I'm thinking of burning off my "Free" money from Trump on a thermal scope. It will have to be very near $1200.
I found a few for that price but the reviews where not stellar.
I may do it anyway, the cheap ones do not record. I guess I can do without that. I'd use it on the 22/250 or 6mm.
Do you have any thoughts or pitfalls you know of?
I could share it with the kids too.

I have an NV scope that clips on in front of my mounted daytime scope. I would look for a similar kind of setup for thermal (flir). That way all you need is the mounting apparatus to swap gun to gun and P.O.A. isn't changed at all.

Already been done. Going to be paying for it for the rest of my life.
Might as well use it for something I would never buy on my own, and FUN.Confused
