Sorry for my delayed response. No, I have not had any issues with it whatsoever. I have looked at getting a 640 scope but the more I look the more I have decided that I have the perfect scope for my type of hunting. With the 4x base magnification I don't need to zoom out to 200 yards and that is about as far as I would shoot anyway. I have owned 2 other AGM thermals before I finally settled on the Adder TS50. Never had any issues with the other 2 scope as well. I have viewed through other more expensive scopes and didn't see that they offered any advantage.

That is the distance that reticle is zeroed at. Each reticle can be zeroed at a different distance. Hope that helps.

I don't think you would notice any difference in clarity but the 4x base magnification of the TS50-384 is better suited for me.

Not calling, coyotes roam this area constantly. I was out last night until about 12:30am, saw one sneaking through the edge of the woods but couldn't get a shot. I had a Rattler TS35-384 and really liked it but the 4x base magnification on the Adder is a big help for my 65 yr old eyes. I also have a TS19-256 Rattler that I have removed the mount from and just use as a handheld scanner. I think the AGM scopes are great and would recommend to anyone wanting to get into thermal without spending $5k plus.

I agree, looked like a hit to me as well

Hi Deanna. I change settings depending on conditions at the time. Sometimes white hot looks better and sometimes black hot looks better and I will use different brightness settings depending on which color palette I am using. I also change from jungle or recognition for the same reason, sometimes one looks better over the other. In white hot mode I am usually around 3 brightness and 3 contrast and as I said that may change slightly depending on conditions. I really love the scope I have and hope you get much enjoyment out of yours. Happy Hunting!

Yes, I own 3 AGM thermals and the Adder is my favorite. I use a TS19-256 for a monocular spotter and a TS35-384 Rattler. The Adder is by far, at least for my hunting, better than the Rattler because of the 4x base magnification. Depending on the ranges you hunt you might want the Adder TS35 for a wider field of view but for my hunting the TS50 is perfect for me. Never had any issues with any of the scopes. They are all easy to use and easy to update. I don't think you will have any regrets with either Adder model you decide on.

@@TSByars alot of weird noises on the audio?

@@TheJosebd Yes, the gain on the microphone is way to high. The gun is actually suppressed but doesn't sound like it when recorded on the scope. I even have a piece of tape over the small hole for the mic. Maybe a future software update will fix this.

I did

Yes, for the kind of hunting I do this scope seems to be just what I needed. I had the AGM Rattler TS35-384 before I got this one and really liked that scope but the extra base magnification on the Adder really helps when the coyotes are out much past 100 yards. All of my shooting is inside of 200 yards and 95% of the shots are somewhere between 100 and 200. If your hunting ranges are 100 yards or less you might want to consider either one of the Rattlers or the Adder TS35 for the field of view. The Adder TS35 still has more base magnification than the Rattlers though. I do like the sound recording on the Adder and the Rattlers do not have that . The Adder TS50 works very well for my needs and I hope this has been of some help in your decision.....I've been in your same position trying to decide myself.

Thanks for the reply , I’m used to pulsar NV and downloading the videos from the scope to the app is quick and easy , How do you download your videos from your adder ?

@@paul-upstate-nyhunter7394 Downloading videos and pictures from the scope is very easy. I just connect to my computer with USB cable and drag and drop the files. Haven't tried to my phone but would imagine that would not be a problem.

I am using an Anderson Arms AR15 platform, handloaded 223 ammo with 55gr vmax bullets, self built suppressor registered with ATF form 1. For the distances I hunt (200yds and under) the AGM TS35-384 Rattler does an excellent job. I haven't hunted all summer due to the heat but plan on hunting this weekend for a bit here in north MS

I have had the scope since last November and it still impresses me every time I hunt with it. If you are going to be hunting inside of 200yds I think you will be very happy when you get it. The updates are very easy to install and I recommend that you check and install the latest update if it is not already in the scope. I used to coyote hunt with an X Sight 4k pro scope and killed many coyotes with that but have sold that scope now that I have the thermal. Shooting with it takes a little getting used to but I have shot at 9 coyotes since having this scope and killed 8 of them along with some fox and raccoons at ranges from 85 to 160 yards. Send me an update after you get the scope and let me know how you like it. Happy Hunting..............

