Originally posted by Outdoor Legacy View PostSorry, I might be confused, which isn't unusual.lol I saw that you mentioned the Alpha and I thought you were speculating that it was going to be a Halo competitor and I was explaining that the the Alpha is the Rico MK1 with a new body style.
There are some other scopes in the works that will be coming soon and I've seen them and been field testing one of them but they are all 384 resolution optics, not 640's, so no N-Vision competitors there.
Again, sorry if I'm confused, let me know what you're asking and I'll do my best to answer.

I was just saying I heard they had another scope in the works besides the Alpha

I got to hunt with the 384 Iray this weekend. Looked good in the field, but like Jason mentioned the 4x is too much for me when scanning. It wouldn't be bad getting on pigs IMO, but my buddy popped it off and scanning with it when walking back to the truck was tough
Also seen his buddies Hogster, I was not impressed with it at all. Looked like his FLIR scope. No sir for me

But our other 3 scopes were a Reap IR, and 2 IRAY 384's

can an Iray be taken apart and serviced? that could be the difference ? and these chinese re-branded devices are throw away devices, so if you want to spend $2500 -$3500 on a scope that has a 3 year warranty, expect that if and when it breaks after 3 years , you'll just have to buy a new one. and that's fine , you just need to realize that's what you're getting yourself into. In that case, I think getting a device that uses generic replaceable batteries is key as it's probably the first thing that will fail assuming the rest of the stuff has good QC. to me a $2k device and up is too much $ to just be a throw away device that's sealed and non serviceable. no matter the brand ... knowing it can be serviced in the US would be a firm deciding factor, in addition from performance.
