I did a bad thing today...bought a Pulsar Thermion XP50 at the beginning of the year and have moved it between my 338 Federal/6.5 Grendel/6.5 Creedmoor. Have been stunned with its performance although the shorter eye relief wasn't friendly with the 338 Fed recoil so it spends most of its time on the 6.5's. Since I went down the thermal scope route I inevitably found myself needing a thermal monocular for scanning as sticking the rifle in and out of blinds/removing from tripod got to be a pain. I also wrestled with having a second thermal dedicated to my Grendel for friends to come along or as a secondary backup. My budget wouldn't allow for both so I went with the best compromise.
I found a demo model Thermion XG50 which will now be my dedicated rig on my 6.5 Creedmoor. My XP50 is going in an American Defense QR mount and will be used as a monocular/scanner most of the time...and when I need a second gun it can be attached to the Grendel. While it's not the perfect solution it offered the best of both options and allows me to upgrade my dedicated thermal on my rifle.
Now I just need to sell my unopened Pulsar Digex 455 and intercept the Thermion delivery without the wife noticing.
