Anyone have experience with the newer versions of a $4-800 night optic?
No, I'm not going to be convinced to go $2-5k for thermal. Just looking for occasional after hours coyote, defending the goat and chickens on 3 acres, and the like. (May even mount it on a 22 for the latter.) I do not need the big money thermals.
That being said, I do appreciate quality and a good product.
Any pointers?

I have a Sightmark Photon. Don’t get to use it much but for the money it’s ok. I would look hard at the Sightmark Wraith-Camera Land carries them. They came out right after I got the Photon.

Wife got me the Wraith HD for Christmas! (Surprise!) Set it up with the external power pack, (Another Surprise!) and put the stock illuminator way out on the end of the picatinny forend... really surprised how far away I have good definition! (Way better than when scope mounted, but that could have been user error.) Still considering an aftermarket illuminator, especially if I can get one that does visible light too. (Sons are excited to get out at night too... so now I need more gear!)

I use a Sniper Hog Lights Coyote Cannon on my Wraith and it takes visibility out a lot farther. Although at times I think the coyotes can see the glow it puts off.
