I'm in the market for a thermal monocular. Anyone know of any BF deals? I'm currently leaning towards the AGM Taipan 15-256, but would maybe step up to the 15-384 if there's a great deal.

Take a look at Rix handheld. For the money they are hard to beat

Thank you. Have you used one of the models, and if so, which one?
Yeah i have the K2 & the taipan. I much prefer the K2. The K3 is a 384. I haven't used that one yet. I plan on picking it up soon. A 384 for $700 sounds awesome

Get the Rix K3. Much better than the AGM models. I’ve had a few. The K3 also fits in rangefinder pouches which is nice.

Preferably under $1k. My use case is game recovery
The only reason I asked is the new scopes have driven the price of the older 35mm 384 scopes way down. A 640 resolution scanner with a range finder is only $2500 now. Those older ones can be had for around $1000 now.

Buying a used 384 scope set up as a scanner will be way better vs the ones listed. I have a 2x 384 I use for getting in and out of my stand.

Thank you. I had not considered that option. Is there a particular brand, and how easy is it to pocket that size scope over a monocular?

And I suppose the scope gives me options for coyotes and pigs.
