What is a thermal scope used for?

Thermal scopes are used to detect heat signatures in total darkness or low-visibility conditions. Common uses include night hunting, surveillance, and search and rescue.

What is the difference between thermal scopes and night vision?

Night vision amplifies ambient light, while thermal scopes detect heat. Thermal scopes work better in complete darkness, fog, and smoke.

Do thermal scopes work in daylight?

Yes, thermal scopes work both day and night because they detect heat instead of visible light.

What resolution should I choose for a thermal scope?

Choose 640x480 or higher for long-range clarity. For mid-range or budget-friendly use, 320x240 is sufficient.

Are thermal scopes legal for hunting?

In many states, thermal scopes are legal for hunting certain animals like hogs or coyotes. Always check local regulations before use.

🔥 Thermal Scopes for Hunting, Tactical, and Night Ops

Whether you're tracking hogs at night or scanning a wide perimeter, Mounts Plus brings you the top-performing thermal optics from ATN, AGM, and Holosun.

What Is a Thermal Scope?

A thermal scope is a high-tech optic that uses infrared sensors to detect heat, not light. This allows you to identify living targets—animals or people—even when visibility is zero. Unlike traditional night vision, thermal scopes don’t rely on ambient light and work day or night.

Why Thermal Scopes Outperform Night Vision

Night vision amplifies light. Thermal scopes detect heat. That difference matters when:

It’s pitch black
There’s smoke, dust, or fog
You need to spot camouflaged or hidden targets
You're tracking movement over long distances

With a thermal optic, nothing escapes your sight — even when you can’t see with your own eyes.
