I’ve spent years learning about night time optics and deciding what to buy - night vision vs thermal, so many brands, so many price ranges, so many variations… it’s a maze - and an expensive decision that I didn’t want to get wrong….. I received my Armasight 320 Contractor, spent time getting familiar with it, adjusted the settings to my liking - and am really pleased. I’ve viewed deer and hogs (and lots of small game) out to 200 yards with plenty of clarify and definition to make distinctions between these animals and make accurate shot placement. It turns on quickly and, as others have mentioned, is very intuitive / easy to operate with the turrets - and there are some very cool features built into this product (like Mil type internal compass / inclinometer / level… displayed on the screen). I’ve had the chance to compare a few other manufacturer’s thermal devices of similar cost and am convinced this one is much better….. My only dislikes are that the Operator’s Manual is pretty vague (example - it points out the diopter adjustment, but provides no description of what this feature is used for - and I can’t find any more comprehensive details online or on Armasight’s website)…… and unrelated to the product itself, I had a couple of weeks order delay with Optics Planet processing my ITAR Certification (I assume because this is a true Mil-Spec type optic there are more stringent requirements?) - which took multiple emails and follow up phone call - that was pain…. All in a
