ThermTec Scout 225 Thermal Sight 50Hz 25mm

The ThermTec Scout 225 is a high-performance, compact thermal rifle scope engineered specifically to meet the demands of the modern hunter. While its 256×192 thermal sensor puts it in an accessible, budget-friendly class, its premium hardware completely redefines entry-level expectations. Boasting an ultra-sensitive NETD =20mK thermal core, a fast F0.9 aperture lens, and an integrated ballistic calculator, the Scout 225 delivers elite detection clarity and target precision in a lightweight, rugged package. Having a ballistic calculator integrated directly into a 256-resolution scope is incredibly rare and a massive win for Kiwi hunters. It allows shooters to input their ammunition data so the scope can automatically calculate exactly where to hold over for long-range shots.

Whether you are clearing rabbits and wallabies under the stars or tracking larger game through dense bush, the Scout 225 offers unmatched price-to-performance versatility. it is a highly competitive, feature packed entry level scope beautifully suited for New Zealand's hunters and conditions.

Features

Ultra-Sensitive NETD =20mK Core

Experience incredible image detail even in the worst weather. The class-leading =20mK thermal sensitivity detects minute temperature differences, cutting through thick fog, heavy rain, and dense cover to reveal clear target profiles.

Premium 25mm F0.9 Optics

Equipped with a fast F0.9 lens, the Scout 225 captures significantly more infrared radiation than standard F1.0 or F1.2 lenses. This maximizes your image clarity and provides a sharp 3.6x native optical magnification with up to 4x digital zoom.

Integrated Ballistic Calculator

Eliminate the guesswork on longer-range shots. The built-in ballistic calculator allows you to input your specific rifle and ammunition data, providing real-time holdover points directly on your reticle.

Recoil Activated Video (RAV) with Audio

Never miss a moment of the action. RAV automatically saves video footage starting just before your shot is fired. Combined with audio recording and On-Screen Display (OSD) recording, your videos will capture your reticle and thermal palette exactly as you saw them.

10-Hour Field Life via Swappable 18650 Battery

Forget about proprietary internal batteries. The Scout 225 runs on a single, standard 18650 rechargeable battery providing up to 10 hours of runtime. Bring a spare in your pocket to stay powered indefinitely, backed by battery reverse-polarity protection.

Rugged, Lightweight, and Recoil Rated

Weighing just 520g, this compact sight won't unbalance lightweight rimfires or bush rifles. Despite its small footprint, it is rated to withstand up to 6000J of recoil (suitable for heavy centerfires like .308 or .300 Win Mag) and features an IP67 waterproof rating.
