Any decent thermal weapon sights in the $2500 range out there?  Buddy is looking for one for coyote hunting out to 300 yards or so.

Hogster. Gets the job done, doesn't break the bank.

I think the RiX Leap stuff is going to be hard to beat.

The Vibe already mentioned could take a coyote at 300 but it would be a stretch as it would be out of what I call comfortable shooting for a 2x, 384 resolution thermal. Again possible, but not comfortable. I would move up to the Super Hogster for shooting to 300 but you are then out of the OP price listed.

One of my jobs is testing thermals, and if anyone wants to hear my thoughts on brands and products, PM me and I will provide my insight. I do work for Night Goggles/TNVC which is an AR15 sponsor, but I don't get paid commissions, so I will shoot straight with you.

Save another 500ish and get a agm stingIR 640. Then you can scan with it and shoot with it, that’s if you are shooting 5.56.

Steiner S35 on sale for $2,500.

HERE

I ordered one and received it. It's very impressive, especially for the price tag.

PSA has had the Sighmark Wraith Thermal 2-16 384 on sale for $1500 with the quick connect.  

It was delivered yesterday.  Looks good although I have very little experience with thermal.  It looks as good or better than a $3k Fusion 384 loaner I've been playing with.
I'm not here because I make sound financial decisions.
