What do you consider inexpensive? Afaik, entry-level night vision scopes are >$400 and thermal are >$1000.

I could probably swing $400. I doesn't have to be top of the line of course, but it is just for some night hog plinking. I wish I could swing a silencer but one step at a time right?

A family friend kills hogs with the ] all the time. Since most inexpensive night-vision scopes are basically just cameras with an internal screen, there are a plethora of too (disclaimer: have not tried any of these DIY options).
Finally, idk what your hunting situation is, but where I hunt we just put some red lights out on the feeder that we activate with a switch. Most pre-made feeder light systems are expensive, but a DIY light system with the right wavelength (in green or red) will work. For us, this is easier than buying a single scope. Obvious drawback is it's not mobile.

If you want to balance range, resolution, features, and budget, the ATN THOR 4 models are probably the best you're going to get without breaking the bank; $1500-3500 spec dependent.
Thermals ain't cheap.

I had been looking at those. They are really cool. Especially since they record video and everything. A bit out of my price range. Maybe one day if I could get two or three stimulus checks.

I had a friend recommend one a while back that retails for about 1k from our local brick and mortar store. Forget the brand, but the paper specs were decent. IIRC, it was 640x480, 1.5-8x, and with a thermal range of around 450m. I can ask him later what it was.

Thanks. I am just looking at shooting some hogs behind my dad's at night. Not even over 100 yards. Years ago it was one hog and now there are 3 groups of them.
