Looking for something good enough to PID a coyote vs the neighbors dog out to 200 yards.

I'm partial to Pulsar products so I'll go with the Thermion 2 XP50 Pro. Add another grand if you want LRF. There are more deals showing up all the time with the really high definition scopes coming out.

I live in the plains where distance is an issue. |

I’m reviewing the Armasight Contractor 640 right now. Comes in closer to $6K, though. I’m pretty impressed so far.

RH25 which will allow you the option of weapons mounted, clip on, as well as hand held, helmet mounted, etc.

Lightly used Nox 35 go for around 5k. That's what I did and I don't regret it one bit. If you will only have one thermal I think it's tough to beat for your intended use.

If this will be your only thermal, I would look more at the Nox 35. I use mine as a scanner and throw it on my rifle when I see them come in. Scanning with the rifle for any period of time sucks and 3x base mag is a lot unless it's staying on the rifle. If buying new I would call Euro Optic. Being a veteran they will give you a good deal. |

Put QD mounts on it and rails on all rifles. Use the normal scope in the day, thermal when dark. Easy to use as a hand held then. I use ADM recon's. |

I do the same. The NOX 35 comes with an ADM mount. RTZ is excellent. Scanning with an XRF wouldn't be ideal though. 200 yards is easy with a NOX 35 and it makes for a better scanner. Just my .2 |

Some of the Bering Optics products like the Yoters do use an iRay sensor.

I would definatly look at an Iray RH50R Mk2 for the features vs price. Street price is your budget.
