    IR-HUNTER 35mm

    Identifies a hog at 150 yd21° apparent FOV — how big the view looks

    The Trijicon IR-HUNTER 35mm ranks #58 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 68, class median 73; $7,499 against $3,994). The same BAE core sits in the N-Vision HALO-X35 Thermal Scope at $6,300.

    Pros
    • Identifies a hog to ~150 yd
    Cons
    • 40 mK — noisier in low light
    • Short ~4 h battery
    • Pricey for the image it gives

    The going rate

    Priced $3,375 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.
