    HALO-XRF Thermal Scope

    Identifies a hog at 150 yd30° apparent FOV — how big the view looks

    The N-Vision HALO-XRF Thermal Scope ranks #74 of 80 640-class scopes on image: priced above the class middle without the image to match — the chart below shows scopes with more picture for the money (image 65, class median 73; $7,125 against $3,994). The same BAE core sits in the N-Vision HALO-X35 Thermal Scope at $6,300 — the extra $825 here buys the 50mm lens and the rangefinder.

    Pros
    • Built-in laser rangefinder
    • Identifies a hog to ~200 yd
    Cons
    • 40 mK — noisier in low light
    • Narrow 8.7° field of view
    • Heavy for its class · 41.5 oz

    Same scope without it — the HALO-X50 Thermal Scope at $6,575. The extra buys the rangefinder, nothing else.

    The going rate

    Priced $2,910 over the going rate for its build.

    Every dot is the street price of a scope built like this one — same sensor class, a similar lens, rangefinder built in. The part of the price above the rate is buying body, screen, and name — not the spec.
