How long do thermal scopes last?
A good quality thermal scope may offer power for nearly 8 hours after a single charge. Pay attention to which batteries the device comes with.
What distance should I sight in my thermal scope?
The distance that you set up your target depends on what you’re shooting, but since you set up thermal scopes on rifles most of the time, it’s typical to set your target up 100 yards out.

What is the difference between FLIR and thermal?
FLIRs make pictures from heat, not visible light. Heat (also called infrared, or thermal, energy) and light are both parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, but a camera that can detect visible light won’t see thermal energy, and vice versa.
Can a thermal scope see through fog?
Although thermal imaging cameras can see in total darkness, through light fog, light rain, and snow, the distance they can see is affected by these atmospheric conditions.
What can damage a thermal scope?
While it might be expected that rain and wind can damage a poorly designed or poorly assembled camera, the sun is also capable of damaging the sensitive thermal detector in certain thermal imaging cameras not designed to the standards that Flir Systems maintains.
Is night vision better than thermal?
Thermal scopes can easily detect animals or moving objects from a long distance whether it is day or night. Their detection is better than night vision scopes. Even in the roughest weather, they can help you see (except in extreme cold).
