Thermal Scopes

[Dan Newcombe]

Anyone with experience of thermal scopes able to tell me the real world difference between the HIK 50 and 35 lines. Seems a good deal on the stellar 35 but wondering if it would be lacking in the real world for shooting foxes and deer at reasonable ranges

Think of it as a 4x mag scope vs a 6x mag scope.

That really handy cheers.

I’m still using a Helion xq38 so I’m a bit apprehensive that the difference between these thermal scopes is like that compared to mergers et al and il be disappointed.

The Stellar SH35L and SH50L are decent for a 384 sensor, combinee that with the 2560px display and better again..

So Blackwood has led me down a rabbit hole.

I’ve discarded the SH35 in favour of the SH50 but he’s doing the infiray th50

InfiRay Tube TH50 V2 Thermal Scope

The InfiRay Tube TH50 V2 thermal rifle scope features a cutting-edge thermal sensor with 640x512 resolution and sub-25mk NETD, providing stunning detail.

Which has a better sensor which appeals.

Does anyone have experience of them both and are there any thoughts on if I would be better with the RF on the Stellar than the better picture of the Infiray

Cheers

I just bought a Stellar SH35, it’s the same 384 sensor as my original Condor spotter but the image quality from Image pro2 and 2560 display are light years ahead. The crispness to the image when using the zoom is so much improved over my spotter.
I was worried that the Stellar image would be the same as the Condor but it’s much much better.

Cheers for the thoughts.

Have gone for the HIK SH50 - see how it goes

The Infiray Tube TH50 V2 is superb at that price point with a 2560px display and 640px sensor. Although the Stellar SH50L 3.0 is probably the best 384px scope out there, due to the high mag 6.0x and 2560px display combo, ideal for long range.
