what or is there a GOOD thermal that will show 1000yds?

Show what? A rabbit, coyote, large boar, bison, truck, house?

Do you want to see that something is there or do you want to be able to identify it?

checking for a friend, he want to monitor his fence line at that distance, so I guess he would want to identify. thank you for the question.

Just for spotting or does he want something he can shoot with too? A Halo LR mounted on a tripod would be a really nice thermal spotting scope for long range. Either that or a MK3-60 will be the closest things that will get him out far enough. I doubt you can identify anything at 1000 but those units will get close. I would think you'd be be able to tell a person vs a deer or cow just based on movement but on a stationary heat target it could be anything. That's really far for any thermal. Might not be a terrible idea to consider a thermal drone either. What exactly is he trying to monitor his fenceline for and for how long? Might help to be a little more specific on what he's wanting to do. PM me if you need to.

Myron is right. That's a LONG ways for ID'ing with any thermal on the market. The two optics he mentioned are the only two that I'd consider. It's worth noting they are $7,500 and $9,000. Identifying at 1,000 yards is a long ways and really more than what any civilian thermal is designed for.

thanks, mainly for security reason's, wanting to identify at the moment, not game camera type,

I've shot hogs at 1K with a Pulsar Thermion, I believe it was an XP50. Can be had for around 5K. Its certainly not ideal, but its workable at that distance

I am sure you got video, right? The Thermion takes great video.

Yeah that picture in picture window comes in really handy past 850 yards ....

I can't find the ID range of the MK III 60, but the detection range is 2,500 yards.
