Superb equipment, but made for right handed shooters
I transitioned from an Armasight Zeus Pro 336-60 3x12 to this scope. At twice the cost of the Armasight, it was a little difficult to justify initially. But boy oh boy, this scope is twice as clear. Out of the box, in pitch dark, I could tell if a cat 40 yards away was wearing a collar or not. I...

Great unit- until it breaks out of warranty and you are HOSED.
Mine is a 35mm REAP-IR (mfr 2016) which developed a strange issue where it would show a split screen on boot and not function (goes to a white fuzzy unresponsive screen)- but if you turn it on and off several times, eventually you get a "good" boot and it works. It will work fine until you turn it o...

It is worth every penny
The review format is quite limiting, so I’ll try answer the questions that I had while buying Trijicon thermal optics.
Q: Is the image as clear and as crisp as they show in advertising videos?
Yes, it is. Up to me it is even better than in most demos that I saw before purchase. If it is not, the device may have a problem. Thanks to OpticsPlanet, such problem can be easily resolved. That’s my personal experience.
Q: Is it worth to waste that much money comparing cheaper devices?
Yes, it is. I also have EOTech’s 320x200 thermal monocular and… They simply cannot be compared. EOTech is practically good to distinguish the heat source of a man or deer size at distances up to 100-150 yards or to detect heat insulation problems. Trijicon is a true VISION device. It is sensitive enough to recognize a paper IPSC or IDPA target on the basement drywall (not easy task for a thermal device!). It works a little bit better with 3M aluminum foil tape as a target, but I was able to tune it up to see regular shoot’n’see targets at 50 and 100 yards distance. So, it seems to me, it can be used as full-featured night vision device, not just a “heat detector”.
Q: May it be used in front of day optics?
Yes, but not as it may be expected and it seems not be designed to be used this way.
It is NOT a true clip-on device, the image is shifted comparing the day scope. You will have to zero it separately and then use Reap-IR’s recticle instead of day optics recticle.
The day optics should to have...
