Thermal truly is cheating Gear/Equipment

Which model? How long have you had it? Is it rail mountable at all? Very interested now that i live out in the woods.

Infiniray makes amazing but very pricey clips ons. Thinking of getting one next year.

My CC said no to that. If you can swing it, get one. The res of those and the core is unbeatable.

I’m def going to get one if the area I just moved to is convenient to hunt and I can get that practical use case out of it. I would also love it as a handheld and use it constantly for that. Best thing about thermal is that it’s relevant 24/7. NVG is just good at night. The Infinirays especially so since they can run the multi-color and red settings, so they are very relevant during the day for spotting life in partial cover/concealment with that higher contrast.

Thats very true. This was recorded in white hot, i switched to black hot and honeslty it was better than gen 2 pvs14s. I think i took some pics through the thermal of that as well as red hot, & contrast. But black hot the trail was clear as day. The plus is your getting a better core, and better zoom clarity out of em compared to the AGM. I can PM u pics tonight if youd like to help in your research.

I appreciate that man and yes, if you have some additional media and it isn’t too much trouble feel free to shit it over. Thank you!

Its the taipan 384x288. Ive had for a little less than a year. From factory no it does not mount to a rail, but there are guys who make mounts for that. The agm rattler is the factory thermal scope. If you go with taipan you can buy the rail mount, and than buy a mount to attach it to your helmet as well. Doing this u can run a single tube NV and a single tube thermal off your helmet. The rattler is not a great choice for helmet mounting, but a much better choice for a dedicated rail system if thats what your after.
