[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 1226246, member: 81139"] I'm actually using the XD75A, The crazy thing is that I started the whole night hunting coyotes gig using a Raytheon Thermal Eye 250D for scanning... and a Pulsar DFA75 for night vision on the rifle. It was a great combination. My brother and I hunted together pretty much all the time so it worked out perfectly... One would scan... and when they saw anything coming... they would let the guy on the rifle know, who would then fire up the night vision and IR light... get on target... and shoot. My brother though has been having Kidney issues so wasn't able to hunt with me at all this last season... and some of the previous season... so I ended up juggling the thermal scanner and night vision. It was a lot more work. So I ended up selling the Raytheon and used the money for my new Thermal scope. Now.... I do wish I had held on to the Raytheon Thermal Eye.... as trying to scan with my rifle is a lot of work!! I have a tripod that helps some... but I'm having to move around quite a bit... left and right in order to scan.... so I've been thinking about picking up a thermal scanner... probably an HD38 or perhaps HD19. It doesn't have to be really great on resolution because I can scan ... and if I see anything... then I can use the XD75A for identification. So... no scanner currently... but considering it. It is a lot more convenient. I'd even pick up a used Raytheon Thermal Eye 250D if I can find one for a good price. That thing was rock solid and though the resolution isn't all that... it worked great. [/QUOTE]
