That is awesome to hear!!!!! I have really enjoyed this scope so far and any improvements are going to really take it to the next level!

​@@OwnTheHunt do you happen to know what it's recoil rated for?

@@tx4life274 I don’t know specifically but I do know there are some guys that have run really big game rifles with them and had no issues.

So you said the detection range for heat was 2000 yards yet the identification range for a ‘deer’ was 400 yards. Thats about a 4:1 ratio for identification to range. 400 yards is decent, but for $3799? Not really worth it. Im pretty sure Thor has a better cost for a 400 yard identification range, possibly having cut that cost in half though id have to recheck it to confirm. My point is almost $4000 for that? Id rather save my money.

Thank you!!!! I appreciate your feedback a lot!!

For sure!!! Thanks for watching!!!

Thank you bro!!!

You are looking at it wrong. You are correct in thinking that you are zooming the eye piece in on the display and shrinking your field of view however you are not digitally stretching the image which is how digital magnification works so you are not changing the pixel density of the base image by zooming in on it.

@@OwnTheHunt So, when I look at only a 640x360 portion of a viewing screen that is 1920x1080 I should feel there is a meaningful benefit by cropping away over 88% of the information? Perhaps the next innovation will be to zoom down to a 96x54 thumbnail at the center of the image and call it 20x optical zoom. Perhaps this makes some sense to users whose eyesight is challenged to the point the screen needs to be larger for them to get the benefit of the available information. To me it is a gimmick that might barely, or might not, help the manufacturer avoid a class action lawsuit based on misrepresentation of the product's features.

@@OwnTheHuntThe 640x360 sensor is already oversampled digitally to create 9 pixels from each pixel in the sensor. That is how we achieve a 1920x1080 viewing screen so technically base magnification is already digitally zoomed 3X. then looking at only 1/9 of the screen to achieve a 3X "Optical Zoom" now we have already zoomed 9X and the manual claims there has been no digital zoom yet we are looking at a 640x360 cropped image that represents data from only a 214x120 pixel section of the actual image sensor and telling ourselves we are looking at a 1920x1080 screen. There is no way to have a fully "optically zoomed" image that is based on 1/81 of the imaging sensor and not have already redefined reality by claiming 1.25% of the data is base resolution. Then if we further zoom "digitally" another 4x the entirety of our 1/9th screen view is based effectively on data from only a 54x30 pixel section of the sensor. The result is the same as any other 640x360 sensor being digitally zoomed 36:1 with each sensor pixel creating enough data to represent 1296 pixels of the screen we are looking at. Simply reducing the viewing screen from 1920x1080 to 640x360 would accomplish the same fully zoomed image and do it better. Of course, then you would have to claim a base magnification of 8.4x and acknowledge a really narrow field of view.

@@jamescolton1085 well it seems you have put an awful lot of thought into this. Don’t you think the thermal scope manufacturers have already thought of this as well? Trust me, the optical zoom is just a lens behind the OLED display that you can change the focal length of manually to look closer at that display. Nothing digitally happening here.

Didn’t really have that come into play during my testing. It’s highly capable of those yardages tho!

Thanks for the feedback it means a lot to me! Who did you order it through?

A small local gun shop down here in Pa. Longwall it’s called.

I’m not sure where you’re getting the 25% less pixels but the image quality says otherwise! This scope has an incredible image quality and it stands with and above scopes far more money than it.

@@OwnTheHunt 640x480 is the one most use, while their's is a 640x360. That said, it's not necessarily bad after I did some research. The 360 is the verticle value and I don't care as much for that as I do the horizontal where panning and FOV matter. Some people are giving them crap about the optical zoom which nobody has except them. Yes, it's zooming in on the display that you're looking at in the viewfinder, but that display is an OLED in 1920x1080, not a lower resolution like many others and that 1920 is still better than the sensor. Pretty smart idea if you ask me. Simple and effective to a point. Glad they thought of it and I'm buying one. Now I need to shop for my best deal.

@@fasnufno need to shop, check out Logan with Fall River Shooters on Facebook and never look back! Incredible customer service and support before, during, and after the sale. Tell him Own The Hunt sent you! Get you some free swag!

@@OwnTheHunt I'll look them up and give them a chance, but I have a coupon code for Optics Planet with 10% off up to $1000 off that might be hard to beat. Thanks for the video, hopefully they have good customer service down the road.

@@fasnuf I bet he will match thst

😂 no offense but you have some research to do

Extremely well! Up there with the best I have used in high humidity

It’s called RIX+

Visir inc is the deceloper

​@@OwnTheHuntawesome thanks. Just picked one up and as soon as i added the + at the end it showed up.

No pretty much all scopes on the market now have video recoding functionality. You don’t have to record if you don’t want to.

Atn has scopes without video recording

@@calabtate9592 atn = ewwwwww

They are adding this scope to the site today. I don’t believe there is a discount on this scope as of right now where it is so new.

Lol sorry bro I wasn’t able to have this on my rifle due to deer season, so I free handed most of the footage you saw. I do own a fatboy tripod which I consider the best on the market!

$3799 and if you look into thermal scopes that is a budget minded 640 resolution scope. Most 640 scopes are well over $5k

Look at Agm Rattler for true 'budget'.

The AGM rattler 50-640 is the exact same price and the RIX is a far better scope in every aspect so I’m not sure what the point of your comment was..

@@OneBadGun Read the first comment, dummy.

If you know anything about thermal scopes then you wouldn’t have commented this

Ok I’m not going to argue with you but it’s a form of optically zooming in on a display screen to make it appear larger.

lol don’t be salty…that’s just how much it costs

lol, $3800 and its budget for a 640 resolution thermal scope. Are you new to the thermal scope game?

Are you new to the "52% of Americans don't have more than 1K in their bank account" thing? Who is your target audience with this video? Daddy's money cucks and OnlyFans girls?@@OwnTheHunt

@@OwnTheHunt These guys crying about how much its costs are sitting here watching you review them as a form of window shopping. They are all gonna jump out and buy an ATN and wanna throw it out the window when they realize if you just spend the money up front you won’t have to do it twice. They will grow up eventually. I appreciate all the info you put in this review.