@@TSByars that’s good to hear. Being in Michigan where I’m at I don’t do a lot of long range shooting. Max would be 300 yards and even then I don’t trust my skill. Under 200 would be perfect. Happy hunting

@@TSByars that’s really good to know. Thank you!

I live in north Mississippi and hunting mostly on our property behind our house. I have lost count over the years of the number of coyotes killed from this spot. Seems to be a endless supply. Scope mounted on a suppressed AR type 223.

Yes. I have not been hunting for about a month now because of the temperatures here but the scope continues to work well without any issues.

You will need to use a one piece mount base. I built mine so I wouldn't know where to tell you to look. I hope this helps.

I am figurine that out thank you

Hello Gary. Yes the X Sight has worked very well for me. I took a look at some of the dogs you have killed. Would love to try that sometime if I ever make it down under. Best regards

Thanks

+WORRO01 For the way I hunt it works great. I have had it for over a year and killed many coyotes with it. Most of my shots are 100 - 150 yards, the coyote in this last video was about 140 yards. I don't think it would work that well if you were in the woods or had other tall growth between you and your target. The ir light reflecting from other objects causes the automatic exposure to dim limiting your range. I works very well for me in an open field though. Hope this helps.

+T.S. Byars yes Sir, good information, and very helpful. Happy safe hunting to you!

The illuminator is one that I built. The one that comes with the scope will not work well at this distance.

Thanks! That one looks really nice and bright and appears to work well with your X-Sight. It fills the entire picture at that distance.

Like one of these from Ebay. www.ebay.com/itm/850nm-350mW-Near-IR-Dot-Laser-Module-Focusable-IR-Laser-Module-1-pcs-/251216047999?hash=item3a7da4af7f:g:ri0AAOxy2FZSSapb

The bait pile is about 135 yards from my stand so the first coyote was at the pile and the other was only about 3 or 4 yards closer. Using a suppressed 22-250.

+Lee Reed Yes it will warn you when the battery is low. With alkaline or rechargeable batteries you have a little time left when it comes on but with lithiums it will shut down pretty quick once the battery warning comes on. It will not allow you to make any videos when that comes on as well. You should be able to get the crosshairs to be clear for you when you adjust the eyepiece. You can do that even with the lens cap on, just turn it on and observe the crosshairs while turning the eyepiece to bring it in focus. You only have to adjust that once and then it is set for your eyes but someone else may have to re adjust it for them. I liked the red or green crosshairs but they seemed to glare to much so I have been using the black. You will have to try it to know which one works best for you. I want to know how the 3-12x works out for you and hope you can post a video or two with it. If you will email me I will give you some more information on some modifications that I have done as well as some pictures of my setup. (byars@comcast.net)

+Lee Reed I think that I did if it was concerning the use of a gen 2 system without illumination. If I did not respond then sorry about that but thank you for the information. Give me the name of your website again if you would?

tacticalthermal.net I got the 3x12 Xsight today. I just updated firmware. guess I'm gonna need glasses to use it man are the crosshairs blurry its rough getten old don't do it TS. not fun.

+Lee Reed The back eyepiece should be adjustable to make the crosshairs clear without glasses. Have you tried that?

+Lee Reed I work at a contract machining company in engineering Lee. I actually made a one piece picatinny type mount for my rifle. I see that Midway has a large variety of them but they are not cheap.

+Lee Reed Great and be sure to let me know how the 3-12x works out for you. I know what you mean about the grass reflecting the light back into the scope, also a light fog or rain mist ends my hunts. Thats where the thermal would be king but at a price that I just cannot justify......at least to my wife.

+Lee Reed To be honest the only time I have turned it on was just to see if it worked...and it did. I can see where it might be nice if you wanted to observe someones shot if you were sitting there with them but I also wonder what kind of extra drain it would create on the batteries. I was also wondering what distances you usually shoot. If they are 100 yards or less you may want to strongly consider the 3-12x model. I sometimes think I would have been better off with it instead of the 5-18x due to the lack of field. Most all of the shots in my videos are between a 100 and 150 yards.
