I’m wanting to expand my night capabilities. I went hunting with a dude who had a thermal scope while I was wearing NVGs. He was like “hey do you see that deer over there?” I’m like “what deer.” This happened so much that it was actually kind of annoying and makes me wonder how many coyotes I’ve not seen because of this.
I’m curious on the whole one trick pony thermals compared to dedicated task thermals. Generally speaking, if you have something that does multiple roles, it’s mediocre at all them but never close to a dedicated unit. I like the idea of a clip on thermal that could double as a handheld spotter (Iray micro rico) but then it seems to lack when using past 200 yards in performance.
A dedicated clip on, although costs double the price, seems way better than a NV clip on and something like a multi role micro rico. The disadvantage there is I have to point my gun everywhere for detection.
In a ideal no cost matters world, I’d have NVGs for walking and thermal clip on for on the stand.
If it was thermal or NV (not both), would you get something like a micro rico or dedicated thermal clip on? I could see myself getting a quality PVS14 and thermal but not a nice thermal and dual tube NVGs.
