I’m not opposed to spending up to 5k. I just want to know what to buy with the money. Several units in the 2500 dollar range. I was looking at a AGM rattler 35-384 I believe. It was around 2400. Any input on these?
That's a decent unit. A buddy uses his as a scanner but it doubles as a backup scope.
If it's going to see a decent amount of use, I'd consider going with rechargeable RCR123 batteries with that setup (or use an external power supply).
Bering Optics Hogster Vibe 25 & 35mm is in that ballpark too.
