I have a helmet with an iRAY MH25 thermal and a pvs14. My go to rifle is a 22 nosler with a can and a bering optics gen 3 740. I also have an ir laser pointer for a buddy using NV scope.
I used to run a pulsar xp38 but sold it to go helmet. Great scope but hated using the handheld thermal. I have seen so many more yotes using a full time thermal on the eye, just walking in.
