From Armasight about Predator Thermal Riflescope 60HZ TAT176WN2PRED21
Armasight is excited to introduce its latest and most technologically advanced family of Predator thermal imaging weapon sights to the sporting, law enforcement, and military markets. The Predator product line is based on the latest FLIR Tau 2 VOx microbolometer core. Each model of the line has optimizing performance, price, and state-of-the-art technology for a variety of uses and mission applications ranging from the seriously committed hunter to the military designated marksman. While primarily designed as a weapon scope, the Predator functions equally well in its collateral assignments as a magnified spotting scope or handheld thermal imager.
The Predator is a solid state, uncooled, long-wave infrared, magnified dedicated weapon scope intended for day and night engagements without the need to remove the sight from the rifle. The 24/7 mission capability is just one of its many strengths. Thermal imaging technology also allows you to detect targets by cutting through snow, dust, smoke, fog, haze, and other atmospheric obscurants. Unlike the use of laser targeting or near-infrared illumination to augment Night Vision equipment, the Predator thermal imaging weapon sight is extremely difficult to detect with other devices, as it emits no visible light or RF energy.
In addition to being the smallest and lightest in their class, Predator thermal imaging weapon sights are characterized by their simple and intuitive controls, functions, and features that are layered among direct button adjustments, direct combination button functions, and electronic menu selections. This “layering” of easy-to- understand control functions provides the operator with a framework for customizing his preferences and exploiting the robust variety of setting options available in the Predator. The Predator has a series of selectable color modes based on a rich, upgrade-able software package. A wireless remote switch is included to activate the Predator thermal imaging weapon sight when positioned in the “standby” mode. The Predator has the ability to record videos with optional Digital Video Recorder and is also equipped with a video-out capability in operator select-able NTSC or PAL formats. The Predator uses the same multipin connector to provide video-in imagery, where there is a need for map or rangefinder display overlays, and external power access.
Predator weapon installation is easy, repeatable, and reliable based on a unique and highly user-friendly MIL-STD-1913/ Weaver/ Picatinny rail-compatible, quick-release locking mechanism. The solid state technology and software algorithms, combined with a complementary color reticle platform, ensures maximum reticle contrast, high level target accuracy, and boresight retention that cannot be achieved with mechanical boresight adjusters and traditional ballistic drums. This level of accuracy is translated into the electronic zoom (e-zoom) function of the Predator thermal imaging weapon sights, which can be progressively increased from 1x to 2x and 4x, without changing the point of-aim to point of-impact relationship of the targeting reticle. The Predator thermal imaging weapon sight represents one of the most sophisticated sighting devices available in today’s market to hunters, SWAT teams, and military personnel, due to its superior price-to-performance value.

