Armasight quotes 932 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
  • Smooth 60 Hz picture on a running animal
  • Takes CR123 batteries you can swap in the field
  • Waterproof (IP67), survives a dunking
  • Records video and connects to a phone app
  • ~$1,649, well under the ~$3,000 typical for riflescopes here
Against it
  • Only 4 h of battery
  • Short 25 mm lens: a wide view, but less reach than a 50 mm scope
  • No rangefinder, so you judge distance by eye
  • Entry-level 320×240 sensor, with less detail than a 640
