InfiRay Outdoor
InfiRay Outdoor is the hunting line from InfiRay, and this page covers the InfiRay thermal gear we carry: rifle scopes, handheld monoculars, a clip-on, and the rangefinder modules and chargers that go with them. The range runs from a 256x192 pocket scanner up to a 1280x1024 scope behind a 75mm lens.
Scopes and the clip-on
The BOLT series is the compact tube-style option, in 384x288 35mm (TL35 V2) and 640x512 50mm (TH50C V2), plus the TX60C with an AC80 laser rangefinder. The InfiRay RICO family is bigger. RICO G is the plain model, RICO G-LRF and the Mk2 LRF scopes add a rangefinder, RICO HYBRID pairs 50mm or 75mm glass with a free LRF, and RICO PRO gives you a variable 25/50mm lens. For the most detail on a hog at the far end of a bean field, the RICO HD runs a 1280x1024 sensor. Already happy with your day scope? The MATE 640 50mm is an InfiRay thermal clip-on that mounts in front of it.
Monoculars and spares
For scanning tree lines, the MINI MH25 and ML19 fit a chest pocket, the CABIN CBL19 and CBL25 are simple 384 handhelds, the ZOOM ZH38 switches between two fields of view, and the FINDER FH35R V2 adds a rangefinder. The RICO Micro units work as a handheld or a small scope. As a rule, a 640 sensor shows more detail at distance, while a 384 still finds heat well on closer setups. We also stock IBC-2 and IBC-5 chargers, the BOLT battery extender, and ILR-1200 and ILR-1000-2 LRF modules. The RICO 2 and RICO 3 scopes are listed under our Nocpix thermal scopes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is InfiRay a Chinese company?
Yes. InfiRay is a Chinese thermal imaging maker, and InfiRay Outdoor is the name on its hunting optics sold in the US. Warranty runs through the manufacturer, and if a unit you bought here has a problem, we help you get in touch with InfiRay and walk you through the claim.
Is it legal to own a thermal scope?
Owning a thermal scope or monocular is legal for US residents. Hunting with one is a state matter: some states limit thermal or night hunting to certain species, seasons or private land, so read your state's rules before you go out. Thermal optics can't be exported, and we only ship to US addresses.
What are the downsides of thermal imaging?
Thermal shows heat, not color or fine texture, so antlers, markings or a fence wire are harder to read than through daylight glass. It can't see through window glass, and on wet nights or after a hot day the picture loses contrast. Batteries also drain faster in the cold, which is why we carry spare InfiRay chargers and the BOLT battery extender.
Which InfiRay thermal scope is best for the money?
The one that matches your longest shot. A RICO G 384 35mm handles close work in timber and small fields, a RICO G-LRF or Mk2 LRF adds ranging for open ground, and the RICO HYBRID 640 or RICO HD 1280 earns its keep when you need detail far out. Tell us how you hunt and we'll point you to a model.
What's better, an infrared or a thermal scope?
For finding animals in full dark, thermal usually comes out ahead. A digital night vision scope paired with an infrared illuminator gives a camera-like picture that helps with identification, but it depends on that IR light. A thermal reads body heat, so a coyote shows up through light brush and thin fog with no illuminator at all.
