Quick guide to thermal scopes:
  1. Thermal scopes use sensors that detect differences in heat at ranges up to several hundred yards away depending on the sensor size, magnification, and weather
  2. Sensor sizes vary from as low as 160x120 to as high as 1280x1024
  3. Base optical magnification is the most important attribute
  4. Sensor size is the second most important attribute
  5. Low base magnification of 1-2.5x is ideal for close range, wide field of view hunting and scanning
  6. High base magnification of 3x or more is ideal for long range, precision shooting
  7. Prices vary from as low as $899 for a ATN THOR LT 160 3-6x to as high as $18000 for the Iray RICO 1280.
  8. Doubling the magnification digitally cuts the image quality/resolution to 1/4 the original

prices can go much higher than that iray you listed, more than 3x that amount. Last FWS-S I saw go was just over 60K, 640 sensor. Very few legally in the wild, you better have the paperwork showing legal chain of ownership from Gov to commercial ownership. I'll guarantee that fws would be significantly better than the Iray by 300 yards, by 600 yards probably an order of magnitude better, 1000 yards, you can forget the iray, the fws is very useable even good out there. For a little less than that Iray, you can get a clipir elr, only a 640 sensor again, and it is a clip on, but is useable well over 20X mag on a day scope, and really nice at 15-18X on a day scope. Not to mention it is a military unit you can legally buy, bomb proof and if I remember right, 50bmg rated. The iray base mag is only 2x because of the physical size of their sensor and size of lens. It would have to have a huge honking lens to get up to a base magnification that you could take advantage of the sensor. If I had the coin for that Iray and willing to spend it, I'd dig up another 2k and get a Voodoo-m clip on thermal. It's small(relatively speaking), light, current military, and very useable to 20-22 mag on day scope, really nice under 18x. No problem shooting 1000 yards with one. And then there is mid-wave cooled thermal out in the wild, even at least one 640 unit that probably would go way over 100k if it ever showed up for sale.

I know someone with an ATN thor lt with the 160 sensor. I personally wouldn't pay 300 dollars for one after looking through it. I wish I had payed an extra 300 dollars when I bought my demo Trijicon IR hunter MKIII 35mm and purchased the 60mm demo they had instead. Weight and size are why I didn't consider it at the time. Both were spotless, never went past the counter, and all accessories in the case still wrapped and sealed. Now I know base mag is a huge thing to look at and I would have been happier with the 60mm, the 35mm is only 2.5x base, the 60mm is 4.5x base. Another thing that can really help longer range is having a focusable objective, the IR hunter's are fixed focus.
