Now that I have an intensifier (PVS-14), I was thinking of adding a thermal monocular. The idea is to use the PVS-14 for moving around, identification and for use with an NV compatible weapon sight. The thermal scope would be for periodically scanning from a fixed position to identify anything the intensifier misses or can't see, and for super dark nights if I don't want to fire up an IR light. What are brands to look at and avoid? Must-have specs and features? I was thinking something that can detect (not necessarily identify) out to maybe 200 or 300 yards (if that's possible in my price range, around 500 but definitely below 1000). Maybe something along these lines? Is something this "entry level" a waste of money, condsidering it's paired with a pretty nice PVS-14?
