i see this a neat tool/toy. looking around the house/backyard at night, surveying predator hunts at sunset, and even sealing drafty windows etc. cant say it's a sporting tool for deer hunting, but that's me. been watching prices and looking at the leupold tracker HD and FLIR. any opinions on these?

Just curious,which Thor 4 is it? With it being refurbished does it still have a warranty from ATN?

Warranty-YES
I called ATN and fellow said 3 years!Better warranty than I expected.
He said ##print off your receipt from WalMart(I bought online and received it weeks ahead of projected arrival date)
Register it on ATN website may not be neccesary but I did anyway.
Refurbished:absolutely ++pristine condition
Thor4HD smart 4-18 zoom
Saw rabbits out eating grass last night off my porch-75 yrds SUPER clarity could see their ears on 4X
+++Saw my horses-I realize this is a GREAT medical tool for checking oneself and livestock.Hooves warmer than legs due to their winter coats(white hot selection).
The "NUC" part is automate-I'm still learning it
Take your time and learn it(like a monocular) before you place on your gun.

I'm gonna have to check out a horses hooves. I've watched deer with my pulsar and the bottom half of their legs don't show much heat at all. If your going to use the scope a lot you won't like the automatic nuc or atleast I don't

I have a flir.

Buy once cry once...

You can "see" blood flowing in a bull's neck at 600yds.

Looking at people....it's like they're nekkid....

Cept now I really want a hand held to go with weapon mount flir.

Mono-bright-eye gives me eye strain.

Shouldering an ar10 to scan is a bad idea....but I've done it in known spots...a bunch.

I just got the Binox from ATN webpage.
ATN is also selling refurbished at same price as WalMart,I would have bought from ATN but didn't know.
The Binox I ordered is also a refurbished at a substantial savings.
Haven't received it yet.
Gonna tell wife it's for her-she's jealous of my ThOr :)

NUC:it kinda operates like my manual Notch button on my old Bounty Hunter metal detector.

Ive got my Pulsar mounted on a 10.5 in 300 blackout pistol and also have a firestorm monocular and to me personally I'd rather scan with gun than the handheld. Most the places I hunt the hogs have been hit before by folks that have no clue how to do it so their real spooky from the get go.
