Looking into a thermal scope

[peterk123]

I'm not looking to break the bank but also don't want something that will not do the job. I'd like to be able to use it on my AR for coyotes. I'd like to also be able use it on my 22 for raccoons and rabbits.

The Rattler v2 35-384 has popped up in my searches. Curious if anyone here has some feedback and if there are others I should be considering. I'd like to be able to take a coyote at 150 to 200 yards.

Thx Pete

My buddy has one and I have a Hogster. The Agm is usable and we’ve killed coyotes with it but the Hogster is much better imo. It will work for your use case but ID at 200 yards will be tougher.

I plan on getting a 640 50mm lrf when I upgrade.

I recently purchased a Rix Storm S3R. Similar specs to that Rattler (384 core) but has an onboard lrf. I’m a complete noob to thermals though, so don’t buy it because I did. I’m just throwing an option out there. It was suggested as being easy to use, and I like the lrf. I bought it to go on a nighttime coyote rifle; maybe to use occasionally on 22 for popping stuff around the chicken coop. I’ve only played with it in the backyard so far; haven’t shot or zeroed it yet.
