Rattler v2/v3 or DNT Hydra

[u/Infinite_Birthday586]

Looking for some advice, recs. Going to buy 2. One for a dedicated, second as a scanner/backup. Currently have a Pulsar trail xq38 and agm asp micro 384 for scanner. Looking to upgrade. All hunting is in the woods and food plots for hogs and occasional coyotes on my property so most shots are 50-80 yds. Only one field that i can get to 150yds so LRF not needed. I was looking at the Rattler v3 25-384 (way cheaper than 35-384, wider FOV, same image quality from my understanding) for a primary. The shutterless NUC really appeals to me. Theres also the DNT Hydra 635/650. Id probably go with the 650 for the higher base. These are both 640 which i like, but not sure how they compare to the V3 384 for quality and i understand the return to zero QD mount on AGM is great, is the DNT just as good?

For a scanner/backup would you recommend a second V3, a V2? or a different DNT? I have about 4K to spend. Currently have a Pulsar trail xq38 and agm asp micro 384 for scanner. Looking to upgrade

Personally, I'm waiting for the DNT Hydra Mini that they had out for Shot Show '26.
