    Hey Bayou Shooters, I'm looking to get a thermal scope (had way to much fun shooting hogs with a friend's) and it's something I've wanted for a while. I'm really looking at the ATN Thor HD 384 2-8x. So my questions for y'all

    1. Has anyone had experience with this scope personally and what are your thoughts?

    2. My budget is absolutely capped at $3000 (prefer to stay 2k if possible) any recommendations for scopes in this range?

    3. Anyone familiar with in state shops that handle lots of night vision or thermal? I'm in the Lake Charles area but travel to Shreveport fairly regularly and don't mind traveling along I-10 for good service and deals.

    Thanks for reading

    Have you checked out the FLIR line of scopes?

    And check with Interstate Guns. They are very knowledgeable and carry NV and thermal equipment.

    I've heard good things about the Pulsar HD38 which you could find in your price range. If you could find a way to increase your budget IR defense makes the best ones by a good bit.

    I can't find that many videos of the flir scopes in action and the ones I find don't seem much different from the atn just have a higher price tag.

    I'll check out that Pulsar, not familiar with it.

    The IR defense scopes looks really nice but I just can't see a way to increase my budget that much.
