I've been using a thermal scope since 2019, mostly as a handheld for scanning. With a 1.5x magnification and 25mm objective, it was truly a game changer for nighttime predator hunting compared to red lights and night vision optics. With the newer improvements in detection, identification, sensor density, screen resolution, and temperature sensitivity, I was ready for an upgrade.
I chose the AGM Rattler V3 35-640 for its impressive specs and positive reviews over other brands. I chose the 35 over the 50 for its lower magnification and wider FOV. I used it in the field as a handheld scanner the first time a few days ago. Its performance has exceeded my expectations in most areas. My only disappointment is in zooming. Only the 5x (up 1 from the 2.5x base) has good definition.

Great Unbeatable Handguard Value

Review for
VISM AR15 M-LOK Carbine Handguard
I have a Colt AR15 with A2 front sight. I originally replaced the stock handguard with Magpul MOE but disliked the length for attaching a white light, sling receiver, foregrip, bipod adapter, etc. Buying another AR15 upper was not an option. I contemplated removing the front sight and installing a low gas block and purchasing a handguard that is slim, longer, and uses the M-LOK design.
Then I found this product on Optics Planet. The VISM M-LOK Carbine Handguard addressed my issues quickly and economically!
I even comes with some rails included! The product is surprisingly clean and well-made. It would probably sell well at twice the price. My only negative is some vertical play which would rule out precision items like dots or lasers. Time will tell how durable this product is in the field.
