[QUOTE="packgoatguy, post: 2452433, member: 27192"] Just looking for some advice... So much to choose from with many new models coming out... I really don't need a thermal that will let me shoot a Coyote at 500 yards, rather my criteria would be; 1. Identify and shoot rabbits out to 100 yards. 2. Identify and shoot coyotes out to 200 yards. 3. For scouting purposes, merely see the heat signature from deer sized animals in open country out to 1500 yards. Option 1; a "clip on" style scope I could use to scan, and then mount on the front of my regular scope when I find the bunny I want to shoot. OR Option 2; a dedicated thermal scope mounted on the rifle, plus a second dedicated scanner thermal. I don't care much about features like onboard video recording or wifi... but I would like range finding capability to be built in. Also, the lighter weight the better (preferably under 16oz including batteries) This will be my first thermal, and probably not used more than 10-20 times a season, so the lower the price, the better. Mostly used for hunting jackrabbits, and pest coyotes in the blm behind our house. But sometimes used to help Identify deer bedding areas during the scouting season across canyons, etc. I will probably post an ad on the classifieds as well. if anyone has a used one they would be interested in trading for some other firearms.
