Night Vision *** NEW *** AGM Rattler TS50-640 2.5x-20x (50Hz) Long Range Thermal Scope

[FuhQ]

New video is up featuring the AGM Rattler TS50-640 Long-Range Thermal scope. This is just a video of looking around through it around the house. This scope has a 2,500 yard detection range, but it picked up the heat signature of a passenger jet from God knows how far away (as you'll see in the video below). I know it was so far the lights were barely visible to the naked eye. I'm impressed so far.

Next video will be at the range while sighting it in on my 16" @christensenarms MPR 6mm ARC.

This is an open thread, feel free to post up your Rattler and kills, and openly discuss and ask questions.

Here’s a few still images at ~400-500 (excavator), and ~700-800 (house)…

Pic from sighting it in on a cold cloudy day mid-afternoon at max magnification at 200 yards on a non-thermal target.

Images are impressive vs the TS25-256 I have.

The images are impressive for the money of these AGM units. I’m becoming a big fan, as long as they hold up to semi-hard use.

I think if I were to buy a cheaper thermal unit to keep on a “loaner rifle” to let other folks borrow to go on a hunt, I would look into the TS35-384. Midway has them for around $2,100. From the images and videos I’ve seen from those, it would be a good mixture of performance for the price. Especially if you find them on sale for under $2K.

I use the AGM Adder TS35-384 as my Backup scope.
All of my AGM products have seen hard field use and keep on trudging along.
The first week I field tested my AGM fuzion 640 mono, I dropped it onto a gravel driveway when getting out of a truck and gouged the Obj glass badly.
That was almost two years ago and albeit there's a small dead spot in the display, it amazes me that's all that's wrong with the image with so much damage to the lens.

Contact AGM, they'll probably help you out with getting the lens fixed or swapped for a new unit, if it's still under warranty.

Somebody accidentally leaked-out that AGM is going to have a couple new thermals out... But posted zero details or pictures. I did a lot of snooping around online and my google-fu turned up some interesting things that are listed as "coming soon" or "NEW" on several websites...

But apparently one is a dual-objective with a 35mm & 60mm. Not sure how that works, but I guess we'll find out once SHOT starts... It's called the Clarion CLAR35-640. I've seen prices online ranging from $5,500-$7K... But none available to purchase, and no pictures.

And they're updating the Rattler line (both scopes & clip-ons) with a V2 series. It will have a newly redesigned housing that allows use of a propriety Li-Ion battery (rechargeable) system that will last for up to 11.5 hours! It also will finally record video AND audio (long overdue). Most of the rest of the specs I found are the exact same as the V1 Rattlers...12 microns, 50hz, etc...

New video is up with the AGM Rattler TS50-640 thermal scope on the 16" Christensen Arms MPR 6mm ARC shooting @ 200 yards.

Just incase anyone is wondering, several places online have the new Rattler V2 35-640 for sale already! Can't find anyone listing the Rattler V2 50-640, Clarion 640, or the Secutor 50-640 or 75-640 units yet.

Last weekend I got a few cleaner images of a passenger jet from God knows how far away... It was closer than the last one, but still quite a few miles away for sure...

I have a ts-35-384 and for the money it is a great optic. I keep it on a .22 for around my property (150 yds and in) and it far exceeds what I thought I was getting for the money
