Thank you!🙏

After using them both the RIX moves the screen closer to your eye. The clarion actually switches between a 35 and 60 mm lens. Clarion pro: is no loss in resolution. Con: blury between 35-60mm RIX pro: stays clear when zooming all the way through. Con: just basically zooms on the screen so there is some pixelation but not like digital zoom.

They just are not there yet. Hopefully they will have better options soon.

No American companies are making crazy profit margins. They do not have cheap labor, they have to design and innovate which cost money. China is good at making clones. Right now there isn’t anyone enforcing the laws to protect the non Chinese manufacturers. So they will remain cheap, and we will sell them. Chinese products will continue to sell and improve.

@@LoneStarBoars i feel like a lot of american "tactical" companies slap on hefty charges on things just because they sell to the government. They have lost touch with actual innovation and competition because they are so focused on the next big contract. Doesn't matter if it's radios going for $20k, ir-lasers going for $4k, Thermals going for $8k or bino tubes going for $8k. American made does stand for quality - but also a big F you upcharge because they can.

@@texasranger24 Just look at the Wilcox NVG mounts. A little piece of aluminum shouldn't cost $500. I call it the night vision tax.

Ok Todd, no more Asian jokes. 😂

Guess we will agree to disagree. Again the American and European companies spend a ton in research and development, only to be ripped off. But the current people in charge have no problems with this so here we are.

No

We are. We manufacture all of our Gen 3 night vision in the United States and all of our sales, marketing, operations, customer service and product development are based in the United States. The only thing that doesnt occur in the United States is thermal production. That was solely based in China but most of our new items are coming from a new facility in Vietnam. We opened a facility in Bulgaria a few years ago to run most of our European operations (sales & marketing, operations, customer service). We're hoping to begin manufacturing some new thermal units here in the U.S. as well before the end of this year.

@@AGMusa appreciate the clarification. if quality is the same, i'd take vietnamese over chinese any day. hopefully you don't make this info hard to find in product descriptions and packaging.

@@mattcomchoc2957 Products have to be marked where they are manufactured or imported from. But no brand that i'm aware of includes this in standard product descriptions. This is typically marked or stickered on the boxes or units themselves.

Because I argued against this very thing for a long time.

@@LoneStarBoars I blame Biden and inflation. It’s hard for a lot of people to pay the premium price for American products. It’s a slippery slope too. When American companies start losing market share they will lower the quality and price. They will also ship jobs overseas.

Boy you aren't lying, this was very disappointing to say the least. There is a reason why Tod had to think about it...he knew it wasn't right from a moral standpoint!

I have an iRay MK1 V2 and it kicks all kinds of ass.

@@shawnlewis1918definitely a kick in the nuts. But most people just do not care.

I think we can see this in nikki haley votes, one deep red state went 12% for her, while DeSantis 1.5% after both out I look at the tards in my company, it's just scary stoopid out here, and we have safety critical positions that involve the Public. @@LoneStarBoars

Yes they are.

The Communist Chinese suck!

It's hard to compete with Communist China human sweat shops....we should choose morals over cheaper pricing.

@@shawnlewis1918I 100% agree. I did my best not to sell them but the general population does not care.

@@LoneStarBoarsImagine how things would have turned out for our country if our forefathers had said "We tried our best to fight the British to save our country but most of the people didn't want to fight....so we caved in and let the British have America......" Just because MOST of Americans are ignorant to the subject doesn't mean that we should take the easy road. The Communist Chinese Party receives proceeds from these Chinese sales...that's how ALL business in China works.....that's what makes it Communist and they spend a LOT of f-ing money on propaganda in the USA especially to our youth at Universities...Tik Tok influencing and selling their sh*t ONLY helps them fund their Communist propaganda and weaponize information against the VERY country that spends money on their products! When is it enough....after we lose this great country? Everyone assumes that won't happen....look at Canada now...who would have thought Canada and it's citizens would be in the position it's in now? Do you think the Roman Empire would ever crumble? I bet they thought they would last forever as a society. It's just sad to see Americans not make a stand...it WILL be the reason whey we go down as a nation eventually...and who's watch will it be when that happens? Our generation has dropped the ball big time and let me tell you brother....the future generations aren't going to get any better at the rate we're going right now!

Yea me too.

I see most of the US companies being out of the civilian commercial market in the next couple of years. Only thing that will save them is the government enforcing anti China laws.

I can see that or Tod Heuy branded American made scopes. I am waiting you have been a Pinnacle of marketing and use.
