Looking for something good enough to PID a coyote vs the neighbors dog out to 200 yards.

I'm partial to Pulsar products so I'll go with the Thermion 2 XP50 Pro. Add another grand if you want LRF. There are more deals showing up all the time with the really high definition scopes coming out.

I have one, great scope!  Next one will have a higher native resolution and LRF.  I live in the plains where distance is an issue.

Do you have one? Have you tried recharging the batteries with a small portable solar panel?
Looks good otherwise. I guess i could grab a sightmark wraith that uses cr123 batteries for a shtf consideration too.

I’m reviewing the Armasight Contractor 640 right now. Comes in closer to $6K, though. I’m pretty impressed so far.

Lightly used Nox 35 go for around 5k. That's what I did and I don't regret it one bit. If you will only have one thermal I think it's tough to beat for your intended use.

This is what I did. I’m very happy with my choice.
Picked up a lightly used NOX35 on the EE for under $5K.
Still had 3 years of warranty left on it.

Definitely fits OP’s requirements.

Any real downsides?

Yeah i should just buy once cry once on a all US made thermal scope and get a xrf.
Now the only question is where to buy new for the best deal?

If this will be your only thermal, I would look more at the Nox 35. I use mine as a scanner and throw it on my rifle when I see them come in. Scanning with the rifle for any period of time sucks and 3x base mag is a lot unless it's staying on the rifle.

If buying new I would call Euro Optic. Being a veteran they will give you a good deal.

Put QD mounts on it and rails on all rifles.  Use the normal scope in the day, thermal when dark.  Easy to use as a hand held then.  I use ADM recon's.

I do the same. The NOX 35 comes with an ADM mount. RTZ is excellent. Scanning with an XRF wouldn't be ideal though.

200 yards is easy with a NOX 35 and it makes for a better scanner. Just my .2

I have a Bering Optics Super Yoter LRF and it was about $5k after Arfcom discount through Night Goggles.

Too bad Bering Optics are made in Russia.

I've got the Super Yoter C - it's almost identical to the iRay CH50 Clip On. I always assumed Bering = Iray, not Russian?

CH50

Some of the Bering Optics products like the Yoters do use an iRay sensor.

Good to be wrong.  Search gone wrong.

I would definatly look at an Iray RH50R Mk2 for the features vs price. Street price is your budget.
