I just mine in last week and it’s basically the same size as a day scope. It’s probably a tad bigger. Haven’t mounted it yet but I’ve never liked the block style thermals. -

But he’ll get you on the right rig for budget/use, there’s a ton more options since the trails came out.

They’re definitely a bit large, but not overly so for most purposes. This a smaller CZ 457 Rimfire, and while a little large on this rifle it’s more at home on centerfires.Originally posted by Dale Moser View Post

I’ve got a trail xq38 and thermion XG50.. I would not recommend the thermion for scanning then attaching to your gun to shoot..Originally posted by Dale Moser View Post
To me the trails are much less cumbersome to use when scanningComment

The 2021 Thermal and Night Vision Thread
I had a Trail XQ38 (mounted) and a Core RXQ30V (used as a scanner/loaner). I sold both and hopefully I’m getting a Thermion 2 XQ38 and an AGM Rattler TS35. In the interim I bought a Wraith 2x with a Sniper Hog Light (66) and hopefully my Rattler will be in soon. I’ll have the Wraith mounted and scan with the Rattler and I think this will be a very workable solution until my Thermion comes in. Once it comes in, it will be mounted on an AR-15 and the Wraith will probably be sold.Comment

you're going to be kicking yourself for not getting a thermal monocular the day after you purchased the wraith. hahaOriginally posted by cehorn View Post
another awesome use for a thermal monocular is animal recovery. not mentioned much, but an awesome tool to have when kids (or us) make a marginal shot and you are walking through the woods at night looking for dead critters.

Buy once cry once!Originally posted by Lip View Post
I always tell people buy what you want the first time. Like used trucks, you always lose money selling used thermals and upgrading unless getting them tax free and with a discount

I was good with what I had but they were approaching 3 years old so I decided to sell and buy similar but newer optics.Comment

Looks like people on other forums are starting to take a big dump all over the new iray rico...hmmComment

If by people you mean 2-3 people who have actually owned and used them, I'll buy that and if you mean people who've never looked through them but can't wait to bash them, I'll buy that too. What I don't buy is that very many people who own one and are using it are dumping on it.Originally posted by Anon View Post
There have been a ton of Rico 640's sold in the last 3 weeks, more than any high end thermal scope ever sold in that short of a time period. The reason is simply because iRay had the inventory sitting there waiting for the launch and other manufacturers don't have those kind of quantities available on Day 1. The closest thing would the Thermion XG50 launch because Pulsar had stockpiled them waiting for the release and supplied several of us with really good quantities of them.
I sold a very large amount of XG50's and Rico 640's both in a very short time period. Trust me....there will always be people who buy a scope and aren't happy, don't like it, have a small problem or have a big problem and you'll hear about it from a lot of them. What you won't hear is how great it is from the other 98% of users. That goes for many brands. I've seen nothing from the Rico launch or usage that is any reason for concern.
The scope that was posted on the YoutTube video as possibly having the lag or delay....it's been tested by iRay and has no issue at all. I sold that scope to a very good long time customer of mine but his test was flawed and he was mistaken, which is not the end of the world, we all make mistakes. I have video proof the scope is not defective (willing to share if people would like the proof) and that exact scope is about to mounted on my rifle and I will be using it as my own personal scope. It's had no updates and no changes made to it at all and I'm 100% confident in it.
The Rico is a heck of a scope. It is not (in my humble opinion) the best scope ever made or the best image quality available but I do believe it's a very good value and has an absolutely amazing image quality and feature set for it's $6,000 price tag.
The great thing is we have more options than ever in the high end thermal category, the Thermion XG50, Rico 640, N-Vision NOX's, Halo LR, Halo-X models and all the Trijicons.
Just my 2 cents having been using all these scopes in field, including the Rico for many months.Comment
