This week on the podcast Hans and Jason bring you their top picks for the "Best Thermal Rifle Scopes Under $4,000 for 2024". With over 10 excellent thermal scopes in this category, the competition is extremely tough. With some of the top 384 and 640 thermal scopes on this list the decision on which models are our favorites was extremely difficult. Both coyote and hog hunters have a great selection of optics in this category. If you're in the market for a thermal scope under $4,000 you will not want to miss this episode!

As we continue our commitment to bringing you the latest and breaking news in the night, vision and thermal industry, today we are here with another exciting announcement.

While this might be a new brand, the people and company behind it are by no means new to the night hunting industry. Watch this show to learn all about Dark 30, who they are and what we can expect to see coming from them soon!

Welcome back to the 2024 Late Night Vision Show “Best of” series! This year we kick it off with Hans and Jason discussing the list of digital night vision rifle scopes and then picking their favorites from the group. The competition is getting stronger in this category as the quality and features continue to increase. If you’re looking to get into night hunting on a budget and aren’t ready to jump into the thermal scope world, check this show out and see which scopes we choose as our top picks for 2024.

One of the most common questions that is asked by people who are looking to purchase their first thermal optic is if it can be used during the daytime. This answer requires a little more than a simple, “yes” or “no”.  Most often Hans and Jason will say “yes but….”, as the answer requires a more detailed explanation. On this weeks episode of The Late Night Vision Show we discuss the realistic uses of thermal optics for both scanning and hunting during the daylight hours. If this is a question that you have as well be sure to check out this episode!

The time has finally come. After many long months of delays, very limited production and some of the highest demand we’ve seen for a scope in years, the review is finally here. This episode Hans and Jason dedicate to the review of the Infiray Outdoor Rico MK2 RH50R. The RH50R is without out a doubt one of, if not THE scope with the biggest buzz and most demand for 2024. Check out this review to see if Hans and Jason believe the RH50R is really one of the best scopes of the year or if it’s just another good scope on long list of other good scopes.

It’s interview time and this week we are honored and pleased to have Ryan Killian, the National Sales Manager for SilencerCo, on The Late Night Vision Show. Ryan is a hunter, a shooting enthusiast, a family man and an expert on all things suppressors. We sit down for an in depth discussion on SilencerCo, the current suppressor market, how the suppressor market is chasing snd evolving and we even get a sneak peek at what’s coming soon from SilencerCo. If you have any interest in suppressors you will enjoy this interview and discussion with Ryan.

The only thing we love more than a great thermal optic model is when the manufacturer makes that great model even better. Say hello to the AGM Seeker handheld thermal lineup. These units replace the Taipan models and all Seekers use a fully removable 18650 rechargeable batteries. If you’re looking for a small, compact, very affordable thermal handheld then you’ll want to check out the Seeker TM15-384, TM19-384 and the the TM25-384. On this episode we review all 3 models and tell you who each model is best for.

One source of common confusion among our customers at Outdoor Legacy is the difference in thermal resolutions. With lower resolution like 256x192 being used in more optics and ultra high HD resolutions like 1024 and 1280 becoming more common and 384 and 640 resolutions becoming more affordable than ever, thermal buyers are increasingly confused on which they need and what the realistic capabilities of each are. In today’s podcast Hans and Jason dissect each resolution category and discuss what can be expected from them all. Listen in and learn which resolution might be right for you. 

As more and more ultra high resolution optics come to the market, today we’re happy to review our first 1024x768 thermal handheld, the Pulsar Telos XL50. Pulsar has brought both a 1024 resolution thermal binoculars and a dedicated thermal LRF scope, but now they top it off with a handheld monocular. And the best part is the pricing keeps keeps getting better and better. Hans and Jason review this monocular and tell you what you can really expect from it and explain who it’s good for.
