After measuring the girth of my change jar this weekend, I am officially in the market for a bloodied thermal for my 30.06 Husqvarna.
I prefer to shoot 180 or 220 grain from the 30.06, so recoil is an issue. (I realize that I may have to pick up a .308 to accommodate this, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make).
My primary hunting ground does not have much open area; typically my longest shot would be about 125 yards.
I use a PS24 and Yukon Ranger 5x42 for spotting; the Photon on my .270 works well but the bounce from the UNV 20IR is a problem, even when shrouded.
My range is $2k-$3k; I have considered saving up more for a new model, but am reluctant to pay the immediate depreciation.
If any of you gentlemen need some cash for that well deserved upgrade, this may be your opportunity.
I would also appreciate any advice you might offer.
