but that could just be the upload resolution reduction.
Not all are quite that much. This is a military grade thermal sight that's 'only' a tenth of that.

Again, I'll photo the load tonight but I'm hoping this will help my post stay up and not be deleted until I can. Thanks!
I agree with the other comment but to answer your question Flir makes something.
I don't own either but wanted to chime in as someone who was in a market for a similar type of bag. Check out the Hazard 4 Overwatch (/u/EastPhilly posted his review here).
I wanted to be able to transport 1-3 longer type of guns on a motorcycle and keep them easily concealed. While the interior isn't the roomiest, you could have plenty more space if you're strapping your M1A to the exterior. I thought of the bag as a base shell and EastPhilly and I split a deal on a bunch of tactical tailor bags for ammo and mag storage. Could comfortably fit 3-4 pmags per pouch AN/PVS-14 pouch. I considered the Eberlestock Operator bag but wasn't happy with the idea of it just being a cover with clips and the pricepoint didn't fit well with my budget at the time. FWIW, the Hazard 4 Overwatch has gone on sale quite a few times on the Hazard4 site for as low as ~$80-100. Some pop up on eBay from time to time as well. Just something to consider if you hadn't already.
This is the one I got, a little expensive but it’ll have some longevity to it.

This is the plastic version, cheaper but not recommended.

It’s a Pulsar XD75, if you are US based you can get a XD75A (more zoom). Good prices 2nd hand as a lot of guys upgrading to the new Trail models.

Nice! You just reminded me of my unholy and forbidden lust for thermal scopes. Oh my dear wallet, please hold on baby...
Uh huh... Well I'm gunna stick with [one of these](IEMNA 4X32 Tri-illuminated Scope with Fiber Optic Sight https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WEKZ2CK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_ViHzwb8YHV9R6) until my credit limit gets increased then!
Here is the one I found. It doesn’t have crosshairs but I believe it should still get me much closer than the little notch.

this one right here
" Here is a local company I was looking at, but even their phone plug in hardware is starting just below $500. I know, you get what you pay for, but hoping there is a quality product (maybe a few generations old) that would suit my needs? "

IR/Thermal scopes/monoculars are extremely expensive. The best ones on the market are almost ten thousand dollars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o200rCT2Io0 The budget ones run around 1,500, to 2 grand and they have low sensor resolution, such as 320x240 sensors. You'd need something like this: https://www.amazon.com/FLIR-Command-640x480-Thermal-Bi-ocular/dp/B007SYKFYW/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=flir+thermal+binocular&qid=1562625130&s=gateway&sr=8-10 which costs like five grand. For $500 the sensor resolution would be too low to identify anything further than a hundred yards, or so. So, no it's cost prohibitive.
Yeah, that's the bummer.
I'm looking into picking up what
thethey use to get nightsnotsshots (ahem, SHOTS) of lions in Africa, the Astroscope, and adapt it to my rig, but that's also pretty steep.Flir has a 1024 x 780 video camera that's about 20 grand.
I'd love to get some night vision goggles with HDMI out, but it all comes down to what the size of the sensor is and the amount of usable pixels you can get out of it.
Unlike visible light sensors for cameras, these sensors aren't made in as high a number and are pretty niche items.

Or literally hundreds of others. My buddy's dad distributes these.
DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE YOU TYPE.
The reason it sucks is because it's not a $10,000 sensor. Infra sensors and optics are inherently complex and high cost. You need special glass, special coatings, special sensors, basically nothing about an infra scope is the same as a camera.
