RH25 (& Similar Thermals) & 3.6-18 MK5HD

[Paris_Bulks]

Thermal Gods...

Would an RH25 be usable in the 3.6X-6X power range of a Mk5HD 3.6X-18X with a non-illuminated PR1-Mil reticle?

Is there a better option in the $5k-$10k price range that is of a similar size & weight and will work with the MK5HD?

I have zero insight to what Nvision’s pricing will be, but they are aiming to release some dedicated clip on units this year. They will likely be closer to $10k than $5k unfortunately. Might check out the Eotech ClipIr MR if you don’t mind the weight of those units

I have a rh25 that I use in front of a Nightforce 1x8. Works very well. However at around 3 power the image starts to get pixelated pretty bad. It's still usable but not ideal.

I can try putting my rh25 in front of my mk5 when I get home tomorrow but as blackcypressrobb said, after about 3-4x on my mk6 1-6 the image becomes pretty pixelated. Between 5-6x its basically unusable though so it wouldn't be any better with the mk5.

Thank you. I would appreciate your insight.

A few shots through the C35 and RH25 with a 1-10 to show how it zooms in on the pixels of each:

Thank you. What is your thoughts on the Steiner C35 paired with the MK5HD 3.6-18 using the lower end of its mag?

I think it’s probably not a great fit. I’d stick with something with 1 or 2x on the low end.

Stick with LPVO with RH25.
If you want some magnification get a beautiful Iray Bolt TH50v2 with 3.5x native magnification.
