Trijicon Thermal Riflescope - Ir Hunter Type 2 24mm Black

The Trijicon Thermal Riflescope IR Hunter Type 2 24mm in Black is a compact, battery-powered thermal imaging optic designed for precision shooting in complete darkness, heavy cover, and adverse weather conditions. Built around a 640×480 thermal sensor, this scope delivers the thermal imaging capability required for extended range target acquisition where conventional optics reach their limit.

The optical system combines 1.2× fixed optical magnification with 1–8× digital zoom, providing flexible magnification options for varied engagement distances. The 18-degree field of view establishes situational awareness while maintaining target resolution. The thermal imaging platform operates on two CR123 batteries, offering extended field runtime without external power infrastructure. User-selectable reticle choices enable customization for specific mission profiles. The redesigned USB-C connector and improved battery compartment streamline field maintenance and reduce downtime during operations. The integrated mini Picatinny rail mount supports lightweight accessory attachment, critical for maintaining optical zero and instrument stability.

This thermal riflescope serves law enforcement tactical teams, military special operations units, and serious hunters requiring thermal imaging in low-light and zero-light environments. The compact 9.75-inch length and 5.15-pound weight integrate efficiently on precision rifles without introducing excessive forward-mounted mass. Thermal imaging eliminates target detection challenges caused by darkness, fog, smoke, and dense vegetation—conditions where passive night vision and conventional magnified optics fail. The faster system control architecture reduces acquisition time during dynamic tactical scenarios.

Thermal riflescopes represent a distinct category from traditional day optics and image intensifier night vision, offering superior target recognition through thermal contrast rather than ambient light amplification. The 640×480 resolution standard balances thermal detail against system weight, power consumption, and optical field of view—a proven configuration in professional thermal imaging optics.
