[QUOTE="huntercole, post: 2592046, member: 119359"] Don't get an ATN thermal. AGM rattler 35 or Bering hogster 35 will get you to a little over 200 for shooting. You'll be able to see critters way further. Pulsar is good too for a little more money. Obviously there's better stuff for even more money. I really like having a handheld thermal scanner so you don't have to hold your rifle and scan with that the entire time. Something like the AGM tiapan 19. If you want to stay on budget get a handheld thermal and a digital night vision scope with an upgraded ir illuminator. Something like the wraith 4k and sniper hog lights lr66x. I had the cheaper wraith hd for a while and it actually works very well for the price with the better ir. I just didn't like the narrow fov on the 4x. The 4k version is 3x I think. The negatives to digital nv for me were that you can't see through brush very well as the ir light reflects off and you just see the brush and not past it. The other is the contrast, it was sometimes hard to see a brown coyote on a brown picked bean field. You can typically see their eyes reflecting though. [/QUOTE]
