X-Vision Optics Thermal: Long-Range Impact
The ability to hunt at night broadens your options exponentially. Although not all animals can be hunted at night, many predators and non-game animals can be, such as feral hogs and bobcats. If you don’t have thermal, hunting them is a lot harder. If you have thermal on hand, your success will be far greater. Of course, not all animals come close. For example, coyotes are notorious for getting hung up at a distance. X-Vision Optics is here to help with the long-range friendly Impact TS300, a thermal scope specifically made for those longer shots.
According to X-Vision optics, the TS300 has a 640 x 480 thermal sensor capable of detecting large animals at distances past 3,000 yards, which is truly impressive.

The scope’s objective lens is 35mm in diameter and, according to the manufacturer, it has a field of view of 70 feet at 100 yards. Magnification for the TS300 is listed as 2 to 16x.

The TS300 ships with free applications for IOS and Android devices so pictures and videos can be saved either on a connected device or utilizing the scope’s internal memory of 16 GB.
Other features of this scope include optional hotspot tracking, a capability that utilizes a crosshair to pinpoint and then follow whatever the hottest object is in its field of view. which uses a small crosshair to pinpoint and follow the hottest object in its field of view. This makes it much simpler to track a far-off, moving object. In addition, the scope has a stadiametric rangefinder so you can figure out just how far away a target really is in real-time. A picture-in-picture feature also allows the user to see the scope’s max magnification in a subset of the main screen.
