Whats your budget?

Long range and thermal is tough. Good thermal isn't cheap. Great thermal for long range is really expensive.

What's your end goal/range?

When it comes to Long Range Thermal it's a niche scope. You don't want a lot of digital zoom with long range thermals. The trade off is needing a large objective lens 50-75mm range and a minimal of 5-6x native zoom. The clarity for long range is awesome the issue is when a moving target gets within 150yds or less it becomes very difficult to locate. Next, unless purchasing a top end model you are gonna have to run the focal lens a lot to get clarity and heat signature at the farthest ranges. (Top end models have auto focus on moving heat signatures).
The last issue is cost, the cost of the large lens, 5+ native zoom is upwards 5k.
I own a no longer made model and it's worth every dime I spent. I ran it for two years and now use as back up for first time shooters a). So they have absolute clarity on what they are shooting b). Follow up shots on running hogs/coyotes for newbies is near impossible with this scope which I prefer.

Look in the classified section here. I saw a few Pulsar scopes recently.

In clip-on country there's https://strictlyoffensivekit.com/products/tigir-6z Call up and ask about the Snipershide discount. You can get it for ~8900. I don't think there's better than that. Price is high but it's pretty amazing and works well up to at least 16x magnification.
