Thermal and 22LR combo for treed coon and others?

All three of your recommendations have base mag of 3 or larger which would be less than ideal for his typical close-range shots at Tree'd raccoons

Correct and agree. There’s just not many low base mag options out there in that price range.

Rattler V2 25-384 is 2X base mag, $1,795.

you can get a drop in 22LR conversion for your AR

OR

Get a bright ass flashlight. Eventually you find the eye shine sometimes it takes a few minutes

Eyeshine with an IR light and a suppressed 22 pistol under NODs are how I shoot most raccoons. Works well!

Every now and then I get one with thermal.
