New night vision and thermal have eye-opening prices

After a year and a half of work, Night Optics has unveiled new products in thermal riflescope, flip-up sights, IR illuminators and image intensifier tubes that are marketed as more-affordable options in night vision and thermal. Each product is available to see at 2018 SHOT Show, but Grand View Outdoors got an exclusive early peek.

SVTS Thermal Riflescope

Night Optics SVTS is available in three models and offers continuous calibration, which allows users to quickly identify targets without having the screen freeze at critical moments.

The entry-level SVTS-80 features Fusion technology that provides enhanced night vision for identification with the added value of a thermal overlay for quick detection of targets at various ranges.

The SVTS-320 and 640 models offer the same features, but Night Optics has added Heat Tracker. This design features the next heat signature with an arrow pointing to the target outside of the visible screen. A quick select menu, waterproof construction and multiple reticle choices ensure fast target acquisition and accuracy in all weather conditions.

“The SVTS line offers category leading technology at unprecedented prices,” Night Optics product manager Ben Bainter said in a press release. “Hunters and shooters can now access thermal riflescope technology at an MSRP of only $1,199 with our SVTS-80 Fusion model.”

The SVTS-80 Fusion has Core Resolution of 80x60 along with a 54-degree field of view night-vision camera. The mid-range SVTS-320 has a Core Resolution of 320x240 and a display resolution of 640x480. The Long Range SVTS-640 has a core resolution of 640x480

All models include other features, including recoil-activated recording that automatically saves 10 seconds before and 10 seconds after a shot is fired along with Snap Back shot-sensing technology that allows the scope to automatically zoom out to reacquire targets quicker than ever before.

MSRP for the fusion and mid-range riflescope is $1,999. The long-range is $3,499.
