AGM Varmint V2 LRF 35-640
The AGM Varmint V2 LRF 35-640 is a 640×512, 12 µm thermal riflescope behind a 35 mm lens, with a built-in laser rangefinder. On the Johnson yardstick that is an estimated 729 m detection and 182 m recognition range for a standing person; AGM Global Vision quotes 1,800 m detection (6 ft (1.8 m) object). At 18.3 oz it is 10th-lightest of the 36 riflescopes here, where the median is 27.5 oz.

Box claim vs. what the optics support
One pixel of this unit sees 0.343 mrad (12 µm ÷ 35 mm). Two pixels across a 0.5 m human is 0.5 ÷ (2 × 0.343) × 1000 = 729 m. The box figure is usually computed against a person’s 1.8 m height instead, which is why it comes out higher. Full explanation.

Derived here
Estimated from pixel pitch and lens focal length using the Johnson criteria (2, 8 and 13 pixels across a 0.5 m human critical dimension), clear air, 50 % probability. A model of the optics, not a measurement — real range depends on temperature contrast, humidity and the animal.

What the spec sheet says
Read from the published specifications and this catalog’s own numbers — not from owner reports, which we have not collected for this unit.
- 640×512 core — 3.0× the pixels of a 384-class unit
- 12 µm pitch — the 35 mm lens sees what a 17 µm core would need 50 mm to match
- Published NETD of <20 mK, 13th-lowest of the 51 units here that publish one
- Built-in laser rangefinder feeding a ballistic calculator
- Runs on 18650 cells you can swap in the field
- IP67 sealed — survives immersion, not just rain
- Records video and streams to a phone over Wi-Fi
- NETD published only as a ceiling (<20 mK), not a measured figure
- 8× top end is digital — everything past 2× is interpolated pixels
