Thermal scope recommendations

Did you ever get the XL60? My XG50 is awesome. I can't imagine what the XL60 looks like

Not yet. I've been binging on winter gear and barely have time to open all the boxes.

My friend has one and its next level to look thru. Maybe don't look...

My hunting buddies and I run the XL60, XG60, and NocPix ACE S60R. All three are awesome and will kill coyotes equally effectively.

I bet you're losing opportunities on targets you aren't detecting.

I actually run the Desert Tech myself. It’s a pretty solid solution for night hunting. I use a 6 creed barrel chambered by Short Action Customs, and shoot the 80 ELDVTs.

A helmet setup is vastly superior to a handheld. You get far more uptime, which is the name of the game. I hunt with two other guys and we run dual thermal monoculars on helmets. Yes, it is heavy and sometimes annoying, but there is never a time when we are not on the glass. It is extremely effective. In the cold I run a thin balaclava under the helmet and a warm neck gaiter.

That's rare to get 2 of us in the same room. My gun has an SAC 223 kit and LRI did wild fluting to get the weight down.

You don't miss much with the helmet.
