I have the axion xq35 with the rangefinder and really like it. It seems it has a little bit better resolution than my thermion riflescope. I have a hard time judging distance with the thermal so I opted for the LRF viewer. Makes scanning a lot easier.

Thanks for the heads up on the Scout III deal, I picked one up too.
Haven't had it out in the field yet, but I'm very impressed just playing with it in the neighborhood.

You will love it for hunting!

Had it outside quite a few times so far. Going to work really well for what I want to do with it. Easily detect deer with it out to 6-700. Haven't been fox hunting yet.
If it had a better charging cable and external memory that you could save video to it would really be an awesome unit.
Can't wait until I can something to go on my gun as well.

The battery lasts a fair amount of time. We had our Scout III since they came out to the US Market and still last for as long as a night hunt.
I always carry a power pack with me for any electronics I use and can charge the Scout if needed. There are plenty of replacement USB cables really inexpensive.
Would be nice to have a memory card to record, but I just use it to detect animals then switch over to NV. There are plenty of Thermal Scopes with video capability.
Happy Hunting!

I can't geek out on this stuff. I just want equipment that works. After talking to guys that use their stuff harder than I do I bought a thermal scope (xq50 I think, new at the time) then after one night hog hunting knew I was buying a handheld scanner. Got another pulsar don't remember the model but it has built in laser rangefinder. Around the $3000 mark. Image quality with it is not as good as the scope but it serves its purpose well. I would find a local dealer and see if they have knowledgeable staff. That's worked well for me and their prices have been better than online outlets.
Any new releases for 2023? Been watching the Flir Scout III. Not sure how I missed it at Adorama, that's the lowest I've seen them
Just being based in NY doesn't make it a scam!!!! There's much more to this beautiful state than politics scammers and skyscrapers!!!!!! Weird all three are always somehow related huh!!!!!
I agree, The Finger Lakes has some of most beautiful sights, not to mention the wine that rivals that of Germany and France.
The InfiRay 19 Cabin is on my list now, any experience with this one?

I don't but it looks like a nice unit. I'm thinking about the Rico Alpha for my first scope in another year or 2.
I have an Iray Cabin 25 and believe that it is probably the best rig for that money. I have the Rico RL 42 rifle scope, and they make a great pair.
