Sounds awesome man, Thanks!
AR15 tend to be the hog choice gun. 556 will take care of them if shots placed right. 300blk and 308 is the next choice ar15. I like the 556, gives it a challenge! Night vision, depends in the generation you get and depending on how bright the moon is that night, you might not need a illuminator. All depends on how much ambient light there is! A lot of people use illuminators anyways to get clear view. Thermal is way more expensive but unless you're spending top dollar, thermal device would be useless unless you're out to kill whomever and whatever. Identification with night vision is 100x better. If you spend top dollar thermal, you MIGHT beable to identify your victim but likely, you will still need night vision to get clear exact ID. So depending on your needs, thermal might be better, night vision might be better. Depends on your purpose of the night. I like to have night vision scope and thermal for scouting.
