New Budget Thermal Offering

[BenJackson]

I'm looking at retailing a decent budget friendly entry unit for ~£730 through my business, just waiting on the unit to arrive for review. Just been upgraded so that now every unit has <18mK NETD value. Built in laser rangefinder and some other nice bits.

The spec sheet is the one on the left. It doesn't mention the LRF but my model would have it. Also has a built in ballistic calculator for different rounds.

Are people still after thermals these days? What does a "budget" thermal mean to you?

 Weapon mounted. 

Handhelds would be much cheaper.

That's a handheld unit with far inferior specs though. Sure it's a thermal, but I'm mainly talking about thermals scopes with a half decent spec list

256x192 is something I would avoid.

Bare minimum should be 384x288, nowadays they can be obtained for not THAT much coin.

Drop the wifi, range finder and bullet drop bollocks, change the base magnification to 2x instead of 3.56x, have the thing use an ACOG mount instead of the weird ass rail most thermals come with, include a glass protector of some sort.

Even if the overall price rises to 1k, it's still going to be competitive.
