Reviews & Ratings for Trijicon Electro Optics SNIPE-IR 35mm Clip-On Thermal Imaging Monocular — 2 reviews — Page 1

if you want to use one thermal on more than weapon then this is the one. Developed to use with 4x acog but will work with other low magnification optics. Returns to zero everytime. This works well in stand alone mode with a 3x magnifier . Simply put you can switch between 2 weapons this way and allways be on target.Clearest image of any thermal.

Unfortunately, I've used the scope just for one day and I didn't have a chance to take it to the range. So, my review is quite limited to very first impressions.

1) Very Good

First of all, it provides very fine details. Contrast and focus adjustments, seven view modes allowed me to find perfect settings for each situation I've tested it, including my basement. This is only thermal device I've ever tried that was able to find an IDPA target on a basement drywall (cardboard and drywall have very similar thermal signature). That's truly exceptional. I even think that it should be possible to zero it using regular cardboard targets, without all these foil tricks to make a cardboard target visible on thermal. I wish I could try it myself.

Second, they really succeed in reducing the washing of details by the sky and large surfaces. Just wait a moment and the scope readjusts itself to provide maximum details in the center.

Third, there is no freezing or other unpleasant effects that I have on my cheaper 320x240x30Hz thermal monocular and clip-on. Move is really smooth (even at 30Hz, by the way).

Digital zoom is good. 2x digital zoom is simply perfect. I couldn't see any difference in details. 4x digital zoom provides image similar in contrast and details with my Eotech X320 thermal monocular, so usable too.

Screen picture is extremely good and usable at 6x of day scope zoom (1.5x magnification), then survives 8x zoom (2x magnification), but then becomes too blurred at least f...
