Armasight quotes 1,300 m, 1.8× our figure, because makers usually measure against a person’s full height rather than their width. Why the numbers differ

02Pros and cons

From the published specs, not owner reports.

For it

640×480 sensor, 2.8× the detail of an entry-level 384
Smooth 60 Hz picture on a running animal
Takes CR123 batteries you can swap in the field
Waterproof (IP67), survives a dunking

Against it

Sensitivity (NETD) not published
Only 4 h of battery
Short 35 mm lens: a wide view, but less reach than a 50 mm scope
No rangefinder, so you judge distance by eye
Zoom past 1.5× is digital and gets blurry
