Well after reading this entire post and experiencing the vocal entertainment at one point which was pretty entertaining
I ended up buying the Armasight Zeus 3x24x75mm 640 30hz with the battery pack. Got package deal 5600.00 and some change from optics planet.
I was really tied between the above device and the MK2 HUNTER 35mm which I could have got for 6173.00 after discount. Now if you remove that battery pack from the Zeus there was about 900.00 difference in price.
I do know one thing I got a major headache from all the reading and youtube videos I've watched
researching thermals.
But thanks guys for all your advice and imput and entertainment. I mean that in a good way
Now if atf would just send me my darn stamps so I can get my suppressors out of jail. Starting 7 months and counting
