Flir's new Improved Scout II line:

I got one of the first Scout PS-32s (320 core and 19mm lens with 2X digital) when they first came out and it is still going strong and always with us at night, it has plenty of range and a nice wide FOV so excellent for detection and recovery both.
I also got one of the LS-64s when they first came out (640 core and 35mm lens and 8X digital) and it is excellent for detection, recovery, and ID and also has an excellent FOV. It's main use if for ID, so we don't end up stalking deer all the time.
FLIR prototyped a PS32R with a 35mm lens with the 320 core and it has about the same range as the LS-64 does but the FOV was not so good, so they did not market that on account of more difficult for recovery use. It did have Video Recording out and this has been carried over to the new Scout II PS-32, so now you can record with it similar to their RS thermal scopes. At night, for both detection and recovery, a WFOV is your friend!

Our Scouts/LSs have thousands of hours of use in the field over the years and are definitely our GoTo hand held scanners although we have a variety of different thermal hand scanners, some much more powerful, these are the most ergonomic and easy to use for detection and I like the internal lithium rechargeable battery.
Having a high quality hand scanning thermal like the PS-32 or LS-64 and a thermal weapon scope is about as good as it gets in my book for detection and kills.
