Thread: Has anyone own senopex thermal scope

These are a special purpose scope. Big and bulky. High base optical mag (7x from memory) which is what pushs it to special purpose, small targets at longer ranges i.e Rabbits ect to 250yrds plus Fox/wallaby to 300yrds plus. The reports from the UK talk about them being the absolute winner in image clarity/quality and only from a 300 range sensor (75mm objective lens) at that.
A higher base mag 600+ sensor scope that is available in the UK with a 50mm lens and 5x base mag gets close in performance and is far more compact but would owe you approx $11,000 here and still no built in range finder with it either.
The market providers are all thinking "big game/hog hunting" with time their may be more options hopefully to suit smaller game at long ranges. (Fox hunters/ Coyote hunters/ Pest control contractors world wide must add up to reasonable size market.
I agree that not having a built in range finder is a problem in a Long range scope.
Having said that running something like the RL350 conotech on your .22 and having a Senopex A7 on the .223 would make a great combo for a contractor that is carrying both, most longer range targets could be ranged with the RL350 first. My longest hit so far has been a hare at 357yrds using a Infiray RL42 on 8x (digital mag) in perfect thermal conditions and was really pushing it image quality wise, not a every night possibility normaly limited to approx 220yrds We need something like a RL650 with a higher (at least 5x) please.
