I have been wanting, needing a Thermal scope for killing coyotes at my farm. My land is a mix of open agricultural fields, CRP fields and timber. As far as shooting distances, I can shoot as far as I can see so I’m wanting a Thermal that will allow me to shoot at least 150-200 yards. Up to 300 would be nice but I’m sure that will cost. My question is will the Pulsar Trail XP50 be my best option and if not what would be?

The trail 640 is 1.6x optical magnification ... on 2x digital you are at 3.2x ... with 320 resolution.
The 50mm 384 is 3.1x optical ... and is lower cost ... so if a fair number of your shots will be over 100yds, I would get the 384 unit which already has the optical magnification and save yourself some dollars.

Wig is spot on. If the base zoom on a 640 core is too low, spending the extra on it goes fairly wasted. Find the zoom/FOV you want and then compare options based on it. Keeping the same focal length but increasing the core size only lowers base Zoom/widens base FOV, not increasing detail at the same FOV.
If you want more detail with the same FOV you typically have to pay one price bump to get to the higher resolution core and then a second price bump to get the longer focal length lens. If you only pay for one price bump, you won’t get more resolution at the same FOV.
