    What Armasight builds on

    Every sensor Armasight builds on also ships inside ATN scopes — same sensor, different name and price.

    How the lineup is built

    9 names, 7 pictures, 3 packages

    Every Armasight is a picture wearing a package. The picture comes from the sensor and the lens. The package is the line — the screen, the body, the rangefinder — and the price. The model name tells you the package, not the picture.

    Distance comes from the lens. Within a sensor, the base magnification tracks the lens: 75 mm reads 4.8×, 50 mm reads 3×, 35 mm reads 2.3× on the same 640×480 sensor. The lines set the screen, the body and the price — the picture is the sensor and the glass.

    Where your money goes

    Which dollar buys picture, which buys packaging

    Two kinds of price step hide in a lineup. Build steps buy detail at distance: a bigger sensor, a longer lens. Package steps buy polish, not detail: a sharper screen, a rangefinder, a different body. Worth knowing which one a price jump is before you pay it.

    ◆ Behind the name

    Who you're actually buying from

    Who makes the sensor
    Undisclosed (branded "ArmaCORE")

    Armasight calls its sensor "ArmaCORE" and never names who makes it — our reference places it in the unconfirmed Chinese tier. The "Built in the USA" headline softens on every product page to "assembled in the USA from U.S. and global components," and the fine print is the accurate version.

    Strengths

    • A full ladder of 640-class scopes, clip-ons, and monoculars at prices well under the US-built brands.
    • Real institutional substance — US assembly, a government CAGE code, two decades of military and law-enforcement supply, MIL-STD ratings.
    • The 3-year warranty costs nothing extra — register within 60 days and coverage triples from the 1-year base.

    Cautions

    • The sensor's maker is undisclosed; the marketed sensitivity (NETD <40mK) is printed line-wide, entry models included.
    • Miss the 60-day registration window and you have a 1-year warranty. It never transfers and is US-only.
    • The "Built in the USA" headline is really "assembled from global components" — the sensor among them.

    ◆ The going rate

    What each upgrade costs in the Armasight lineup

    Every clean single-feature step inside Armasight's own catalog — a bigger sensor, a longer lens, a rangefinder. Each dot is a pair where only that one thing changed.

    Upgrade

    $0$1.3k$2.5k

    Line swap

    median +$1,599 · 1 pair

    Objective lens

    median +$1,570 · 2 pairs

    Each dot is a clean single-feature step · black tick = median · bar = full spread

    Lines run from the flagship at the top down to the entry models, and within each line the priciest sits first. Prices are current street prices.

    ◆ Where to buy

    Who sells Armasight

    12 stores list Armasight scopes today, and their prices differ — on a typical Armasight scope the cheapest store is about $1,005 below the most expensive. Each scope’s own page lists its stores with the current price, shipping, and return terms. EuroOptic and Scopelist share one owner, so they count as one store.
