      Do you know when you might get the Pulsar Thermion XP50 in stock?

        Check out this morning's late night vision show on youtube. They will be making XQ thermions that will have a lower base magnification. I do not believe they mentioned price but I am guessing they will be in the same price range as the XM 30.

          was hoping the new Wraith would come in a little less expensive. I think I heard them say $799

            Yep, just watched it. Didn't mention price but the base magnification being lower on the XQ models than 4.2 and 5.5 is awesome! I'm in on the Thermion XQ38 for sure. Anxious to see the price though.

              I am sure it will still be great bang for the buck.

                  They discussed the magnification just not the price.

                    Gotcha, I misunderstood your last post. Agreed they did not talk price. I couldn't imagine it being much more than the XM's since it is using an older thermal core.

                      What caliber/calibers do yall use for your NV/Thermal rigs?

                      I am wanting to build an NV(Wraith) rig on an AR platform. Trying to decide between .308 or 6.8SPC. This would be a multi use rifle, used for coyotes, pigs and deer.

                      Any input on which caliber would be best?

                        308 over 6.8 all day. we use 308 or 6.5cm for all thermal hunting. trying to find a new 308 for myself right now.

                          I use 6.8 spc, 7.62x39, and 308. Gotten to where I seem to carry the x39 most, do to ammo cost but it doesn't have quite the punch of the other two.

                            I’m running a .308 right now, but seriously looking at 7.62x39 for hogs. Both are pretty cheap ammo and easy too find.

                            The KS-47 that palmetto state makes looks pretty dang good.

                              I run my photon on a 6.8 and my thermal on 308

                              I get more one shot running kills with the 308 but the 6.8 is so much lighter when walking around and still does a great job dropping hogs

                                My vote would be 6.5 Grendel since it is a AR 15 platform. Lugging around an AR 10 gets old pretty fast IMO but I am not a strong guy.
