    Price comparison: 23 of 24 scopes used · Details

    For each AGM scope, we average the prices of all scopes from other brands with the same sensor class, primary lens size and built-in rangefinder status. We calculate its percentage difference from that average, then average those percentages. Each qualifying AGM scope counts equally.

    A scope needs at least 2 competing scopes to count. They may come from the same other brand; each distinct scope contributes one price. Matching these specifications does not establish equal image quality or features.

    Prices are saved new-item or sale listings confirmed in stock, recorded within 30 days of 2026-10-20. 24 of 24 scopes have an eligible price. Missing prices are excluded. Availability can change.

    Brands can have different scopes in their comparisons, so these percentages are not a direct ranking of brand prices.

    A shared sensor class doesn’t establish the same image quality. Open a family for its exact scopes and feature differences.

    Sources & reading the comparison

    Configurations come from our saved product catalog. Sensor columns use actual horizontal pixel counts; a shared resolution does not establish equal image quality. Runtime bars share a 12-hour scale on this page. The lighter segment shows the range within a family; an asterisk means runtime is missing for some scopes. Runtime depends on operating conditions and is not a HuntGrade test result. Mixed battery or display configurations are identified at scope level. Prices show confirmed in-stock offers from our saved retailer data; scopes without one show “Check availability”. Stars compare specifications across the full catalog. Hog identification distances are calculated estimates. Switchable lens positions are recorded for AGM Clarion. Open a scope for its specifications and source links.

    The people

    A young company.
    An experienced team.

    2019AGM Global Vision founded

    Gary and Mark Tarakanov brought decades of electro-optics experience to AGM. The company grew through U.S. distribution partnerships, then the Rattler and Adder scope families.

    The hardware

    The HIKMICRO connection.

    Our sourcing research points to HIKMICRO as a supplier of AGM’s consumer thermal hardware. It draws on IPVM’s reporting on import records and company documents.

    That helps explain shared hardware across brands. It does not establish that two scopes have identical processing, performance or support.

    After the sale

    Your support relationship is with AGM.

    AGM publishes its own U.S. warranty, handles claims and says it maintains in-house repair capabilities.

    5 years
    Transferable U.S. thermal coverage

    For thermal units purchased from January 1, 2023.

    Company history

    Founders and early milestones follow AGM’s published company history, checked September 11, 2026.

    AGM’s company history

    Hardware sourcing

    Our June 2026 dossier records IPVM’s March 2025 analysis of import records, FCC documents and an AGM presentation naming HIKMICRO as a consumer-thermal partner. AGM has disputed affiliation with Hikvision; a supplier relationship does not establish common ownership.

    The original report could not be freshly accessed in this review. This is a research attribution, not a verified factory or component map for every current scope.

    Warranty & support

    U.S. warranty terms checked September 11, 2026.

    Coverage starts at the original purchase from AGM or an authorized dealer. Batteries have one year of coverage. The policy covers manufacturing defects; accidental damage and unauthorized alterations are excluded.

    A claim starts with AGM or an authorized dealer. The published terms do not establish typical repair turnaround; we have not verified that experience.
