Trijicon IR Hunter 35mm Thermal Rifle Scope-14x Zoom and DVR

The IR-Hunter 35mm scope is excellent for serious nighttime hunting, ranching, or tactical applications where high-quality performance and accuracy are needed in total darkness and poor weather conditions. As one of the best thermal optics available, the thermal rifle scope features a 640x480 12 μm thermal sensor, 1.75x magnification, and 14x zoom with an integrated DVR.

The IR-Hunter can also detect and track targets with high contrast and clarity at long ranges, making it usable for finding heat signatures through heavy rain, fog, brush, and smoke, or complete darkness. The IR-Hunter 35mm performs reliably and consistently for hunters pursuing hogs, tracking predators, defending property, or conducting surveillance at night.

It is manufactured with a rugged aluminum alloy housing, an IP67 waterproof rating, and simple, ambidextrous control systems. The IR-Hunter is designed to provide dependable performance under the harshest field conditions.

1. 640 x 480 Thermal Imager

This device allows for high-resolution thermal imaging with excellent heat signature detection, which gives the user the ability to positively target even in total darkness or poor weather conditions.

2. 1.75 x Optical Magnification & 14 x Total Zoom

This feature enables the user to detect, identify, and engage targets at various distances with additional clarity and precision.

3. 35 mm Germanium Objective Lens

This lens improves thermal image clarity and contrast while at the same time optimising heat detection through fog, smoke, leaves, rain, and dust.

4. Smooth 60 Hz Refresh Rate

This feature gives the user fluid real-time thermal imaging for precise tracking of moving animals and fast-moving targets with no delay or motion blur.

5. On Board DVR Recording

This feature allows the user to capture HD video of hunts, document engagement, and review video upon conclusion of the hunt or mission.

6. Rugged IP67 Waterproof Construction

This feature allows the user to utilize the thermal imager in extremely harsh outdoor elements and provides water, dust, impact, and extreme temperature protection.

7. Manual Ballistic Reticle Profiles

This feature allows the user to set up custom zeroing profiles and reticle settings for improved accuracy using multiple rifles or types of ammunition.

8. Ambidextrous Knob-Based Controls

This feature provides the user with fast and intuitive operation in the field while wearing gloves or under duress.

1. Hunting Performance in Nighttime Situations

When hunters use the IR Hunter 35mm to hunt wild boar or to kill predators in a night environment, they don’t need to worry about identifying heat sources that they cannot see with their traditional nighttime optics.

2. Imaging Quality During Inclement Weather

Standard rifle scopes have issues with identifying and tracking targets during inclement weather. The hunter can utilize thermal imaging to achieve complete visibility of the target in foggy weather, in heavy smoke, in light rain, with dust obstacles present, and in dense vegetation.

4. Security & Tactical Operations

During perimeter monitoring of an in-house ranch or an area surrounding a ranch, using this device is very effective in supporting a ranch security operation.

5. Tracking Running and Other Moving Targets

The IR Hunter 35mm has a refresh rate of 60 times per second, which allows for superb visibility when tracking moving targets, such as wild boar or coyotes, that are actively running away from the line of sight.

• Hog Hunting: Thermal technology provides a hunter the capability to locate and follow the activity of wild boar from long distances during complete darkness.

• Predator Hunting: When checking a field for coyotes or other predatory animals that have moved through that area and are located after sundown, this device will enable the hunter.

• Livestock and Ranch Surveillance: The hunter can use thermal technology to monitor livestock or to monitor livestock in the area of perimeter fence lines, in remote areas of the ranch, or to observe if intruders could be entering the ranch property.

• Tactical Operations: When observing individuals in the course of their daily activities while performing security operations, the IR Hunter 35mm works well for nighttime patrol sweeps.
