Really, it depends on your mission and if you can get steady resupply.

Thermal optics have lag

Can’t see through glass

Poor eye relief

Sparrow my baseline for a red dot is 150 to 200 minimum anything less is a range toy and not to be trusted

Unless you’re just like, hog hunting, I would go thermal spotter and then regular optic with analog NV on your gun

Or run fusion on your lid and a laser on your gun

I wouldn't use a thermal as a main optic personally. Not unless it's just for hunting, and night time. Great for spotting, that really all I'd want one for though.

I mean thermals are dope, but I use them for observation and identification, not as an aiming device

Okay, weapon mounted thermal for spotting or seperate device?

Separate device unless you have a dedicated thermal rifle like serious hog hunters

^

That would be my recommendation.

Hell, depending on how heavy you want that thing to be, you could put the thermal on an offset mount for spotting and then adjust from there. But that'd be unweildy.

Uhhhh

I mean I *guess* you could rig a FLIR breaxh lije that

Yeah... that's a possibility....

Sounds very call of duty lmao

Hahaha, screw it. Buy a Reap IR

With all that said, any reccomendations for thermal spotting scopes?

Bruh for that money you could get a pvs14 and a ecoti

Hahaha, I know. The Reap IR thing was a joke.

That's for them rich boys.

Just grab your PAS-28, throw it on the tripod on top of your spotting scope, hook it into your tough book, grab a 152, snag a satcom slot and stream it to the COC, it’s not that hard guys

If I knew what anything in that sentence meant I might have gotten the joke

Sorry haha

If I wanted thermals I would snag a used FLIR breach or PTS22something

Lmao, hahaha. Yeah, sorry.

Used Leopold LTO is very afforabdle for a having thermal capabilities

Not great res and range tho

As an ambi shooter I considered running a standard weapon sight and a thermal monocular on my "off eye" for spotting and aiming

That’s a possibility

Oh you could do that if you wanted. But the real problem comes in then on... how are you gonna aim?

Or are you planning on using thermals in day time?

Anyone need budget vests?

Using my off eye with the thermal to spot and using my other eye to aim the rifle

Just put in the Geissele SSA-E trigger and the LWRC skirmish sights (BUIS)

And I’m in love

Very respectable to both of you

I wouldn't trust a wish vest...
