OK, I went to the local Academy to look through what they had. They really didn't have anything that was able to be demoed. Only the Rattler V2 25-384 would power on. I have to say I was impressed with the thermal image. It definitely showed people next to "things". It didn't differentiate well the store background that was near the same temperature. This makes sense. This wasn't the model I was looking at buying at $2000. I was more into the 25-256 at $1000.
I with I could look through any digital NV. I'll head to Bass Pro to see what they can demo.
Be aware that looking at people in a climate controlled store with relatively low humidity at fairly short distances is not going to give you an accurate idea of what to expect on a hot evening with high humidity or maybe fog, or all the other weird environmental factors.
