AA Optics has a couple of the Berings on clearance.
I will check those out. I guess I should clarify my purpose, other than I want one, for wanting to buy one. Looking around my woods and pasture and, since this is the survival section, I think it would be good to have something that works in complete darkness so I can see who is in my yard, lane, barn etc.
I was actually just looking at that very scope. Do you have any issues using it as a monocular? It does seem handy to have something I can quick on and off a rifle.
I was in your boat last year. I bought this one: https://www.atncorp.com/thermal-monocular-ots-xlt-160-2-5-10x
It's OK. I was able to see a doe giving birth to a fawn at 100 yards last spring in complete dark. I didn't want to spend a ton, but wanted "some" capability. The 2.5 minimum power gives it better clarity at distance, but is hard for anything in the 30 yard range or closer due to the magnification and small field of view.
I felt it was the best of what I needed without spending a lot for a good one. If you are just wanting to dabble, then it would be a good option. If you want to see anything close around the house, get a 1x with something high resolution.
The digital zoom is going to pixelate the image horribly, so always look at the minimum power as what you will be using most. 2x digital zoom (5x with the base 2.5x optical) is useable on mine but anything above that and its really pixels at that point.
