Ya I saw that, $1360 is a really good price. I don't have any experience with euro optic and they're not on Athlons AD list. Not sure how legit it is. I wanted to buy from Camera Land but it's out of stock.
not sure if they have what you need
EuroOptic is an extremely reliable and well known vendor for optics. You can trust them.Ya I saw that, $1360 is a really good price. I don't have any experience with euro optic and they're not on Athlons AD list. Not sure how legit it is. I wanted to buy from Camera Land but it's out of stock.
I might have to pull the trigger on this one, I've been eyeing one of these for a 22 LR PRS build. ThanksEuroOptic is an extremely reliable and well known vendor for optics. You can trust them.
Please give the link. I had a $30 one in my Amazon cart, but after 2 months of waiting for delivery, I cancelled the order. I see some basic ones at HD for $25-35, and the 5+2 or 5+1+1 for closer to $50.At that point, you would be better served by traditional programmables, which are still available and can be had for free or near to it through mass save.
Still have one of those.You guys are crazy. Find a Honeywell round tstat with the mercury bulb inside. Blow the dust out every couple of years and it will still be keeping your great-grandchildren warm.
Call Chris, he can give you a good price on what you want.Anybody got a lead on Athlon optics black Friday deals? Looking to grab a Cronus with the aprs6 mil reticle. MK machining had a 25%off deal but only aprs1 reticles available
Nevermind, out of stock. God damn it!EuroOptic is an extremely reliable and well known vendor for optics. You can trust them.

I also have this mechanical programmable thermostat which I took out. It had all sorts of gears and things to make it work. It did work, but it was a pain to adjust. I was hoping for a wifi or bluetooth thermostat I could program by computer or phone easily, that does not connect to the Internet.
Thanks guys.
You can get the adapters for about $25 each. Discretely, it's just a resistor from common to the white wire...I'm sitting on three nests I got from mass save from last year. No damn c-wires though.
I think I saw those but they go into a nearby outlet?You can get the adapters for about $25 each. Discretely, it's just a resistor from common to the white wire...
Those look pretty nice. I need to check the dimensions. Nothing beats wool for warmth, except down. ;-pArcturus wool blankets (they also sell ghillie suits). I just bought 2 of them last week, normally $38 or $45 depending on the pattern or lack of it. I'm happy with them, might buy a couple more. Their Black Friday deal is 20% off everything on the website, and as always... orders over $50 ship free. I got my blankets within 2 days of ordering them. arcturusgear.com
Honeywell T5 (non-wifi version)That Lux 5/2 looks promising.
Again, just want the basics. But I don't want something cheap, that is going to crap out in less than 5 years.
Can you install and run those without connecting them to the Internet/WWW/cloud? Would like a programmable thermostat, and would be OK with programming it, and then disconnecting from network. Anyone know?
Smart thermostats draw more power than traditional designs. The easiest way to do this is to scavenge it from the 24 Vac system that carries your control signal.OK, I was ignoring the c-wire conversation, but now it looks like this Honeywell T5 might need a "c-wire".
So, what is it?

Honeywell thermostats for $10 to $20.
Yup, the whole town knows me.You shop at PDW? Man, you must stick out like Megan Fox's hammer thumb in your town when out and about.
You guys are getting me in trouble...I just got back from three months up visiting my son in Alaska. Walk through the door and my wife goes "what the hell have you been ordering online?!?" as she points to this absolute stack of boxes in the kitchen....I guess I kind of lost track of all the orders I placed... Oops!
I’ve been using this one for the last few years. Works great. I don’t have a C-wire so I have to run batteriesEmerson

I f****** hated my nestI have a pair of Nest thermostats in my home. They complain when anything is wrong: wifi disconnected, power isn't reliable on the c wire, etc.
It'll probably work without internet connection. But you won't gain any of the benefits of having smart devices - learning, optimizing to your schedule; remote controls and alerts, etc.
I've been talking with a colleague about trying to develop competitive devices that don't require phoning home, but it's a huge initial lift, and most of the market has demonstrated that it doesn't care enough about the difference.
There are optional tools to connect to your utility. I have no info about any back doors to be able to either confirm or deny.
I'm sure he's literally correct.
At that point, you would be better served by traditional programmables, which are still available and can be had for free or near to it through mass save.
Which model and what did you hate?I f****** hated my nest
