Decoding Darkness

Thankfully for all the buddies on a budget, the AGM Rattler has a bit more of an affordable price than your average thermal scope.

For those who use a rail-mounted front sight or a visible/IR laser attached to a rail, rigidity and return to zero play a huge factor in getting accurate shot placement downrange.

While some thermal is better than others, the type of device makes a difference as well.

A few months back, we had a report on the initial product launch from a new company called BlackFire. A division of Klein Tool, they have been making some waves in the outdoor space. For the fall and winter seasons, they have a boatload of new products that you are going to love. This week, we are taking a look at the flashlight offerings.

You can’t shoot what you can’t see, and identification can literally make the difference between life and death.

InfiRay Outdoors has the first 1280×1024 commercial thermal. It’s four times as much resolution as has ever been available to the commercial market in a riflescope. 

Long story short, vision is complicated.

The coolest thing about this unit is the ability to use it as either a helmet-mounted monocular or scope for your rifle. The versatility is amazing. For those who want a quality thermal rifle scope, but also the ability to hike around hands-free looking through thermal, the NOX18 was made for you. While other dedicated thermal scope options with a larger objective lens would provide more clarity, the NOX18 blends weight, size, and function beautifully.

Noisefighters has built a great reputation for customer service and offers a “no-questions-asked, transferable lifetime warranty” with their AX14-PRO.
