Did some hunting between the downpours.
1,000% humidity didn't stop the Rix L3 from performing.

Had some issues with corrupted video files on the RIX L3 thermal, but got it straightened out and was able to recover the recording of this Mus's demise.
Also switched over to RWS 8.2 pro line pellets.

Pro line pellets seem to be a good fit with the Barra.
These little guy's were trying to get something to eat before the storm arrived, little did they know that they didn't need to worry.

Sneaking through the fauna didn't help this Mus from getting the splat treatment.

This was one tough Mus, but it succumbed to lead poisoning shortly afterwards.

This one thought it was safe to be out in the rain.
The L3 has impressed me with it's performance in every type of weather condition.

Had a few minutes to see if anything was moving around.
Just enough time to end the night with a splat.

Someone shot a video with a thermal camera out on the city streets. Farts show up real good and women aren't afraid to crop dust strangers.

This mus must've thought I was on vacation.
In reality I was so pissed off with the inaccuracy of the PCP rifle that I removed + cleaned the barrel thoroughly to see it that would get it back to it's prior gnat ass shooting rifle status.
Mission accomplished.

After getting it back to gnat ass shooting accuracy again, I decided to test if sizing and weight sorting pellets had any bearing on maintaining that accuracy.
It turns out that my rifles accuracy only requires weight sorting of the pellets.
8 grains of German match grade formed lead is bad news for mus.

I will add more to this post when I use it more, but I'll give you my initial thoughts.
I own an Iray TH50c V2, that I think I paid something like 5800 dollars for. It's a 640 resolution thermal scope.
I just recently wanted a backup scope or a buddy scope. Plus another mono.
I ordered an AGM Taipan V2 15-384 mono, and a RIX Storm S3 35-384 scope. Both of these are 384 resolution.
The scope just came in like a half hour ago. Tried it in my living room, then took it out on the front porch. So like 15 mins worth of use.
I'm thinking I could have possibly scored big on this scope purchase. This damn thing seems as clear as my Iray 640.
So if anyone is in the market for a 384 thermal for cheap, buy a RIX Storm S3.
I've only used it for about 15 mins, but god-damn this thing is sweet.
Totally worth 1500 bucks
I would never buy anything less than a 384 resolution thermal, not worth the headache you will get when you realize you bought junk shit.

*** An update ***
The RIX Storm S3 is a sweet scope for 384 res, but it for sure isn't as clear as my Iray TH50.
My mistake,,, after looking through it past 200yds,,,, my 640 blows it out of the water.
I did sight it in and was hitting a 10-inch tall, 2 inch wide metal hinged plate at a 175yds. Hit it 4 out of 5 times.
Which is pretty good while using a thermal.
Zero on my 223 is 55 and second zero is 175.
The bullet goes up from 55 to a max of .9 inches high, before it drops to 175.
Scope is worth 1500 bucks all day long

My Rix L3 punches well above it's price point too, but it's decent for longer range shooting because of the ocular zoom feature.
It's going to be a rude awakening when I'll have to put the S60R back on my primary coyote rig and put the S2 back on the PCP rifle in September.
Such is life.
