EOTech Thermal/Nightvision scope

It would probably be hard to find someone willing to shell out 10-18 thousand dollars for a scope depending on resale value, but you might be able to trade it for material things like a jeep or guns to someone that really wants one.

From what I understand it has 2x magnification and you can mount it in front of a red dot or rifle scope or it can be used as a standalone optic.

Can see a moving person's body heat at 500 yards and stationary at 600. You can recognize a human face at 25 yards. Battery is supposed to last 8 hours. Military grade thermal optic.
 
Kind of what I figured on resale. If this guys is a military issue is it legal to own or sell? He told me where he was stationed so I know he is in the military.
 
I would advise you to use the scope before buying it, to make sure it will do what you want. The SU-232/PAS isn't a "night vision" device like you may be used to. Rather than operating in the near-infrared (0.7-0.9 micron) range like most NVGs, it operates in the longer 7-14 micron wavelengths. Good for detecting body heat, but not as good for using moonlight/starlight to illuminate your surroundings.

Here's a picture taken through the SU-232/PAS:

On the EOTech website I found this:

"*This product is controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) USML Category 1(f), and may not be exported to a Foreign Person, either in the U.S. or abroad, without a license or exemption from the U.S. Department of State."

So it should be fine to own if you are a United States citizen and do not sell it to a foreigner.

Another thing I saw that I didn't mention is that it is apparently waterproof to waterproof to 66 feet.
