There's lots of good thermals out there. I've only looked through a few so can't give good recommendations.What glass do you recommend for shooting at night ?
...FWIW I know you were trying to be smart but you just sound dumb now.

Anything with alpha glass and BIG objectives, but I don't shoot at night.I was not asking about thermals, what scopes do you recommend for shooting at night ?
Top tier Alpha scopes are not expensive...they are priceless.
But they are not for everyone. It is all about the cost ÷ shots fired under it.
For some guys, a $1000 scope will equal to $10-20/shot fired. Or a $3500 scope might be up in that $35-70/shot fired (or more).
For me, a majority of my $3500+ scopes are running in that $2-4/shot range so far. Some less, some more...for now. I know I have two $3500 scopes that have to be less than $1/shot so far, and dropping.
I can honestly say that I can't fault the Spina scopes, but they do seem to get peoples blood boiling. The only reason I have posted my findings is to let people know how good they are, if they were junk I would say so without hesitation.
I was leery about the scopes to start with, but my confidence grew with each purchase, so much so that I even took the chance and bought a red dot. I have always had problems with red dots and this one was no exception, so I sent it back for a refund and left negative feedback about it. The seller said they are normally first class and I must have got a one off lemon, he wanted me to try another one but I had had enough of them. Anyway he kept on and on at me to try again, but I kept refusing, but he became even more insistent when he got a new line of solar powered red dots. I finally caved when he said I could have one free of charge. I should have it in a week.
Something tells me you're replying to someone that was on also participating on that threadI find this to be a fair review. Sounds like you disagree with his initial summary that they are worth what he paid.
Testing two Spina Optics scopes.
(Work in progress, ill finish this tomorrow as I need to retake some pictures and try somethings) I took delivery of two Spina optics scopes yesterday. Ordered from amazon, these came directly from China. 2-12x44...www.thehighroad.org

I haven't played enough with it but I'd imagine larger FOV and glass clarity would play into it.I was not asking about thermals, what scopes do you recommend for shooting at night ?
I don't mean to sound like a d¡(#, but did you sell a $1200 Vortex PST to get those 10 Spina scopes?I sold one old scope, and bought 10 new ones with the proceeds.
I tried scopes that I could not afford to try before. I now know I prefer scopes with FFP and side adjustable parallax with lockable turrets, and of course excellent glass. View attachment 547995
The bullet / cartridge/ barrel question is indeed a mystery. I have recently found one winning combination but is was by sheer luck rather than anything else
I sold a Leupold scope, and I sold another one just last Friday.I don't mean to sound like a d¡(#, but did you sell a $1200 Vortex PST to get those 10 Spina scopes?
You mention "excellent glass, FFP, etc.", but in a $105 dollar scope? Come on...
Wow, you got bells without the clapper and whistle without the pea/ball . Good deal then.I sold a Leupold scope, and I sold another one just last Friday.
I paid $ 195 Canadian ( about 144 US ) for the scope with the bells and whistles.
Yea, I wasn't just calling any athlon ares or vortex razor bino knock off junk. Sorry it came off that wayHahah I didn't realize they were that cheap, I thought we were talking $5-700 Chinese optics that might actually be "decent"
at that price I'd have to wager they are total junk, I'd like to look through one but no way I'm giving up any money to do so.
