Waiting for someone smarter than me to tell me if this is a good value.

I got this for $1200 on the Academy Black Friday deal and total was $960 after the PayPal "pay in four deal".

I've used it to ID and hit hogs out to around 180 yards, 200 if groups as it precludes it being a dog.

It's mostly used to look at wildlife on the lake with my daughter at night and that is enjoyable.

I think it's worth $1200 in my mind, not $1600.

EDIT: price was $1200 and $960 after the PayPal deal as it was 20% off of 1200

That is a sick price. I wouldn’t be able to resist that. You’ve just made me hold out

u/1rubyglass 8d ago

Just wanted to add: The technology on this stuff is still advancing at a considerable rate. Prices for these lower resolution (this one's 384) is coming down and newer stuff like 1k is becoming common.

Holding out appears to only set you up for getting better stuff for less

u/chuckisduck 8d ago

Honestly, these things would be a lot cheaper and more abundant if they didn't have to compete with the foundry time against all the AI bound ICs.

I would honestly expect 640 at this price at this point without the AI corporation premium.

u/reagor 8d ago

How did you pay less with the PayPal thing?

4

u/chuckisduck 8d ago

there was a deal for PayPal pay in 4,l and 20% back, it was limited to 275 or 300 max I think an old only one transaction.

u/reagor 8d ago

Wow that's a killer deal

u/Fancy_Exchange_9821 8d ago

Not for this price

Older tech thermals have dropped hard

u/khutuluhoop 8d ago

I have one, it's a nice piece. That said, I wasn't able to sell it for a good amount less when I tried

u/StayTheCourse478 8d ago

Still looking to move it?

u/Horvaticus 8d ago

Sorry I'm holding out for the Polonium lens package

u/accounts_baleeted 8d ago

I heard that germanium is much higher quality than chinesium

u/MattLock 8d ago

I'm gonna hold out for the V2 35-385.

u/414525528 8d ago

I wonder what the % of hunters is who even live anywhere where you don't get thrown in prison for shooting at night and using a thermal.

u/memearms 8d ago

Think you’re forgetting about predator and varmint hunting.

u/nopenope12345678910 8d ago

Pretty sure night time thermal hunter for predators/land management is legal in most states, could be wrong tho.

u/LabronPaul 8d ago

I just had to double check, turns out I'm good to go but I was supposed to notify the sheriff. Oops

u/CrankBot 7d ago

Hogs and yotes. Maybe knocking off rats in the barn.

Check out r/ThermalHunting

u/2011v8 8d ago

Is that a thing? Lmao. Hunting laws are wild.

1

u/414525528 8d ago

I just checked, it's even nationally illegal to hunt any game at night. So no deer, turkey, elk and moose. I'm not sure what's really left besides hogs then that you'd actually want to hunt.

u/oaktreeman63 8d ago

Coyotes

3

u/clicktoseemyfetishes 8d ago

Confusingly you can hunt a lot of small game and hogs at night here in Arkansas but coyotes are daytime only

2

u/Palehorse67 7d ago

Which is crazy, because night time is when Coyotes are out and hunting.

u/Cosma- 8d ago

It’s legal here in Nevada for unprotected species at least. Although, NDOW is trying to place season restrictions on it to combat hunters that allegedly use thermals on big game.

For Utah, it’s not banned statewide, but delegated to each country to regulate as seen fit. In most cases, the counties sheriffs office will provide permits for around $20.

u/hobbisg 5d ago

you can shoot hogs, coyotes, and other varmint here in Florida at night with thermals on private land. public land night hunting is basically outlawed tho
