Thermal technology is incredible for sure, but I’d hate to have to hump that much weight around on my rifle.
Most likely it is a QD clip-on, that is one reason the FLIR Clip-on Thermals are so great, two seconds to remove or add on with zero POI change.
Outstanding!!! I would really like to know how heavy this thing is. You just can’t really justify spending that much until you have it in your possession.
The FLIR T-50 Thermal weighs 23 ounces with batteries, lens covers, and QD mount complete.
It is a bit lighter than the FLIR T-60 Thermal with the LaRue QD mount, batteries, and lens covers (29 ounces)…
You can actually my game cam on the tree up about four feet or so from the ground…
Whelp, it was raining again tonight but the mosquitoes were not so bad. We went out and check two different spots that we have been monitoring for hog signs and nailed a hog at each spot.
First spot was near a feeder we had hiked out about a mile to and spotted this boar out about 300 yards with the FLIR PS-32 and sneaked in closer to get a line on him, finally layed down on the wet ground to get a good prone shot since it was 150 yards out, turned on the FLIR T-50 and shot him through the lungs with a Barnes 70 grain TSX, he went about 25 feet and collapsed.
Walked back to the truck and drove in and loaded up this boar and then left and drove a couple miles over to another spot we have set up a live trap, feeder, and stand.
Rain was still drizzling and real quiet with no wind. Was on the stand for about two hours when I saw this sow cross over a jeep trail about 1/4 mile out. Waited another good hour and was about to leave to head home when I noticed some faint thermal images with the FLIR PS-32 in a dense thicket about 100 yards out, could not tell what it was but figured it was a coon since a family of seven coons had been going in and out of the live trap.
Walked over to the thicket and turned on the FLIR T-50 and saw the outline of a hog in the thick woods but could not see anything with the PVS-14 and IR Illuminators, put the ACOG crosshairs on the lungs and did a Double Tap since the woods were so thick there I did not want to be trying to walk
around trying to find a dead hog in a dense underbrush. Hog made it about ten feet and dropped dead! Had to drag it out of the thicket about 50 feet to the trail.
The FLIR T-50 is one bad arse instrument that brings home the bacon!:dance3:
Another one bit the dust last night…the damn FLIR is just awesome!
Hmmm, no one even caught the symbolism in this photo?
BUSH HOG 
The FlIR just Mows Them Down!
What advantages does a Thermal System like this have against a standard NV system? Like a PVS-14, or L3 CNVD system.
It is the icing on the cake.
Was in the backyard tonight after sunset with the FoxPro Prairie Blaster setup playing “Cow Tip Cotton Tail”.
Had the caller around 60 feet out in front of me hanging on a pine tree about four feet off the ground.
I had just started calling from my stand and within 30 seconds I noticed a heat signature about 250 yards out with the FLIR PS-32, immediately switched over to the FLIR T-50 Thermal Weapon Sight and zeroed in on this nice Bobcat. He slowly came in over a period of about 15 minutes and finally sat down on the edge of the tree canopy 150 yards out so that I could take aim at him.
Shot him once through the heart and he jumped about five feet in the air about a dozen times and ran 25 feet or so and died.
Too bad I did not have the video camera hooked up…
Nailed a nice sow with the FLIR using Barnes 70gr TSX handloads, one shot below the ear, DRT. She was well fed on the fresh crop of acorn mast rooting in a live oak hardwood hammock…
Well, perseverance off! I have been after this dog all week now…
Was out with my FoxPro Prairie Blaster playing CowTip Cottontail @ 10:15PM and 30 seconds after I turned on the caller this nice furry 'yote came charging in out of the deep woods.
Picked his thermal image up with the FLIR PS 32 and turned on the FLIR T-50 and shot him once through the heart @ 150 yards with a handloaded Barnes 70gr. TSX.
