After buying a night vision or thermal scope and using it for a while, very often the next step for hunters is to begin considering the purchase of a handheld thermal optic. When looking at the pricing structure of many of the lower prices thermal monoculars, it quickly becomes obvious that they are priced extremely similar to comparable thermal weapons mountable scopes. Then comes the big dilemma…. ”Should I buy a dedicated handheld optic or a scope that can function as a monocular and a back up scope if needed?” On this week’s podcast Hans and Jason talk about the pros and cons of both options and discuss what when and if they believe you should buy a thermal scope instead of a dedicated monocular to be used as a handheld spotter.
