My Thermal is on a QD mount, so it attaches to the neck lanyard rail, and when i want to shoot, i just use the QD mount to quickly release it and put it on my gun. I have a rail cover on my gun, so the thermal always goes back in the exact same spot, and i also got some glow in the dark tape from amazon that is on my gun showing me exactly where to put it quickly. Holds zero great every time. I've killed multiple coyotes this way.

    Just wanted to update this thread

    I've had it 10 months now? It's been *BEAT UP* and abused. It's gotten muddy. Rained on. Fell off the ATV as I was driving it up into a truck bed. It bounced out of the ATV, landed on the objective side on the rail of the truck bed and then fell down off the bed of the truck on the ground. Probably fell a total of 7 feet on to gravel.

    Nothin. I use it every single night to scan for coyotes or hogs in my pastures. It's been cycled on and off at least 300 times - maybe even double that.

    Still works. No dead pixels. Retains zero (even though I remove it every night for a scanner and put it back on when I see a coyote or hog)

    I'm beyond impressed, and I don't miss the $2000~ I would've saved by buying something cheaper.
    Why do the loudest do the least?

    Just to be clear because it has been awhile since I went through this thread, you are talking about the Nox 35 correct?
    Dr. Carter G. Woodson, “History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.”

    Thanks. It's great for being in the woods at night in case something (someone) gets in your business
