The information you provide is priceless. It helps us budget guys make sound decisions on how to get the best bang for our buck. Thanks for your honest reviews Todd. ( And your videos of ya'll slamming hogs are an extra added bonus )
I’ve sent my ir Hunter back twice now and wish I’d never considered trijicon. I have several thermal optics (trijicon ir Hunter 35mm, ATN Thor LT 5-10x, and a Bering optics hogster 25mm) and have only had trouble with the trijicon. The trijicon wouldn’t stay zeroed and once I received it back after being repaired it would randomly show a washed out screen that a NUC or restart wouldn’t cure. Trijicon refuses to swap the scope since they can’t reproduce the newest issue. At this price point I expected a much more solid unit. The Bering optics hogster was intended to be my scanner and luckily has been very dependable unit that I’m hunting with while waiting on trijicon. I’ve had no issues with the trijicon either but it only gets used when my daughter joins me for a coyote hunt. This review was very accurate of the trijicon thermal products in showing that the view is comparable to units which are half the price of trijicon.
You got a lemon unfortunately, the chances of a Chinese Bering optic going out are exponentially higher. That doesn’t make you any happier I understand. Trijicon has been knocked out by Nvision they have a better optic, longer warranty, better service, for less money than Trijicons.
As always Tod great content very informative and educational for me I learn so much through your video's and just want to say thank you.cant wait for the next installment cheers mate
I have the 35mm which has been nice. Do you find there’s any POI shifts when zooming in? I usually shot on 1x and rarely, if ever 2x. 4x and 8x are unnecessary for our style of pig slaying
Making me wish I had more magnification than what I currently have! Farthest shot with my xp50 was 240 yds but would be way easier with that 60 you got! Nice video.
I’m wondering if you can show a shot group on paper. Say 5 shots at 100yards. And 5 shots at 200yards. I used a buddies thermal and it just isn’t as dialed in like our Nikon daytime scopes.
How hard is it to scan with the 60mm? And also the field of view appears to be 7 degrees on the 60, and 12 degrees on the 35 so what does that translate to at 100 yards? (How wife can you see?)
Todd, With your experience, what thermal gunsight would allow enough definition for a 300 yard shot? I shot a coyote with my Pulsar XD50a at a hair over 300 yards, but that’s not a range at which I have a lot of confidence at night. Also shot a opossum at 225 yards, but again, the limiting factor is my thermal optic. At these ranges, I use the 8x picture in picture function which blurs the target’s heat signature considerably. What optic, in your opinion, would provide enough resolution and optical power to accomplish this? Please don’t say, “An Apache.” :)
It’s only focused at 50 yards. This one is everything the breach should have been. www.hueyoutdoors.com/product/iray-mh25-mini-thermal-helmet-mountable-monocular-640x480-25mm/
Why do all IR scope trials shoot these videos in the daytime? It literally makes no sense to me. I think you mentioned the sun entirely too many times.
THOSE ARE NICE ,BUT AS I LIVE IN CA.I CANNOT HAVE ONE !!!! THANKS FOR THE VIEWING OF THERMAL SCOPES ,IN MY GENERATION ,THERMAL ,MEANT THERMAL UNDER WEAR ,I COULD HAVE USED ON OF THOSE BACK WHEN I WAS TRAPPING IN TEXAS !YEPPERS THOSE ARE NEAT ... GOD BLESS AND KEEP IT COMING..

Halo 50mm does what the 35mm and the 60mm in one package easy choice. I can run whatever I want cost is not a factor if I could chose only one commercial thermal today it would be the Halo LR.
@@LoneStarBoars Right on thanks. tell me more about that monocular you got, (MR-25. from IRAY). is it well worth that cost for a foreign brand? Ive been seriously contemplating that too. hows that compared to the trijicon mono?
@@LoneStarBoars Almost ordered the last trijicon reap-ir 60mm yesterday but saw this. I'm hunting hogs, Halo-lr 50 or reap-ir 35? Whats max "effective" range of halo and reap 35?
Great review but I can't afford a Ferrari either. I just ordered a lowly Pulsar XQ38a. $ 2,500.00 is enough for me.. Great scope though. Love your reviews 🐗🐗🐗🐗🐗
You'll like the Pulsar units, I have the RXQ30V and for 1900.00 dollars it's damn near awesome! These Trijicons (IR Defense was bought by Trijicon) are no doubt the "Cadillac" of thermal rifle scopes.

Thanks for posting! When Trijicon thermal scope videos are posted there are no "bad" videos. Those 640 BAE cores are the "Cadillac"!!
Thank-you for taking the time out to show us. God Bless.

Yes the pulsars need more magnification in a bad way.

Unless it’s mounted wrong the reticles do not move.
Thank you Todd
You are welcome.
How hard is it to scan with the 60mm?
And also the field of view appears to be 7 degrees on the 60, and 12 degrees on the 35 so what does that translate to at 100 yards? (How wife can you see?)
One day they will make thermals that are useful past 100y and under 5k
can you tell me you used the wolf's target by what. I mean the reflective stuff is needed to see in the thermal imager.
Those damn Chads always with the Reap IR.. tisk tisk
You mentioned 500yd shot with the 60mm. What method do you use for bullet drop?
Hold over
Todd,
With your experience, what thermal gunsight would allow enough definition for a 300 yard shot? I shot a coyote with my Pulsar XD50a at a hair over 300 yards, but that’s not a range at which I have a lot of confidence at night.

Please don’t say, “An Apache.” :)
Trijicon mk3 60mm or reap ir 60mm.
Lone Star Boars Thanks for your response. Been meaning to ask you for awhile.
I just bought a flir breach and am having serious buyers remorse. It’s not focused enough and it’s driving me crazy.
It’s only focused at 50 yards. This one is everything the breach should have been. www.hueyoutdoors.com/product/iray-mh25-mini-thermal-helmet-mountable-monocular-640x480-25mm/
I like the 60mm.
What does it look like compared to pitch dark night compared to a sunny night?
Why do all IR scope trials shoot these videos in the daytime? It literally makes no sense to me. I think you mentioned the sun entirely too many times.
you know how ir works? the time doesn't mater all that much it still throws the same sight pic dude
@@ronwhittaker6317 "dude" I have nvg and that is totally false.
@@troy3456789 these are thermal sights, not IR, they don't get affected by sunlight like your nvgs do
@@troy3456789 let me correct myself, they are affected by sunlight a bit, but not in the same ways as your IR nvgs

Who knows California isnt really America anymore it seems.
YEPPERS ,LAND OF FRUITS AND NUTS
I was really hoping this was real coyotes being shot lol
Soon
I’m looking to rent one of these scopes for a weekend tournament, how long would it take learn and get zero done? Thx love the channel
Not very long at all the numbers at the bottom of the screen represent 1” at 100 yards.
If price of trijicon was same as Halo LR which would you choose? These replies will decide for me before I buy.
Halo 50mm does what the 35mm and the 60mm in one package easy choice. I can run whatever I want cost is not a factor if I could chose only one commercial thermal today it would be the Halo LR.
