Reviews & Ratings for AGM Global Vision Rattler TS19-256 2.5-20x 19mm Thermal Imaging Rifle Scope — 7 reviews — Page 1

The scope drains batteries even when off, when it has a full charge it dies in under 30 minutes. Sometimes it just randomly turns off when it does have fully charged batteries. The 2.5 zoom is more like 3x and has been a disappointment viewing anything under 20 yards. I would not recommend this to anyone.

After a year of trying to kill hogs under feeder mounted green lights, I finally picked up this scope. It arrived quickly but without the 2 screws that attach the scope to the base...UGH! Called AGM and they sent the screws separately, but I was able to find screws that fit at Home Depot so I could use it immediately. Mounted on a .300 blackout. I also purchased the external power supply.
The second task was zeroing. The instruction book is nearly worthless for this task, it does not even cover how to "freeze" the frame when moving the reticle. This is why I gave it 4-stars. For that task I used the YouTube tutorial which was better but not awesome as it doesn't really cover how one would use the various profiles or if the zero changes if you change reticles or zoom settings within a profile, etc.
I managed to get it zeroed after about 12 rounds and went out on my first night hunt. Needless to say, I was having doubts about the zero and what would happen under live fire conditions. However, this is when the scope proved that it is a game changer. After about 30 minutes in the stand, a big pig walked into the feeder at about 65 yards, lined up the shot and made the kill. Almost too easy. Looking forward to culling the overpopulated hogs tearing up our south Texas hay pastures. I feel like it was a good investment.

Good entry level thermal and a reasonable price. Easy to locate targets with the different modes. Batteries dont last long but an extrnal power supply would make it a lot better. It mounts and sights in very easy and the option for up to 5 guns is also very nice.

I bought thermal to use in the yard and around the house, it's been fantastic to see everything that goes on in my yard at night. Lol.

i like this. it works day or night. but the instruction book is worthless.
i called and the company told me there is a private (private?) video online,
but no company video. three months later i still can't set the cross hairs.
the private video is very sincere but not that clear. the company needs to
post a CLEAR video. if someone showed me how to set this up i'm sure it would
all be easy peasy. i do like it and you can use it DURING THE DAY as well.
real thermal vision for cheap. i am NOT paying thousands of dollars for it.
