Collection: Thermal Scopes

Why our Thermal Scopes collection stands apart

You’ve just browsed through our full lineup of rifle- and weapon-mount thermal scopes — now here’s what makes this collection special:

Authorized dealer credibility.

We are a small family-owned business and an authorized dealer of leading thermal-scope brands. That means genuine units, valid warranties, and full support — no grey-market risks.

Comprehensive selection.

With over 120 models showcased, ranging from budget 256-/384-core models to high-end 1280/12 µm systems, you’ll find options to match your application, from hunting to tactical to law enforcement.

Workflow-friendly features.

Many models include advanced features like built-in recording, WiFi streaming, laser range finders, and continuous optical zoom — so your gear isn’t just a scope, it’s a multifunctional tool. (For more on what to look for, see our Thermal Scope Guide) 

Industry-trusted brands & tech.

We carry the most respected names in thermal-imaging: from entry cores to pro specs, you’ll see models from brands like Rix Optics, Pulsar, AGM Global Vision, Nocpix, InfiRay Outdoor and more. All sourced through legitimate channels. 

Free shipping + priority discounts.

We offer free shipping on thermal scopes and honor Military / LE / 1st Responder discounts because we recognize the real-world value these tools deliver.

Supporting buyers with insight.

Choosing the right thermal scope isn’t just picking a number — we provide buyer’s-guides, feature-explainers, and staff who know this gear inside out. See our full “Everything You Should Know about Thermal Scopes” guide. 

Key factors to evaluate before you buy

Here are crucial specs and considerations to help you select the right rifle-mounted thermal scope:

• Core resolution & pixel size. Higher resolutions (e.g., 1024 & 1280 12 µm) cores offer greater clarity and longer detection/identification ranges. Lower resolutions still work well for closer-range or budget-minded use.

• Lens diameter and magnification. A larger lens and higher magnification extend your detection and identification distance — but cost, weight and mounting demands increase accordingly.

• Rifle-mount form-factor & zeroability. Since these are weapon-mounted, think about mount compatibility, QD systems, recoil ratings and how easily the unit can be zeroed and used in real-world conditions.

• Feature set (zoom, LRF, video, streaming). Many scopes include extra functionality like optic zoom, built-in laser range finder, video recording, WiFi/Bluetooth connectivity — pick the extras you’ll actually use.

• Durability, warranty & support. These are high-value investments. Ensure you’re buying from an authorized dealer (you are!) and look for rugged build, weather resistance, and a strong warranty.

• Budget vs performance trade-off. Thermal technology covers a wide price range. You’ll want to set your budget, but don’t compromise key specs if your use-case demands higher performance.

Final thoughts

Whether you’re outfitting a rifle for serious night hunting or tactical operations, or simply upgrading to a higher-performing thermal scope, our Thermal Scopes collection offers the range and support you need. Explore, compare, ask questions — and we’ll help ensure you get gear that delivers when it matters.
