The Late Night Vision Show

Folks, it's rare for us to say any optic is the "best" at something, not just our favorite or "one of the best" but "The Best". Today on this episode, we make this very large claim and we do it without shame when talking about the long range abilities of the new Infiray Outdoor Hybrid 75 4x 640 resolution thermal rifle scope. This optic offers an image quality pai...

The time has come for the kick off of our "Best Optics of 2023" show series as usual we're getting started with one of the most popular categories that we call "Entry Level Thermal".

On Ep. 288 of The Late Night Vision Show Jason and Hans discuss the topic of using a thermal rifle scope as both a scope and a handheld thermal for scanning. On last week's show they talked about more budget friendly options for buying a thermal monocular and a digital night vision scope but many people still prefer to spend their money on a single thermal optic and then possibly buy a dedicat...

Often times we get phone calls from customers who are looking to find a high quality, yet affordable combination of a night vision and a thermal handheld. The benefit of this setup is being able to use the thermal monocular for quick detection of animals and using the night vision scope for positively identifying and shooting the animal. This is an excellent combo for hunters on a somewhat tighter...

While we get to review tons of new and improved scopes, it's not often we get to review a scope that we'd say was revolutionary to the thermal or NV industry. Today, however, we can make that claim. Hans and Jason are proud to introduce the brand new Pulsar Thermion 2 XL50 1024x768 thermal rifle scope! Yes that's right, 1024 thermal sensor resolution. We are blessed to have had this sc...

On this episode we are re-visiting a topic we discussed over a year ago but it's such a common question, we decided it was worth discussing again.

This week we take the time to discuss this topic and offer some suggestions on when a laser range...

It's hard to believe it's that time again already but as fall is in full swing, whitetail deer seasons begin opening all across the US.

These scopes have been on the market for awhile and are extremely popular for many reasons but the common th...
