How far can I identify targets with the AGM Varmint V2 LRF 35-384?
You can detect heat signatures at 1,800 meters and clearly identify coyote-sized targets out to 400-500 yards, depending on environmental conditions and temperature differential.
Does the ballistic calculator work with subsonic ammunition?
Yes, the ballistic calculator accommodates subsonic loads. Input your muzzle velocity, ballistic coefficient, and zero range for accurate holdover recommendations at measured distances.
Can I use this thermal scope in heavy rain or snow?
Absolutely. The IP67 waterproof rating protects against submersion to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes, and thermal imaging penetrates rain, snow, and fog better than traditional night vision.
How long does the battery last in cold weather?
Expect approximately 5-6 hours of continuous use. Cold temperatures slightly reduce battery performance, so carry spare 18650 batteries for extended hunts in freezing conditions.
Is the laser rangefinder legal for hunting in my state?
Regulations vary by state and game species. Most states permit laser rangefinders for predator and varmint hunting, but restrict them for big game. Always verify local hunting regulations before use.
How do I quickly zero the AGM Varmint V2 LRF?
Use the one-shot zero feature: shoot at your target, freeze the image, then move the reticle crosshair to your point of impact. The scope automatically calculates and saves the correction.
Can I switch this scope between multiple rifles?
Yes, the scope stores five zeroing profiles. Save different zeros for each rifle, then simply select the appropriate profile when switching firearms without re-zeroing.
What's the difference between the Varmint V2 and Rattler V2?
The Varmint V2 adds an integrated laser rangefinder, ballistic calculator, and improved image processing compared to the Rattler V2, making it ideal for long-range thermal hunting applications.
