    IR-HUNTER 24mm

    Recognizes a hog at 150 yd22° apparent FOV — how big the view looks

    The Trijicon IR-HUNTER 24mm ranks #66 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 67, class median 73; $6,499 against $3,994). The same BAE core sits in the N-Vision HALO-X35 Thermal Scope at $6,300 — the extra $199 here buys the 24mm lens.

      Cons
      • 40 mK — noisier in low light

      What the price buys

      How we compare →

      Computed by comparing this scope against its own siblings on the board — same sensor and lens held equal. Refreshed with every catalog update.

      Cheapest package on this picture
      The same 640×480 + 24 mm build runs up to $6,999 as the REAP-IR 24mm. Every dollar above this price buys packaging, not detail at distance.
      Compared with Trijicon REAP-IR 24mm ($6,999)
      Class-premium price, below-median picture
      Priced $6,499 against the 640 class's $3,994 going rate, with an image score of 67.0 under the class median of 72.8 (#66 of 80).
      Compared with

      The going rate

      Priced $1,901 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, no rangefinder. The part of the price above the rate is buying body, screen, and name — not the spec.
