I am not going to go into as long a discussion as it would require to fully answer your question, but I will answer it as seriously and briefly as possible. There are good thermal scopes out there. Is the same quality thermal scope cheaper than this setup, not even close, way more expensive. Can you make it to Miami on a moped, probably, but most people prefer a car. I am not saying a sports car, just a good quality car. You can buy a night vision scope for under $400. You can also buy a $40 Chinese made rifle scope for your $5000 custom rifle. Will it work??? Probably but not the same as Night Force. I am not saying the Thor is bad, but it is not on the same level as this scope, plus I have the monocular, helmet and IR illuminator and laser. You do not compare dollars, you compare apples to apples, not apples to oranges. If you are just hog hunting with shots under 100 yards, and without other animals (calves or deer) in the area the Thor might be a good choice. If you need to verify game at further distance, you need to do more research.
