Walk any booth row at SHOT or IWA and you’ll see them: sleek rifles topped with a thermal scope with rangefinder. Sometimes the rangefinder is clearly a bulge on the objective bell; sometimes it’s almost invisible, buried behind the bezel.…
When a buyer first looks through a thermal optic, you usually have about thirty seconds to impress them. If your thermal scope targets are dull, hard to see or badly set up, the user blames the scope—not the target. If…
