I Aiming owners ?

Post by Die Judicii » 12 Oct 2022, 11:23 pm

Are there any I Aiming thermal scope owners out there ??

Am wondering what feedback there is on these,,, particularly in relation to the advertised/claimed One Shot Zero capabilities.
And,,,, ? value for $$$$ spent.

Given the right preparation conditions, a one shot zero is not too difficult.
What else makes them so good that you want to throw $$$ at them ??

I've got the 612.
1 shot sighting is close, but I still adjust it a but more.
Not cheap, but picture quality is mint

I spent some time with the importer checking out the Iaming 612 vs the Pulsar Thermion XP50.
Picture was good, took 18650 batteries (If I remember right). The battery compartment lid should have had a better setup.

I finally found some time to have a closer look at the sighting in procedure for my I Aming thermal scope since owning it I have never really Been super confident about the auto zeroing method ( even though this was one of the original selling point s that interested me ) ... I was toying with the manual zero method over the last couple of nights. I have often , when struggling with smart scopes been annoyed with all the technical procedure when sighting in . Ihaveoften thought why don’t they have two simple dials like conventional scopes ... that would be so much easier. Anyway , after looking at the scope recently I worked out that if upon zeroing you find poi does not match where u are pointing the reticle , you can simply dial in up 3.5 cm and right 5.5 cm and your done ... it’s a huge relief to know it’s goin to be that easy when i actually mount it to a rifle and zero it in the field

Centimetres? Does the scope know the distance you're zeroing at?

Yes , it has profiles for different calibres . So I selected 308 and it has different projectile weights choices within that caliber , and if the trajectory is significantly different in the load I’m useing to their trajectory you can adjust bullet drop at several different distances.. but all this is way too complicated for me so just intend zeroing my rifle at 200. So before I start I must let the scope know the range imsighting in at. Then it will automatically give me half centremetre clicks at 200 . I can set it first at 25 m if I like , just to get me on paper , so not waste ing ammo. . Fortunately my workload is finally under control. I only have a half days work on Monday then I can knock off and prepare for 7/10 /14 days on a hunting trip , so i can get this gear happening in the bush

Yes,,,, Thanks BLR for your input.
I've since decided not to go down the Iaiming pathway.
I've got other fish to fry at the current time.

Thats really strange.
Ive moved mine between my 17hmr, and .223 over a dozen times no issue.
I find my Iaiming 612 has far better optics than my pulsar axion monocular
