I thought gen 3 night vision was expensive, your a pretty serious coyote killer!  :yike:

Yeah no doubt. I loved using thermals over in Baghdad.  I won't say it's impossible to hide from them, but pretty darn near.

Hell ya....thermals are awesome.  We had alot of fun with those out at the depot.  Training excersizes were pretty sweet when they dropped you off in the middle of nowhere with thermals and NVG's and told you that you were caught trying to make an assault on the Demill, and it was now time to evade and escape!

where would one get thermal optics? i would think maybe thermal bino's would be better for spotting the sneaky little buggers if you wanted to go that route. Ive always wanted something like that

i've watched all the jager pro vids, they look nice.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.
