I was thinking about how this would work out scouting for game. Deer primarily. But the price is really steep and the resolution seems kind of poor. No magnification, etc.

I have to say, Im not in the market for one, so Im not up on pricing but iirc, the ones I remember from back a few years ago were up above $10k easy. These were ones used by contractors for looking for heat leakage, insulation gaps, etc in houses. I was surprised how portable and to me, affordable it was compared to what I remembered them being. I could just be way behind the times though, like I said I havent really been keeping tabs.

Is there any mil-surp stuff available thats a better quality or more for the money?

Let me say, these are the cats ass for night hunting. I've used one for coyotes. (There's not much I haven't tried). Expensive? Oh yeah. But they work very well.

I'm more tempted by the new $4K FLIR ThermoSight RS-32 with 320-19mm, magnification, and LaRue mount. Other resolutions available.

R-Series have a 2-year warranty, are recoil-rated for up to .308 semi-auto rifles.

Actually 240 x 180 is a common resolution for a thermal camera.

If you don't need the eyepiece form factor, for $995 you can get the bulkier [thread=231048]hackable E4[/thread] imager with 320x240.

I hear they are favored by Bigfoot hunters too.

FLIR is the shit, no doubt. We put one on our ship to spot potential man over board.

I think it was only 4k or so. You can pan it and zoom. I would love to mount one on my cupola on my house, slaved to a .30 cal of course.
