I figured I’m getting closer to going out at night to shoot a few hogs at a neighbors place. Seeing as I have old school night vision versus a thermal I’ll need the laser along with the Aimpoint set to a night vision setting.

Mine emits a visible green light or IR and is mounted on my "go to," M4 carbine. I am going to snag another for my MP5SD.

I really hate that my old DBAL took a crap, but WTF cane on e do but move forward. I got the door & mid panel in my Pioneer so I'll be warm enough sitting in at at night waiting on the hogs to meet death.

Do you think thermal is better for night hunting under 100 yards?

I have had passive night vision to the point that even if it was better I'm not changing what I have. I guess if you are only sitting stationary, and don't mind lifting your rifle to scan that's great. I know lots of people with under $1K thermals that kill hogs.

I can put on my helmet turn on the PVS-14 turn on the laser so it operates off the pressure switch and move about. I can see where I'm going and what is moving and my rifle can be slung over my shoulder or setting next to me. When it comes time to shoot I can shoulder my rifle ans look thru my Aimpoint or if I want light it up with the laser and shoot from the hip.

By the time all of our troops have switched to thermal or hybrid thermal/passive I'll be dead. Only way I'd buy a thermal at my age is if I ht the lotto and bought a $10K Trijicon.
