night binoculars

I've got a Gen 2 scope and I like it, but toting it around attached to a Larue .308 is cumbersome. I want my family and me to be able to look out over fields at night before getting a gun. What kind of thermal scope do you have and attached to what type gun?

Mine is on a Ruger sr 556, I want a an AR 10 to put it on but haven't decided on which one. Larue is a damn good one and made in Texas so it is on my list.

I think you'll be more pleased with thermal imaging. It'll help you spot animals that are obscured by cover or sitting still waaaaaay better than night vision. I use mine to spot small game as well. Squirrels, rabbits, coons cannot hide from it. I will use it detached during the day and just walk along spotting them, then pop them with my .22

Thanks very much..will search for your Thor first

Few hundred yards. I've shot out to 250 with no issue. The colder it is and the more heat contrast the better the range is. You can see heat signatures out to 1300 yrds, but there just blobs once they get too far away. I was playing one day and had a 4 pt scoped in at a little over 400. Could tell real well it was a deer, but could not see the rack til I got closer. It was real warm that day though. When it's cold, passive body heat will let you see what's on their heads.

Short answer-as far a you can shoot.

If I remember, I'll try and post some example pics from various distances.

HaHa..yeah, on the piss pics but would love to see some of your views
