    Sytong XM06-50LRF who has one?

    Morning,

    Starting to consider options for pest control. Mainly small game but potential to swap between rifles for bigger animals.
    I have trialed the Hikmicro Panther 2.0 and a friend mentioned how happy he is with his Sytong hand held thermal.
    Unfortunately i missed Ken at the Wanaka show so hoping someone on here might have one in the Lower South Island i could come take a look through?

    Cheers

    I am keen on Sytong XM06-50LRF too. Anyone who owns one care to share a review? I am using sub-sonic 22lr ammo for pest control, so particularly interested in the Ballistic calculations feature. How accurate? Thanks.

    I did these ballistics with the Sytong AM06-50LRF today. The AM range is Sytongs more affordable thermal scopes but features the ballistic calculator of the XM range and an 800m LRF.
    I sighted in 22lr subsonic to 50m.
    placed pinecones on stumps at 92m and 109m
    placed the LRF on the first pinecone using the square [] reticle. locked the distance and placed the ballistic holdover point on the pine cone and shot it. did the same again with the 109m pine cone.

    I have the AM03-50lrf and rate it. Shot 6 deer 2 weeks ago ranging from 210 to 345m using g the built in lrf and ballistics calculator on a 300wsm. I have also used it on rabbits on my 223 out to 315m. The ballistics are pretty good. I sorted the bc so can now hit well out to 500m with easy. Nice and clear thermal too

    Thanks for the video. I could not see the ballistic holdover point on the video clip. Is it not recorded?

    No the balistic holdover point isn’t recorded.
