[QUOTE="scheme, post: 2459548, member: 117961"] I haven’t gotten through all the posts, but this nails it. To add to the logic, consider potentially reduced accuracy compared to a traditional scope in the daylight. Are you getting a thermal with rangefinding capability? It’s tough to tell distance precisely enough for making a solid elevation call without it, or LOTS of experience. Even then, is that a big coyote at 400, or a smaller one at 300?… What about that grass, or tree limb or other unseen obstacle? I’m far from an expert at using a thermal, but it’s definitely a different game! All that said, I agree with as flat shooting cartridge as you can get. 22 creed or fast twist .22-250 would be good. I use a .223 or 6.5 Grendel AR and both work fine out to 200, and probably past if you can make the shot. [/QUOTE]
