Thread: Thermal scope setup for deer?

Old man does this stuff for a living, mostly wallabies, pigs and small game but some deer if the farmer doesnt want to use the chopper he'll do it on foot with the thermal. Has three setups, one a AR with XP50 on it (he had this setup on a 8" twist T3 while all the waiting on P licence etc) one another XP50 on a Ruger M77 that's been rebarelled to 7.62x39, and a Excel Arms accelerator in 22wmr with a XQ38 on it. Took him a while to come round to using thermal but they have paid for themselves pretty quickly.
