The Sightmark Shade 3.5-28×30 Thermal Riflescope delivers big performance in a compact footprint. Built for hunters who demand clarity, reach, and reliability after dark, this upgraded model features a higher-resolution 1280×720 FLCOS display and a larger 30mm objective lens than its 2-16x counterpart, giving you more detail and a tighter 8.7° field of view for identifying heat signatures at extended distances.

The 256×192 thermal sensor, combined with a <50 mK NETD sensitivity at 50 Hz, ensures crisp contrast even in dense brush and changing weather conditions. With a 3.5x optical zoom and up to 8x digital magnification, the Shade 3.5-28×30 provides flexible targeting whether you’re scanning a treeline or locking onto movement across a field. Onboard video recording and support for up to 256GB of storage let you capture every shot and track with ease.

Housed in a rugged aluminum body and mounted via Picatinny rail, the Shade offers 3.5 hours of operation in video mode on two CR123A batteries, with the option for USB external power. At just over 20 ounces, it balances durability with portability—perfect for long nights in the stand or long hikes through uneven terrain.
