If you are a rifle hunter, a thermal imaging rifle scope must be either in your gear list. Using a thermal rifle scope doubles your hunting time, and improve your safety in nighttime activities. You might be very familiar with your thermal imaging rifle scope, but there are still 5 interesting things that you might not know about your best night hunt partner.
Are thermal scopes legal? This question is a little misleading. Owning a thermal imaging rifle scope is perfectly legal as long as you obtain in legal ways. However, the legal use of your thermal imaging rifle scopes can be more complicated. In some states in the United States of America, night hunting is prohibited. There are two outstanding reasons for it. One is that the lawmakers believe vision will be compromised at night.
Many hunters may have this question: should I buy night vision goggles (In case you are not clear, check out this article about monocular and binoculars) or a thermal imaging rifle scope? The answer is simple: get both instead of either one of them.
Thermal scopes deliver better range, accuracy, image quality, and stability. More importantly, they work perfectly with your rifles. For instance, Dali Tech’s RS1 series features a universal fixture, which means it is adaptable for many rifles. On the other hand, night vision goggles help you walk the woods and collect your game better at night.
