Was hoping to get in around a grand (wholesale)
Thanks, this is new ground for me.
Subsonic 338 ARC is meant to be used with a suppressor.
I’ve been looking at the AGM Rattler v2 25-320 the past couple weeks. But have been considering a 19-256 for the wider fov seems I’m not interested in any long distance.
I would stay away from scopes using proprietary batteries and anything under 384 resolution.
Check out some YouTube videos of dnt optics thermnight scopes. Night vision, thermal, range finder all in one. Can also use pic in pic- use scope in nv mode with smaller thermal image at same time for scanning.
Proprietary batteries from known good brands don’t bother me at all. DeWalt, Milwaukee, EGO, Canon, etc etc. Everything has them. Chinese knockoffs are a problem.
Just my $.02, so take it for what it's worth.
The 640 I had in question is a Rattler so used cr123 batteries, which I do not like. But there’s other options to work with. Optics Planet had the best price is all. I have ordered from them in the past for telescope stuff. If they’re problematic now, I’ll continue looking.Just my $.02, so take it for what it's worth.
Personally, I would not buy the v1 scope for a few reasons. The biggest reason for me would be the internal battery. I want to be able to replace a battery half way through the night. Battery duration goes way down as the temperature goes down.
I went to the O.P. website to try to figure out exactly which model of scopes you're looking at, but I'm not 100% sure which ones they are. Hiwever, I did find the TS 35-640 that you referenced for around $1600. At least, I'm assuming that's the one you're looking at. Using that price point, I might tell you to check out the RIX STORM S3, or even the S6. Both are very good scopes, and they use common 18650 batteries.
On another topic, and your experience may be different, but Optics Planet would not be my choice of places to buy from. The Rattler v6 might be on the market by the time you get what you ordered. ( v3 is the current model ) I have dealt with a couple dealers, and would highly recommend either THERMAL OPTICS PLUS or FERAL TEXAS OUTDOORS. Both of them have earned my repeat business as well as my recommendation.

I myself would not hesitate to purchase a RIX product. Knowing that RIX grew from InfiRay and improved upon the things they thought Iray was doing wrong gives me great confidence in their product. They have gained an excellent reputation in the past few years of their existance.
I did research different styles, mounting on my AR so box style is what I’m looking at. Also shoot mostly around 100yds and some woods.
You can mount a tube style scope on an AR nicely and later transfer it to a bolt action if you wish.
Bought a ‘24 Street Glide, love it! Just about 10k miles this year lol
I talked to Cameron for over an hour today. He was saying the sensor in the new v2 are really good, the 320 would have been a good choice for my uses. Little high base mag than I want though. Over the Rix, he said he had the Nocpix L25 which is a 385 with 2x base mag and is really a great new thermal. Has a great mount design and already has a magnetic cord and port for external battery.
