I saw an ad for a Sightmark Photon at Academy Sports for $299.00 which is $200 off. I got one last year hoping to night hunt pigs and coyotes. Only used it a couple,of times so far, and have not killed anything with it but no doubt that I will with opportunity. Have used for spotting coyotes twice that my friends with thermal scope got shots on. Lesson is use it without friends who have thermal!
Sightmark also has a newer scope called the Wraith which is color and supposedly better for daytime use. Neither are close to thermal but at $299.00 that Photon is good option.
