Dogs barking all bloody night long. Time that I help em out!
Also ordered a two stage trigger from Brownells. Geissele (sp?) on sale for 173.

Shoulda got a LaRue MBT, Jim.
You'll love night vision, though!

Yep - you'll love night vision. Gets spendy quick, though. But, it'll seem reasonable once you start into thermal.

I really would like to have some “quality” night scopes, both infrared and “starlight type”. But “quality”, is above my “pay grade”! memtb

You'll be really surprised at some of the stuff going on out there at night.

Wolves mainly.
Well, I think they are coyotes.....but the boy is convinced they are wolves.
Word on the street is that the normal daylight dying rabbit is actually coyote repellant now.
Vocalizations are becoming less effective.
Gonna try nighttime.

Uh oh. I made the assumption the trigger was for an AR, Jim. If not, what's it for?

Coyotes would hate an AR with an Aimpoint and a pvs14 if they knew what hit them....

No huge error there, the Geiselle is a nice trigger. The MBT is as good, in my humble opinion, though, and is about 90 bucks less.
Check out the AR forum and ask questions when you get ideas...there are a ton of guys who can advise you well in there!

That Sightmark Wraith looks interesting, you will have to give a rundown on how well it works. Our songdogs seem to be mia or really quiet lately, maybe the wolves ran them off. They are pretty good at keeping hidden during daylight, but normally party like rock stars after sunset.

Off subject, but when the dogs went out at O-dark 30 (about 7) this morning there was a big Horned owl sitting and hooting in the top of the spruce tree 20 feet in front of the stairs. I love those owl hoots, but.... This is not a good thing with an 8 lb Wiener pup..... and he seemed to know it. He stayed within a few feet of me while he lifted his leg, then headed straight back in. Fast! Eagles and owls and hawks. Wolves, coyotes, lynx, and bears.... we live in dangerous times! Night vision and firepower seem like a good thing to me!

Gonna try nighttime. Shssssh. . Try the woodpecker distress call. Keep the main beam above the horizon. Watch for eyes downwind. Only call when the wind is blowing toward a large downwind opening. Best to do when a sliver of new moon goes down just a bit after dark.
