    How we score

    The chain that makes the picture.

    Four parts stand between a hog in the dark and your eye — the lens gathers heat, the sensor turns it into a picture, processing cleans it up, and a small display shows you the result. The picture is never better than the weakest link, so the score walks every link of the chain.

    Cutaway of a thermal scope's image chain — heat enters the front lens, the sensor turns it into a signal, the processing board cleans it up, and the display hands the picture to your eye.

    The landscape

    The most expensive brands don’t score the highest.

    Each logo marks a brand’s middle scope — half its lineup scores better, half worse. The higher the logo, the higher its HuntGrade score; the further right, the more it costs.

    Before you buy

    See farther, or see wider — you can't have both.

    A bigger lens magnifies more, but it doesn't show you more ground. These two ATN scopes have the same 640×480 sensor and different lenses: the 25 mm shows the whole sounder, the 75 mm pulls in so close the hogs run off the edge of the frame.

    The same hogs at 100 yards, rendered live from each scope's real numbers.
