theOpticGuru Thor LT Thermal Scope w/10+hrs Battery & Ultra-Low Power Consumption

I am writing this long review, because I read all the reviews before I purchased these two scopes positive and negative. I was so excited to try this affordable thermal scope after reading the reviews. We have 180 acres infested with pigs tearing up the property. Have tried to hunt them for the past year unsuccessfully. I ordered two of these scopes to try out against my husband who was a Marine's advice. He had no confidence in anything at that price. I got them on Thursday followed the directions charged both for 6 hours, one charger didn't stay on the port. Have requested a replacement, minor hiccup since I bought two. If I had only one I would not be as forgiving. I was so excited to get them. The first night we just used one to look around and didn't really get the feel for the two focus abilities. Grainy and difficult to make anything out, which confirmed one review I read and my husband was sure he was right. I reiterated the positive reviews I had read and pushed to sit down and really get to the know the scope better before sending them back. The next day we really read and followed the directions and worked to move the two adjustable focuses. They were a little stiff to start with and very sensitive. You adjust too quickly and you will miss the perfect view. Charged both and sited them in on the coldest wettest day with a water bottle filled with hot water from about 120 yards using my small inexpensive 223 savage rifle. I kept the other one just to use and see how they worked. Took about six shots to really site in well. The heated water bottle maintained thermal view for about an hour and it was cold. That evening before dark we drove around and sited in different animals to see if we could clearly see the difference and get used to adjusting the scopes. One review said you couldn't tell what the animal was. Not the case at all for us. We could easily make out cows, horses, deer, birds. Our first evening we went scouting, amazing from across the 55 acre lake into the pecan orchard about 400 yards away could see them clearly pigs. Gave us the opportunity to move ahead of them, get into position and let them come to us and 40 pigs headed our way. Easy to see them, easy to shoot them. One kill 150 yards away. They all scattered because of the noise. Last night was our second night. We mounted the second scope, definitely keeping them. Killed four more pigs. Great buy, now we need a silencer to really make a dent. We killed 7 in two days.Hope this review helps someone else with making a decisions to buy this very affordable and excellent scope. I want one for every gun we have and so does my husband!

This is my first thermal scope purchase and I couldn't be happier with the scope quality and price. It definitely beats my old night vision scope. I highly recommend the Thor LT Thermal Rifle Scope. I zeroed it in yesterday on my .17 WSM and I'm hitting three rounds within a dime size at 50 yards. I don't plan on shooting anything much farther than 50 yards, Here in Georgia the woods are thick and that's where I hunt coyotes. When sighting it in I initially used a hand warmer, but that didn't last long as shown in pic. I then used a hot .17 expended round taped to the target which worked out great. The menu items are easy to navigate and save. The battery life is hands-down 10+ hours.I also recommend purchasing the scope rings, ATN Quick Detach Mount for 30mm Scope Tube, Black. It makes it easy to quickly move the scope from one weapon to another, don't forget to write down your zeroing coordinates for each weapon. You can't save the zero for multiple weapons, but you can quickly move the zero to the correct X and Y coordinates which is a nice feature.

Can’t believe how great this scope is for night hunting the wild pigs on the ranch I take care of. Super easy to use and the battery lasts for hours of nonstop use. Easy to sight in with one shot zero. I took about six shots total to get it dead nuts on and make sure it stayed. It’s not let me down yet. I Would buy another in a second. Costumer service has been amazing. I lost the USB cover and they are sending me another!

The distance detection is only identification on if it’s a quadruped or biped at advertised distance. Species recognition at maybe 150 yards. Identify breed specifics at 20 yards. Goats at 50 yards could be shorn sheep.The only other thermal optics I’ve used were military grade. So a person without that experience should be happy. Especially if you are defending large property for hogs or coyotes on a Friday night.

Excellent thermal scope 0-150 yards. It does not come with a scope mount, which is good because you don’t want to pay for an ATN scope mount. I am using a GG&G quick detach and it works great. For a one-piece mount you need about 3.75 inches between the rings so this limits you to the higher end mounts such as Bobro and GG&G.

This is a nice thermal scope for the $. I'm not liking the either 4x or 8x magnification settings with nothing in between. That wasn't clearly spelled out in the product description. That's the only reason I give it 4 stars. Overall it's good. Need to hunt with it now. Love the long battery life. The simplicity of operation is nice compared to the higher end Thor 4 scope I have. My 80 year old father is going to love it.

Very nice digital thermal scope for the money. Able to pick up thermal movement of hogs at 300 to 400 yards, easy recognition of hogs at around 150 yards.

Simple to use. No Frills. Exactly what I wanted. Adjust from 3 power 2 6 power with push of a button. Long battery life is a plus!
