spend almost all of my funds on another project, but as soon as I have a little more saved up (even as a down payment) I'm calling you

                            I just put a deposit on Super Hogster this morning. I will try and get in touch with you soon with some questions. Sounds like your phones are down at the moment due to snow. Look forward to talking with you in next day or two.

                              What made you choose the super over the 35 r? I’m kinda on the fence.

                                Aren't we still waiting on things Pulsar dropped last year to be readily available?
