keeper96 Posted Sunday at 09:12 Report Share Posted Sunday at 09:12 Morning all, i have around £1300 to spend on a thermal spotter and have found the following options HIKMICRO lynx 2.0 lh35 (£1249) Infiray finder fh35r v2 (£1299, reduced from £2599) pulsar helion xq50f (£1200) The lynx is the only one I’ve had hands on experience of and does seem great value for money the Infiray comes with Laser range finding and being a more expensive model I’m assuming will have better performance? the pulsar was apparently top dog in its day but they’re not around 7-8yr old so do they still beat the newer competition? all thoughts appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalking directory? Yeah I am to be honest I don’t know that much about all the tech side but I understand the 640 sensor is best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what was drawing me to the lynx, I think the Infiray is better value for money but the batteries are specific to Infiray from what I’ve read and are about £40 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sako7mm Posted Sunday at 12:52 Report Share Posted Sunday at 12:52 I had the version 1 for two and a half years. No reduction in battery capacity i noticed. The V2 I have now has been no problem so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMc Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago I have a Hikmicro FQ35L that was around the £1600 mark, maybe the 25mm version is in the bracket you want, I can say its is a brilliant piece of kit for the £1600, game changer on all the ground I shoot on.
