Does anyone have any experience with a Thermal scope.

I am thinking of getting this on a good deal here in NZ - Sytong LM02-25 Thermal Rifle Scope

Never heard of that brand so I don't know the specifics about it. Look for as high of a sensor resolution as you can afford.

Most people say that 320X240 is as low as you should go with a display of 1080 or 4K.

I bought a Pulsar Thermion (640x480) because of the recommendation of my Kiwi friends and on a cold night I can make out feral cats at 400 yards.

Then check the pixel pitch, the industry is shifting from 17 microns to 12 microns.

Don't go with too high of a magnification on the high end. The scope resolution is rated on the lowest magnification and every time that you double the magnification, you halve the resolution. Saying that I can still identify a deer at 400 yards with my scope on 24X (3X base)

The scope arrived but not the picatinny rail for it.

I have had a short play with it and I need to understand a lot more about its function

* Magnification?
* Zeroing reticle to POI
* best setting day or night
