This can be moved to the night vision forum if needed, but since it’s thermal I wasn’t sure. Amazon has the the AGM TM160 thermal monocular on sale for $229 for a limited time. TM160 That’s 48% off of list price. I don’t need thermal but it sure is tempting at that price. |

Quoted: I've not been too impressed with amazon recently for any glass, much less thermal. I know it's not necessarily their "fault" but three fakes in the last few orders made me suspicious. Only going through authorized dealers at this point. Amazon has turned into an Alibaba/Temu clearing house. |

Quoted: I concur, the performance is uninspiring https://i.postimg.cc/g0XB1MyV/EZVZ0002.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/T2qH85b4/EZVZ0003.jpg Oof. For $229 I was considering grabbing one just to help me find downed deer at night, but those pics lead me to believe it wouldn't be much help... |
| I bought a PARD 384 from B&H to use as a scanner and compliment my IRAY thermal sight. They included one of these AGM TM 160's for free. It is not impressive. Especially after looking through the PARD or Iray. I would never buy one. You might be able to pick up a deer out to 100 yards or so but IDing the animal would be challenging. |

I bought one for a friend when Eurooptic had them for ~$400. To be fair those images were from maybe 50' away and during the day but they're really only useful for static observation. |
