In this archived 12 Minute Talk, we break down my personal night vision setup for predator hunting when I’m not running visible lights.

This is the exact configuration I rely on for nighttime calling, built around an 18” 22 Creedmoor in a KRG chassis, and why I prefer scanning with thermal but shooting through night vision.

We cover:

• Why I choose 22 Creedmoor for a night rig

• Clip-on night vision vs. dedicated thermal optics

• White phosphor advantages

• Laser rangefinder placement and real-world use

• Illuminators and when they matter

• Why flat-shooting calibers are critical at night

• Practical field workflow for ranging and holds

This is a deep dive into the gear, reasoning, and lessons learned from running this system extensively in the field.
