Low cost thermal

Another thing with the photon is they won't work in the woods worth a hoot. Too much IR reflection and wash etc. The photon work best in the wide open.
In the wet woods you will need the lowest onboard ir setting.

Don't forget an IR to mount on the side it will more than double the photons distance and they are only 40 bucks.
Yep, you should be in the game solid. Ain't no turnin back now lol!

I'm like a kid on xmas eve. I'm chomping at the bit. I actually bought a new rifle I was going to sight in and hunt with this weekend but now I'm just going to wait until I get the new scope since 243 ammo is so high! I'm going to run that superformance ammo in it and at 30 bucks a box I don't want to sight it in multiple times! How do you like the xsight? I was torn between that and the photon

a guy just spends over $2000 on equipment to pop a few stinky critters at night but is worried about spending $30 for a box of ammunition.

go figure. lol

Hahahahaha that is awesome I never thought about it that way. But really there's no point in sighting it in just to put a new scope on it 2 days later lol.
 
I'll be getting the Leupold LTO Tracker Thermal next week for scanning, which most of my scanning will be roughly 50 yards -/+ and I'll be using my ATN X-Sight which should work well with each other.
 
Just put 2 males down. One is pretty big. This is my first solo double ever. I was less than smooth fumbling between the xd19a and the rifle with my photon and probably should have taken more time on the shots. One made it about 15 yards into the brush against the creek and it took a few m9nutes to find him with the thermal but they are in the truck bed now.....You are in for some fun with your new set up on the way. Night hunting with thermal is just awesome......period!

I get it Wednesday. Hopefully sight it in Wednesday afternoon and have some fur on the ground Wednesday night. I'm guessing I'm going to have some rough mornings at work lol
 
congratulations by the way, do you take any footage while in the field? i havent purchased the dvr for the scope yet. i want to make sure i like it before digging any deeper in my pockets. i am sure i will love it but i will try it before i start researching dvrs.
 
I don't have a dvr. I wish I did but I am thinking I will own a Pulsar Trail xq38 before next fall and it will have audio and video built in.

I'm hoping that I will stay happy with my photon but I'm sure once I start using my thermal scanner it's going to make me want a thermal scope
