anyone fool with thermal imagers?

Put a hand/foot warmer on a piece of card board and sight in on that!

A small square piece of aluminum foil with the bottom cupped in the center of your target on a sunny day will help get you zeroed in.

ATN Thor owner, 2015 vintage.

It is a 640 w/ a 100 mm objective.

I have thermaled a half dozen elk grazing at 3.5 miles under ideal conditions. I also picked up coyotes at 2500 yds.

I bought this unit used from a close friend who used it as the saleried predator control person for a local tribe.

Newer ATN units are said to be hit and miss so beware!

If I was going to buy today in the new market for a no nonsense unit, I would go with Trijicon. If I could afford that I would then look at Pulsar.

thermal rifle scope doesn't do us much good in mich. no shooting after sunset on game. Not even when we do crop damage shooting. Sure wish they allowed it though. Id spend the money in a heart beat.

They make weapon sights and monocular as well.

Your Governor and ours (Jay Inslee) are neck and neck tied 1st and 2nd place for most stupid executive in the nation. It is close but our idiot can not top yours with the “garden seed” ban!

You “win”

Tried it. It's too small. Commercially available thermal targets work great at short distances but not at 100 yds. I used one at 25 yds, sighted in 1.5" low for a 100 yd zero (according to Hornady's ballistic calculator). It wasn't even close.
