What will you be measuring?
FWIW, I have a cheap Harbor Freight infrared and it does comparative readings very well. I calibrated it against a known temp some time back and it was within 2-3f. Some hand held meters like Fluke, Extech, and others can be used with a contact temperature probe. Those are very accurate and are typically used for head, block, or exhaust temperatures.
