Looking to pick up a Thermal for my kiddo to shoot hogs, but haven't done much research in a while. Only "must have" is integrated video recording. I'd like to stay around 3K, but that's a flexible number if it makes sense to go over or would love it even more to go under. Max shot distance would be about 100 yards. Gun is a suppressed 6.5 Grendel with a 8.5" barrel if that matters

This deal on europtic is pretty great and at your budget.

Love my Burris bts50

I want this one when it comes available.
It's just an attachment but that is better for me.

Are AGM Rattlers any good?

I have the TS 25-384.

Works great for what I use it for

These were all taken with it, and the image quality is actually better than it looks in video.

Agree on the rattler. Great at 100-150yds on hogs.. Also had an intermittent issue with the screen on my ts35. They couldn't replicate the issue but swapped with a brand new one anyways (I had video showing the issue). If you're in DFW it's hard to beat having their shop right there in case you do have an issue.

AGM Rattler is hard to beat for the price point / occasional use.

Sorry, didn't notice OP post date, hope you found something you like, left the post up in case anyone else is looking now.

Here you go, best 384x280 thermal

Disclaimer I have the early version of the xq35 pro and it is very nice.

Get the QD return to zero mount if you get one, an extra battery is also nice.
Extra benefit the pulsars are european not chinese and if you want cheaper still sightmark has a themal that is us made.

Ive heard good stuff about the sightmark thermals

I picked up an AGM Rattler from EyeGuy. Very pleased with it. As mentioned, hard to beat their quality/price point.

I ended up buying a Bering Super Yoter never mounted floor demo for the price of a Hogster. It's amazing

That XQ35 pro does look real nice esp at the price point
