    Thermal Scope

    This has probably been asked before but any way.... Looking for recommendations on a cheapish but decent thermal scope. I already run the Hikmicro fq50 and am now wanting to pair it with a decent thermal scope for night hunting. Not really wanting to drop 9k-10k on a pulsar thermion xp50! Have heard mixed reviews on the Hickmicros scopes. Pard?? Any advice would be much appreciated.

    I've got a PARD TD 32 (day/night/thermal + range finder and ballistics) which I'm really happy with
    If my work annoys me, I cull them

    I recently used a Sytong xm06-50 lrf. Very good unit with clear image.

    Sounds like the sytongs are getting some good feed back. Seem reasonably priced as well. Will definitely look into them. Cheers

    Just saw a video on these... They have some pretty awesome tech... and it all makes sense. How do you find it for daytime shooting, and grouping?

    Grouping is fine.

    For purely day shooting, a good conventional is better as it's a little clearer and you have a range of magnification options, rather than 2. The range finder and ballistics calculation is pretty handy though

    Chinese but dont let that put you off.
    Very well made/solid.
    Mate has a equivalent pulsar and hikmicro, the sytong has better definition.
    Big plus is it runs on 18650 batteries.
    Has all the bells and whistles for better price.

    China make the best thermals now. Their development in sensor technology has leap frogged everyone else. They also lead the field when it comes to new features such as LRF and ballistics.
