Thermal Scope with LRF vs monocular with LRF

[TWard]

Looking for advice...

Currently have a 384 scope without LRF. In the market to buy an optic with LRF. Currently shooting a 243 with 1" high at 100, dead on 200, 5.5 low at 300. Not interested in shooting past 250.

Would you buy a scope with LRF capabilites/ ballistics calculator AND monocular without LRF.

Or

Scope without LRF and a monocular with LRF. Knowing the gun is pretty flat shooting 0-250.

Either way the LRF is achieved, just thinking it through and difficult to decide.

I have LRF on both, but if choosing between the two, I'd prefer LRF in the scope. I use my scanner all the time, but once I have a predator coming in, I'll hop on the rifle and go from there. The ballistic software takes all the guesswork out. I was making shots on jack rabbits with ease to 400 last night with my 22 Creed.

LRF scope, get it all with OneLeaf and don't break the bank.

Are you guys running the same thermal sensor resolution on both scope and monocular? Or two separate?

My opinion would be to have as good or a better scanner than your scope, otherwise you’ll just be picking up the rifle. I run a helmet mounted monocular for initial spotting/nav and using my rifle scope to ID/range, but it’s not ideal for many reasons, so I just ordered a handheld spotter to use for that and the gun will be for shooting.

I have a 640 on both. When I started off, I had a cheaper Burris 384 res scanner and found myself using my scope to scan due to having a better picture and much better positive target ID capability.
