<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up until today, the best thermal sensors and scopes available to the commercial market have all been 640×480 thermal sensors. InfiRay Outdoors is changing that with the first 1280×1024. It’s four times as much resolution as has ever been available to the commercial market in a riflescope<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"InfiRay<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The InfiRay RICO HD RS75 with the groundbreaking 1280 sensor means better detail, more field of view, more detection range, and you can digitally zoom further before your image looks like pixelated garbage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had the opportunity to travel to Texas and hunt with the RICO HD RS75 and it didn\u2019t disappoint. Even with high humidity and sweltering heat at night, the RICO HD RS75 delivered crisp clear images with HD detail you have to see to believe. I didn\u2019t always have time to perfectly focus the picture due to some high-speed action-packed hog hunting but you\u2019ll get the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, due to the 128 GB of onboard video recording ability, I can share some of what it’s like shooting the RS75 with you. I will however warn you that it\u2019s better in person. The audio that\u2019s recorded with the scope is excellent and the best I\u2019ve ever seen\/heard in a thermal scope. I downloaded the InfiRay Outdoor app on my phone at 3 am while in the field and easily download the videos off of the scope onto my phone. In other words, the app is easy to use and gets the video from the RICO HD RS75 to your phone with no drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The native base optical magnification on the RS75 is 2x so it\u2019s not really designed to be a long-range scope. However, because of the increase in detail provided by the 1280 sensor, you can digitally zoom pretty far and still see good enough to shoot. In fact, I was hitting a steel BCC zone target standing from a tripod at 317 yards in the middle of a Dallas, Texas afternoon. We did nothing to the steel target to make it visible and I feel like I could have shot hundreds of yards further without even trying hard. While I didn\u2019t get a chance to try, I believe that in the right conditions, an 800-yard hit on steel would be very doable. InfiRay claims the detection range is 3600 yards which is a huge jump over existing thermal scopes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certainly the 12 \u03bcm (micron)  pixel pitch and the 75mm F1.0 germanium lens help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"InfiRay
The objective lens is 75mm.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eyepiece you look through and the display are also something you need to see to understand how incredible they are. I don\u2019t know in technical terms how to describe them but the eye relief is almost unlimited<\/a>. I could stand 10 feet behind the scope and as long as I was lined up could see the display. In more technical terms the eyepiece is an orthoscopic (magnified). There are a set of optical lenses that provide the magnification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"InfiRay<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Also, in daylight without any sort of rubber light shield\/tube, you can see the display perfectly. Bar none the RS75 has the best display\/eyepiece I\u2019ve ever experienced on a thermal. The resolution of the display is 2560×2560.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The InfiRay RICO HD RS75 uses the same InfiRay Outdoors battery packs that the other RICO scopes and the ZOOM handhelds all use. Right now it looks like the battery life is really dependent on how the scope is used. For example, if you keep the scope in standby mode, you\u2019ll likely get 6 hours. If you leave the scope on continuously maybe you\u2019ll get 3-4 hours. If you run the rangefinder and never turn it off you might only get two hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"InfiRay
The RS75 ships with two rechargeable battery packs that can be swapped out in seconds. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way, the RS75 comes with two batteries which should easily get you all the way through the longest nights. You can also charge the batteries in the field from your vehicle or UTV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The InfiRay RICO HD RS75 ships with a 1000-yard rangefinder. It connects via the USB C port on the RS75<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"InfiRay
The focus ring is easy to feel and use in the dark. The rangefinder attaches via the Picatinny rail on the side. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RS75 digital zoom goes from 2x optical to 4x digital, 8x, and ends at 12x digital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The color pallets are White Hot, Black Hot, Red Hot, Color, and Highlight. I found White Hot and Black Hot to both be exceptional and the most useful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"InfiRay
The color pallets, reticles, zoom, record, power\/standby, and other important settings are all easily accessed via the four buttons on the top. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are 7 reticles currently available with several that are the equivalent of a first focal plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to the Infiray RH25 clip-on which I used as a handheld the RS75 is kind of chunky. It\u2019s twelve and a half inches long and weighs 44 ounces. I made lots of sitting offhand shots from the back of the truck and when filled with hunting adrenaline didn\u2019t notice the weight at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"InfiRay<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RS75 is recoil rated for up to 300 Win Mag<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

iRayUSA, the American distributor for InfiRay Outdoors, offers a 5-year warranty. Not only is that one of the longest warranties for digital optics but they also have a five-day turnaround guarantee should something go wrong.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of you already know that buying the best of anything is never inexpensive and the RS75 doesn\u2019t break that rule. How does the saying go? \u201cIf you have to ask what it costs, you probably can\u2019t afford it.\u201d MSRP for the InfiRay RICO HD RS75 is $17,999. All joking aside, that\u2019s MSRP and the street price will likely be a little less. For what it\u2019s worth, I have seen and used commercially available thermals and military thermals that both cost much more and that weren\u2019t as good as the InfiRay RICO HD RS75. Regardless of your budget, the RS75 is good news for all of us as the older technology should get cheaper and the other companies will have to innovate to keep up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

RICO HD RS75 units will be available in mid-late October. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A former professional sponsored 3-Gun and Multigun competitor with multiple championships and titles, True\u2019s shooting career began in long-range and tactical sniper matches\u2014and he still burns powder in precision competitions, now branching into Hunter NRL. A certified firearms instructor who has trained over 10,000 students face-to-face, True has also served on both sides of the courtroom as an attorney and currently as an elected Prosecuting Attorney. He has prosecuted and defended high-profile self-defense and firearms cases, giving him a unique, real-world perspective on the Second Amendment. Outside the courtroom and off the range, True is a true western outdoorsman. A lifelong hunter and rancher, he rides and hunts off his own string of horses and pack animals, chasing elk, mule deer, wolves, coyotes, and anything else in season. He\u2019s a longtime reloader, producing both precision rifle ammo and, back in the day, handloading over 40,000 rounds of 9mm and 5.56 annually for competition. He\u2019s also a thermal and night vision expert, known for his obsession with high-end optics, and is rarely found without a camera or a guitar nearby. Whether he\u2019s glassing a distant ridge, reviewing cutting-edge gear, or deep in legal research, True brings passion, precision, and grit to everything he does.
