Thermal scope

[marioq]

Just buy an AR 10 in 308. I want to get a thermal scope for it. I would like to record through the scope of possible. I know nothing of any of the thermal scope out there nor what product is a good product. Anybody who can help would be greatly appreciated.
Just for clarification, I have a DPMS LRT SASS
THANKS

It's all going to come down to price range and distance you intend to shoot.
IMHO for most night hunting applications under 150 yards even low end models are doable. But the bonus of getting middle to higher end models is spotting your query from extended distance.
Low ends are generally 2-3k
Middle range 3-6k
High end 6K+

Mario please let me tag along. My brother has the same rifle and wants to do the same thing. Plus what do you use for a spotter? Thanks?

 

[marioq]

I don't have a spotter. I just want to look at night with my gun

Don't know if you can move it. Just start a new post. Pm may be the best way he was very helpful when I was looking.

Did anyone get any feed back or buy a thermal scope? Getting ready to spend some money on an Armasight Zeuss Pro and would like a little help before spending a small fortune.

I haven't yet but that's what I am looking at too. Call Steve at armasight. He was giving me a great deal

I am looking at the Zeus 640 3-24x75 (60Hz), what about you?

Contact for Steve?

 

[marioq]

Call armasight. He is in sales.

He is a wealth of knowledge. I thought same thing. 60 HS is better he said that for hunting 30 is fine and cheaper.

Looking at the atn thor HD

Haven't been out long enough for any reviews

But I am keeping an eye on this one

I have serveral thermal scopes.

I have an ATN Thor, two Zeus Pros, and an IR Hunter.

I would go with one of the Zeus models. I purchased the Thor first, and while it works, it does not really compare with the Zeus models. I cannot capture video on the Thor but I can with both Zeus models. The Zeus models can handle higher caliber than .308's, so they are mover versatile. I am more impressed with the image quality with the Zeus compared to the Thor.

ATN's customer service is spotty. I had to send my ATN Tico Thermal clip on several months ago, and Carlos was very good to work with.

Is there much difference in the Zeus Pro and the regular Zeus?