Thermal Imaging
Please note that most thermal devices are built per order. It may take 3-5 days or more for your order to ship. If timely shipping is important to you, please, contact us to verify availability prior to ordering.
Thermal devices can produce various types of images. Some are color others are monochrome. In either case change in shade or color indicates temperature differences.
Here is how thermal imaging devices work...
A special lens focuses the infrared light emitted by all of the objects in view.
The focused light is scanned by a phased array of infrared-detector elements. The detector elements create a very detailed temperature pattern called a thermogram. It only takes about one-thirtieth of a second for the detector array to obtain the temperature information to make the thermogram. This information is obtained from several thousand points in the field of view of the detector array.
The thermogram created by the detector elements is translated into electric impulses.
The impulses are sent to a signal-processing unit, a circuit board with a dedicated chip that translates the information from the elements into data for the display.
The signal-processing unit sends the information to the display, where it appears as various colors depending on the intensity of the infrared emission. The combination of all the impulses from all of the elements creates the image.
There are a few key Manufacturers when it comes to thermal imaging.
ATN: produce such well knows devies as ThOR-HD thermal scope, BINOX-THD thermal binoculars, and OTS-HD thermal monocular.
FLIR/Armasight: the largest maker of consumer level thermal products is well knows for their full product line. Zeus thermal scopes, Q14 and Scout monoculars, Helios and Scout binoculars and many more.
Pulsar: a very popular brand for digital night vision and thermal imaging. Key products include Pulsar Trail and Apex thermal scopes and Pulsar Helion and Quantum thermal monoculars.
Seek: mobile device mounted thermal cameras are the main products of this brand.
Delivery Time and Manufacturing Process for Armasight Predator 336 2-8x25 60HZ Thermal Riflescope:
Most of our manufacturers do not keep products like Armasight Predator 336 2-8x25 60HZ Thermal Riflescope assembled on the shelf. Night Vision tubes are kept separate from the body of the unit. When the order is placed, the manufacturer starts the order processing and assembly process which includes the following:
- Order processing - we collect all the necessary information including address and phone numbers. We also make sure that our customer ordered the correct product for their needs and that the product can be exported by US law to the country of destination. In some cases a signed export compliance form is required.
- QC - in this step the manufacturer will inspect all individual parts which will be used to assemble the night vision device for any defects.
- Production & Assembly - during production, all the parts are put together. Night Vision tubes in inserted into the body of the unit and all the complex electronics for the device are connected. This process takes place in a special lab called the "clean room" as even a small speckle of dust can cause undesired optical effect.
- QA - one the night vision device is assembled, it goes through a rigorous testing process to make sure it meets all the expected specifications and all parts function as expected. For this most manufacturers have a special "dark room" designed to allow testing of the units without causing incidental damage to the night vision tube by exposure to bright light.
- Packaging - this is a key process as well. In most case your night vision device will be shipped to you directly from the manufacturer but sometimes needs to be sent to us first. In either case items need to be packaged securely to avoid any kind of damage during transportation.
- Shipping - as described above items will most of the time ship from the manufacturer. For most domestic orders (unless shipping to POB or AFB) a premium shipper like FedEx or UPS will be used.
Only by following the above steps can we along with our manufacturers bring you - our customer - night vision products of highest quality, However as you can understand the above process can take several days to complete. For example if your device fails QA, the entire process restarts. Also at QC stage a manufacturer may realize that the tube they have in stock has a defect and a replacement tube needs to be ordered. Due to the complexity of this process, it is prudent to expect 3-4 business days for production and handling of the purchased device. Keep in mind that this process is designed to guarantee your satisfaction with the night vision device of your choice. It occasionally possible to expedite the process for urgent orders but addional fees or other restrictions may apply.

Great Thermal Optic
Excellent value, great quality, and easy to operate. Zeroed fine, looking forward to my first hunt with it.

Awesome
Incredible scope for the money. Optical clarity is fantastic. Digital zoom is OK. 2X is still fine enough to shoot with. 4X forget about it. I had to sight it in with aluminum foil on a sunny day. Hand warmer packs would work to. With night vision I can see the trees (at night). With this thermal I can see whats in the trees day or night. Haven't hunted with it yet but can clearly identify dogs at 300-400 yards. Dollar for dollar beats any night vision scope. You wont be disappointed.

Awesome
Received scope at noon. Sighted in about 2 in the afternoon then took out 3 pigs that night. Worked better than I was expecting could ID pigs at 300 yds. Then was able to stalk closer for easy shot.

Best Bargain in Thermal
WOW!!! That's is the first thing that came to mind when I started using the scope. It is built like a tank and very easy to use and understand. I was afraid it might be a bit complicated to figure out, but I read the instructions and had all the functions figured out in an hour or so. It is very intuitive and easy to use. I was amazed at the quality and image rendering. I was able to see my neighbor walking her dog about 500 yards away in the woods. I could easily tell it was someone walking their dog at that distance. The 12 color modes make it perfect in any situation and the ability to store 3 rifle zeros internally is just icing on the cake. Armasight was just bought by Flir so its nice to know the same company that makes the internal thermal unit will be warranting everything. This thing feels Mil Spec through and through. It is tough yet very compact and light weight for what it is. It is a little bit longer than my TA11 Trijicon ACOG but not by much. I have it mounted on an IWI Tavor. The combination of the compact bullpup rifle and small thermal scope make it a hunters dream. I have confidence in taking game a lot further than I thought I would. I can easily make a hit on a pig well past 300 yards with this unit. I was going to get a Gen 3 night vision unit until I ran across this amazing thermal scope. Armasight is known for their quality and customer service. I much prefer them over ATN due to the attentiveness and customer service. Buy the extended battery pack. Its a definite must have with a 60hz model.

Glad I purchased this unit
I can say these rate better than any night vision unit I have ever owned. I wish I had purchased Thermals sooner and saved the money I spent on night vision. The gentleman who helped me was nice and well informed. Thanks Nightvision Guys.

great thermal
I'm so glad Steven turned me on to the Predator 336. I assumed a thermal was out of my budget until now. This scope is great. Pigs can't hide now! Great detection and clarity. Menu is simple to use and easy to set-up. Also the field of view is more with the 25mm lens that with larger lens. Before you spend 2k on NV2 and regret it, pay a little more and get the Predator 336. Glad I did!!!
