NIGHT VISION TEST HIGH-PERFORMANCE HEAT-SEEKER
Technological advancements in night vision optics have far exceeded anything that most shooters could have imagined just a few years ago.
The InfiRay Rico RL42 thermal riflescope is at the top of the tree when it comes to the evolution of after-dark optics, and I have been having a great time putting it through its paces over the past few weeks.
Before we go any further though, I will point out that the Rico is not cheap and retails around £2,999.99.
Three grand is a serious amount of money to fork out for a thermal optic to plonk on top of an airgun but remember that this is one of the best out there.
Shooters who do enough after-dark pest control to justify such an outlay and can stretch to that kind of money will be investing in something really special.
For the rest of us, I think it’s very interesting to see just what this sort of high-end gear is capable of, even if we ultimately have to settle for something more modest.
