Had the chance to checkout one of the best thermals for the airgun world. Chad the @Airgun Advisor takes us on a closeup look on this amazing optic.
BEST AIRGUN THERMAL Optic "Rattler" by AGM.
- Thread starter American Airgunner
- Start date
Wishful thinking that you can dismount and remount the optic and it will hold zero, unless you define holding zero to more than about 2 MOA.

I have one, its return to zero is actually really good. Its hard enough to sight in a thermal but I can still shoot ice cubes at 50 yds.

Some are better than others but this optic is cantilevered has a very short rail attachment with only one screw. I really doubt is is repeatable enough for hitting a coons brain at 80 yards.

In my opinion this optic is not a great choice for airgunners. If for no other reason than it lacks a laser rangefinder. I’ve had a 384 Rattler and returned it rather swiftly. It’s really difficult to determine how far away an animal is if you don’t already know before it comes into a bait station or something. I believe that better deals can be had for the price point of a 640 AGM Rattler thermal scope. If you don’t require a laser rangefinder maybe look towards Bering Optics. I haven’t seen the quality of Pard’s thermal optics, but they seem to be a better bargain considering the comparable features that I’m thinking of off the top of my head. I’ve owned a couple of AGM thermal devices and I’m not impressed by the image quality of the internal processors they have used. I have also owned a couple of other brands. Pulsar is a brand whose image quality that I like. To me their 384 units produce a better image quality than an AGM 384. Take what I’m saying for what it’s worth to you, but I think the title of this video is misleading to unknowing airgunners.
