Full product description
The High-Grade 640 Thermal Rifle Scope for Serious Hunters
The ATRIS 650 V2 is a 640×512 thermal rifle scope built for serious hog hunters, predator hunters, and ranch defense operators who want high-resolution thermal imaging in a traditional tube design. With a sub-18mK NETD sensor and a 50mm objective lens, the ATRIS 650 delivers detailed thermal clarity for target identification at extended distances. Tank-tough, IP67-sealed, and backed by an industry-leading 5-year transferable warranty.
Cutting-Edge 640 Thermal Technology in a Traditional Scope Design
If you want high-resolution thermal performance with traditional rifle scope handling, the ATRIS 650 is built for you. The 640×512 sensor at 12-micron pixel pitch delivers detailed thermal imaging for identification at extended distances. Paired with sub-18mK NETD sensitivity, the scope produces clean thermal images in humid air, cold fronts, and low-contrast timber — the conditions where sensor quality matters most.
Sub-18mK NETD — Premium Thermal Sensitivity
NETD (Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference) is the single most important number on any thermal scope spec sheet. The ATRIS 650 pushes below 18mK, producing clean thermal images with excellent contrast between game and background. That matters most in humid Southern air, cold morning hunts, and low-contrast timber — scenarios where heat differentials between target and surroundings are subtle.
What lower NETD means in the field: clearer target outlines, faster identification, and usable imagery in conditions where sensor sensitivity is the deciding factor between a confident shot and a missed opportunity.
640×512 Resolution with 50mm Objective Lens
The 640×512 thermal sensor combined with a 50mm objective lens delivers a bright, detailed image with wide light-gathering capability. More resolution means more visible detail at range — useful for identifying species, sex, and shot placement before pulling the trigger. The 50mm objective is generous for a 3x base magnification scope, maximizing thermal signal reaching the sensor.
12-Micron Pixel Pitch + 50 Hz Refresh Rate
The 12µm pixel pitch is the current industry standard for serious thermal optics, packing more resolvable detail into the sensor footprint than legacy 17µm cores. Paired with a 50 Hz refresh rate, moving targets track smoothly for confident shots on running game. The image keeps up whether you're swinging on a running hog at 200 yards or scanning open country for coyotes at first light.
Built Like a Tank, Runs Like a Traditional Rifle Scope
The ATRIS 650 uses a streamlined control layout that mirrors traditional riflescope handling. Pick it up, mount it on a rifle, and run it without reading a manual. The chassis is engineered for real-world abuse: IP67-rated against dust ingress and water immersion. Driving rain, creek crossings, dropped-on-the-tailgate reality — it takes the hits and keeps hunting.
5 Gun Profiles and 18650 Battery Power
Save up to 5 zeroed rifle profiles for different guns, loads, or hunting scenarios — switch between your precision bolt rig and your hog AR without re-zeroing. The protected 18650 battery system delivers 7.5 hours of runtime per cell and uses widely available, field-swappable cells. No proprietary batteries. Carry spares in an inside pocket, swap in seconds, and keep hunting.
Field Application — Where the ATRIS 650 Shines
Hog Hunting on Open Terrain. Texas and Oklahoma hog hunters shooting across pastures benefit from the 640 sensor's extra resolution for identification at distance. The 50mm objective and low NETD combine to deliver clean images across open country.
Predator and Coyote Control. The 640×512 resolution supports identification of called coyotes at extended distances. 3x base magnification combined with digital zoom gives you flexibility from close shots to long-range engagements.
Humid Southern Hog Hunting. Humidity reduces thermal contrast, which is exactly where sub-18mK NETD earns its place. The ATRIS 650 is built to pull hog signatures out of humid Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida night air.
Timber and Mountain Predator Hunting. Low NETD is critical when temperature differentials are subtle — bedded game in cool timber, predators in morning fog, calm-weather scenarios where sensor quality matters most.
Ranch Defense and Night-Time Pest Control. Ranchers dealing with hog damage or coyote threats to livestock benefit from 640-class resolution for positive target identification before taking a shot near property and livestock.
The ATRIS 650 Advantage
The ATRIS 650 combines four features that matter for serious thermal hunting: high-resolution 640×512 imaging, sub-18mK NETD sensitivity, 50mm objective lens, and tank-tough IP67 construction. All packaged in a traditional tube scope design with a 5-year transferable warranty and simple, intuitive controls.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the ATRIS 650 worth it?
For hunters who want high-resolution 640 thermal imaging in a traditional tube scope design, the ATRIS 650 delivers premium sensor performance with simple operation and a 5-year transferable warranty. The sub-18mK NETD and 50mm objective combination produces clean imagery in the conditions that matter most.
What's the best thermal scope for hog hunting?
Effective hog hunting benefits from low NETD for humid conditions, adequate resolution for target identification, and rugged build quality for field abuse. The ATRIS 650 hits all three with 640×512 resolution, sub-18mK NETD, 50mm objective lens, and IP67 weatherproofing.
How far can you see with a 640 thermal scope?
Detection and identification range on a 640×512 thermal scope depends on target size, environmental conditions, and sensor sensitivity. For hog-sized and coyote-sized targets, the ATRIS 650 supports detection and identification at typical hunting engagement distances. The combination of 640 resolution and sub-18mK NETD supports positive target identification at extended hunting distances.
Should I choose a 384 or 640 thermal scope?
Both sensor classes have their place. A 640×512 scope offers higher resolution for longer-range identification and more detailed imagery, which benefits precision shooters and long-range hunters. A 384×288 scope is well-suited for typical hog and predator hunting distances at a more accessible price point. Match the sensor to your hunting style, distances, and budget.
What's the difference between the ATRIS 650 and ATRIS 650 LRF?
Both scopes use the same 640×512 sensor with sub-18mK NETD. The ATRIS 650 LRF adds a built-in Class 3R laser rangefinder (1,300 yard max) and automatic ballistic drop compensation to 600 yards. If you don't need integrated ranging and ballistic calculation, the ATRIS 650 delivers the same thermal performance in a simpler package.
Can you use a thermal scope during the day?
Yes. Thermal imaging detects heat, not visible light, so thermal scopes work equally well during the day and at night. The ATRIS 650 has no sunlight-damage risk that affects traditional image-intensifier night vision devices.
Does the 5-year warranty transfer if I sell the scope?
Yes, the ATRIS 650 warranty is fully transferable, which protects resale value and gives secondhand buyers the same coverage as original purchase.
What rifles can I mount the ATRIS 650 on?
As a tube-style thermal scope, the ATRIS 650 mounts using standard rifle scope rings. It's compatible with any rifle that accepts a traditional scope mount: AR-15 and AR-10 platforms, precision bolt-action rifles, lever guns, and dedicated hog and predator rigs. Confirm ring size against the scope's tube diameter before purchase.
