Thermal optics completely change the hunting experience and change the typical aiming process. A thermal sight allows you to see hidden targets like a coyote crouched behind a clump of grass. With a traditional optic, you would see the clump of grass but not the coyote. With a thermal optic, that coyote can be seen as plain as day. Add a wide field of view of a reflex sight, and you have the basis of the X-Vision Flex 2, which combines a thermal sight with the speed of a reflex sight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"611\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5743-1024x611.jpg\" alt=\"X-Vision Flex2 mounted to an AR15\" class=\"wp-image-213097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5743-1024x611.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5743-400x239.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5743-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5743-768x459.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5743-1536x917.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5743-2048x1223.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-x-vision-flex-2-feature-set\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"x-vision-flex-2-review-reflex-style-thermal-sight\" title=\"X-Vision Flex 2 Review: Reflex Style Thermal Sight\" data-level=\"2\">X-Vision Flex 2 Feature Set<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#h-display\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"x-vision-flex-2-review-reflex-style-thermal-sight\" title=\"X-Vision Flex 2 Review: Reflex Style Thermal Sight\" data-level=\"3\">Display<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-quick-release-rail\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"x-vision-flex-2-review-reflex-style-thermal-sight\" title=\"X-Vision Flex 2 Review: Reflex Style Thermal Sight\" data-level=\"3\">Quick-Release Rail<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-pros-and-cons\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"x-vision-flex-2-review-reflex-style-thermal-sight\" title=\"X-Vision Flex 2 Review: Reflex Style Thermal Sight\" data-level=\"2\">Pros and Cons<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-zeroing-in-the-x-vision-flex-2\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"x-vision-flex-2-review-reflex-style-thermal-sight\" title=\"X-Vision Flex 2 Review: Reflex Style Thermal Sight\" data-level=\"2\">Zeroing In The X-Vision Flex 2<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#h-customizing-with-the-controls\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"x-vision-flex-2-review-reflex-style-thermal-sight\" title=\"X-Vision Flex 2 Review: Reflex Style Thermal Sight\" data-level=\"3\">Customizing with the Controls<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-running-the-x-vision-flex-2\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"x-vision-flex-2-review-reflex-style-thermal-sight\" title=\"X-Vision Flex 2 Review: Reflex Style Thermal Sight\" data-level=\"2\">Running The X-Vision Flex 2<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-conclusion\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"x-vision-flex-2-review-reflex-style-thermal-sight\" title=\"X-Vision Flex 2 Review: Reflex Style Thermal Sight\" data-level=\"2\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-x-vision-flex-2-feature-set\">X-Vision Flex 2 Feature Set<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A thermal optic is not a typical optic. Consider a thermal optic more like a computer. Instead of looking through the lens at a target, the thermal creates a picture of heat in pixels, which appears on a screen. The X-Vision Flex 2 has one of the largest screens on any thermal optic. It features a 2.56-inch AMOLED screen, similar to what is used on a smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-display\">Display<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A 25mm objective lens in the front of the unit gathers the visual data and displays it on the screen. The lens is focused using the ring on the objective lens. The display is customized by using the joystick control. Fewer buttons make the optic simpler to use. The Flex 2 makes it easy to customize the display. I needed to run through the menu a few times before it became rote, but it is user-friendly. If you can use a smartphone, you can use the X-Vision Flex 2.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"901\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5745-901x1024.jpg\" alt=\"X-Vision Flex2 controls\" class=\"wp-image-213098\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5745-901x1024.jpg 901w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5745-264x300.jpg 264w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5745-132x150.jpg 132w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5745-768x873.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5745-1351x1536.jpg 1351w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5745-1802x2048.jpg 1802w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 901px) 100vw, 901px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The X-Vision Flex 2 has two buttons. The gray button powers up the sight, and the black button is a joystick.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The screen, when powered up, displays status info at the top edge for color palette, contrast highlight, magnification, zeroing distance, laser, battery life and more. You can adjust screen brightness, magnification, image colors, reticle type and reticle colors. You can also set up the sight with different calibers, so in theory, you can remove the sight and attach it to different rifles. The Fex 2 can be attached to a grip, and then you can use the optic to scan and view without the sight mounted to a rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quick-release-rail\">Quick-Release Rail<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The quick-release Picatinny rail makes moving the Flex 2 from a rifle to the grip easy. I didn\u2019t see a major shift in point of impact when I swapped the optic between the grip and rifle. The mount allows mounting the Flex 2 to any firearm with a rail, so that means shotguns and handguns are potential recipients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5748-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"adjusting focus of X-Vision Flex2\" class=\"wp-image-213099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5748-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5748-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5748-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5748-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5748-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5748-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The image is focused using the ring on the objective lens. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The picture-in-picture feature mode allows you to view the target at twice what the main screen is showing. There are six reticles in four colors, and five color palettes. You can also take photos or record videos. I would have liked to see a slot for an SD card, since the Flex 2 is only compatible with PC devices, not Apple devices. This is also a reason to have an app for the sight to store sighting-in data, photos, and videos. The Flex 2 has all the features you expect in a thermal optic. It also features a built-in range finder with a 1,700-yard detection range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I first attached the Flex 2 to the grip and used it to view deer and squirrels. Images are clear, making it easy to identify baby bucks and baby does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5484-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"X-Vision Flex2 thermal view has multiple color palettes. \" class=\"wp-image-213100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5484-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5484-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5484-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5484-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5484-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5484-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">X-Vision Flex 2 thermal view has multiple color palettes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros-and-cons\">Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The list of Pros for the Flexv2 is obvious: compact, yet large screen; user-friendly controls; and fast and easy mounting.

Starting at 25 yards, I taped a hand warmer to a piece of cardboard. The hand warmer popped on the Flex 2 screen. You could also use a piece of black tape on light colored cardboard.&nbsp; I used a rest and fired a round, then in the menu, I used the joystick to move the reticle to the point of impact. To zero, you chase the holes from your original aiming point. That was easy. I tweaked the zero so it was dead on at 100 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"932\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5476-1024x932.jpg\" alt=\"image of an animal through a thermal scope\" class=\"wp-image-213103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5476-1024x932.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5476-329x300.jpg 329w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5476-150x137.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5476-768x699.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5476-1536x1399.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/X-Vision-Flex-2-Review-sadowski-gusnamericaIMG_5476-2048x1865.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You can adjust screen brightness, and this is important depending on the lighting conditions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I used the Flex 2 in high noon sunlight and low-light, dark conditions.
