Ive been saving my pennies for a while and I have wanted a thermal scope for night hunting. Budget is around 3k. What should I get?

Personally, I think you should buy a used ATN Thor HD and then let one of your friends upgrade 
Thanks,

I actually don't play in this price point much as most of the weapons mounted thermals I deal with start around $10k. I can say that when it comes to hunting I much prefer weapons mounted NV with a good IR illuminator and then use a cheaper handheld thermal for scanning/observation. It's always better to actually squeeze the trigger with an analog sight picture vs digital.

Pass on NV
What do you want to hunt, how (stationary or spot and stalk), and where (woods or open)?
Without knowing the answer to those questions, I'd suggest the Pulsar Trail XQ38. Check out ultimatenightvision.com or nightgoggles.com. It's got a good FOV, and it will allow you to hunt wooded areas or open spaces out to 200 yards. The newer Pulsars will be out later this summer. http://pulsarnv.com/thermion/?fbclid=IwAR2hCoZOA2ND8gST8_wmH7RMPMWxqp0ukMHF8WwNorjMl_ALk7-Lb5w2Ucc But for the one's in your price range, you'll have a more narrow FOV.
