I got my DNT TNC225R ThermNight yesterday! I zeroed it last night in complete darkness. Ever since I got into airguns 5 years ago, I've always wanted the ability to shoot at night. I didn't get into it until now because I wanted it all on one unit; thermal, night vision, laser rangefinder with ballistics. This is the first unit I came across with that had everything that I was looking and doesn't cost $5,000+++
Yes, the 256 thermal sensor can be better, but honestly, for what I'm using it for, it's more than good enough. I see a heat signature blob and focus in on it with the visuals to identify and take the shot.
I didn't shoot the chipmunk in the photo below, but at 35 meters away, the animal was very obvious in the thermal. I wouldn't have otherwise saw this chipmunk if not for the thermal. As I was watching the chipmunk frolic around, there were multiple instances where thermal was picking up the heat signature through the brush even though I don't have visuals at all. Without thermal, I could have stared at that spot for 10 minutes and not see the animal at all.
