Thermal Riflescopes for Hog, Coyote & Predator Hunting

Thermal riflescopes give you a massive edge after dark. Whether you’re scanning for hogs in thick brush, calling coyotes across open pasture, or protecting livestock from predators, a quality thermal riflescope lets you see heat signatures through darkness, fog, humidity, and heavy cover so you can make confident shots when it matters.

At Thermal Bros, every thermal riflescope we offer is field-tested by real night hunters to verify precision, durability, and true-to-spec clarity. We only stock proven optics from Pulsar, AGM, RIX Optics, Nocpix, Trijicon, and iRay USA — including long-range 640-resolution scopes, models with built-in laser rangefinders (LRF), and rugged units rated for hard-recoiling calibers.

Best Uses for Thermal Riflescopes

  • Hog hunting (sounders & single boars)
  • Coyote, fox & general predator control
  • Nighttime ranch, livestock & property protection
  • Long-range thermal shooting across open fields and pasture

How to Choose the Right Thermal Riflescope

  • Sensor Resolution (256 / 384 / 640): 384 is the sweet spot for most hunters, balancing performance and price. 640 is ideal for open country, long-range ID, and humid conditions where extra detail matters.
  • Lens Size (25mm, 35mm, 50mm+): 25–35 mm lenses give a wider field of view for close-range hogs and thick cover; larger lenses extend detection and ID distance for predator and long-range work.
  • NETD Sensitivity: Lower NETD values (for example ≤25 mK) mean better contrast and cleaner images on hot, humid nights when cheaper thermals wash out.
  • Refresh Rate (25 Hz vs 50 Hz): 50 Hz feels smoother when panning or tracking running hogs and coyotes; 25 Hz is fine for slower, methodical shooting.
  • Battery System: Decide between internal packs and replaceable batteries you can hot-swap for all-night hunts.
  • Built-In LRF (Laser Rangefinder): Strongly recommended if you shoot past ~150 yards or in mixed terrain with unknown ranges.
  • Recoil Rating & Mounting: Make sure the thermal riflescope and mount are rated for your caliber (e.g. .308 / 7.62 NATO, 6.5 Creedmoor, etc.) and hold zero after travel and hard use.

FAQ: Thermal Riflescopes

Q: What’s the best thermal riflescope for hog hunting?
A: Most hog hunters prefer wide-FOV 25–35 mm optics for fast target acquisition in close to mid-range scenarios. Popular choices include Pulsar Thermion models, AGM Rattler V3, and iRay riflescopes.

Q: Should I go with 384 or 640 resolution?
A: A good 384-resolution thermal riflescope is more than enough for most night hunters. If you hunt wide-open ground, need the longest possible ID range, or want the cleanest image in humidity, 640 is worth the upgrade.

Q: Do I really need a riflescope with LRF?
A: If you routinely shoot past 150 yards or don’t know your exact distances, a built-in LRF is a huge advantage. It gives precise range readings for better holdovers and cleaner shots on small predators.

Q: Can thermal riflescopes handle heavy recoil?
A: Yes. Major brands like Pulsar, AGM, iRay, RIX, and Nocpix build scopes rated for common hunting calibers. Always check individual product specs if you’re running magnums or big-bore setups.
