NV is nice but you will rarely spot anything with it. Mainly use to navigate and ID once you spot something. Also nice for driving behind glass. Can see thru windshield and as you probably know impossible with thermal. Been there done that with your question. And Have PVS for navigation, Pulsar Helion XP 28 scanner 640 for scanning and WIDE FOV. And the same in 640 riflescope but a XP 38. Again for wide FOV. People get caught up on the magnification with thermal I don't understand why. Of course if you hunt 1000"s of acres of wide open croplands maybe. But I would rather have a wider FOV than magnification. With my scanner I can spot stuff well over 1000 yds.
Anyways if I were in your shoes I would sell my xp 50 and buy 2 xp 38's 640 resolution. Use one on gun one to spot or you have 2 riflescopes if needed. If I had it to do over again exactly what I would do
