Full product description
The Flagship Dual-Lens 640 Thermal Rifle Scope Two Scopes in One
The Wave Tempest 660D LRF is the flagship of the Wave Infrared Tempest series a revolutionary dual-lens 640—512 thermal rifle scope that functions like two scopes in one. Switch between a 20mm lens for an enormous close-range field of view and a 60mm lens for sharp 3.4x long-range magnification with integrated laser rangefinder and auto ballistics. Mil-spec aluminum, IP67-sealed, 13+ hour battery life, and backed by a 5-year transferable warranty.
Dual-Lens System 20mm for Situational Awareness, 60mm for Long-Range Precision
The Tempest 660D's breakthrough dual-lens system transforms your night hunting experience:
20mm Lens Close-Range Awareness. Set the objective to 20mm for an enormous field of view built for close-in work and running shots. Nothing escapes your detection. Tempest 660D owners regularly report spending 90% of their hunting time on the 20mm lens.
60mm Lens Long-Range Precision. Switch to the 60mm lens for crisp 3.4x optical magnification paired with the integrated laser rangefinder and auto ballistics.
One scope. Two lenses. Every hunting scenario covered.
G6 Sixth-Generation 640 Thermal Sensor Sub-18mK NETD
At the heart of the Tempest 660D is Wave's G6 12-micron 640—512 thermal sensor with sub-18mK NETD sensitivity. NETD (Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference) is the single most important number on any thermal scope spec sheet. Sub-18mK produces clean thermal images with excellent contrast critical in humid Southern air, cold morning hunts, and low-contrast timber where heat differentials are subtle.
Ultra-Pure Germanium Objective Lenses
Both the 20mm and 60mm objectives use premium UPG (Ultra-Pure Germanium) glass for maximum thermal energy transfer and 100% sensor capacity utilization. UPG passes thermal radiation more efficiently than lower-grade germanium for a brighter, cleaner image at any magnification.
3.4x Optical with 13.6x Digital Zoom
On the 60mm lens, the Tempest 660D delivers 3.4x base optical magnification with digital zoom extending to 13.6x in Rapid and Smooth modes. On the 20mm lens, field of view extends to 1,170 ft at 1,000 yards for maximum situational coverage.
Dual-Mode Integrated Laser Rangefinder
The built-in Class 3R laser rangefinder operates in two modes. Scan Mode runs continuously and updates distance readings multiple times per second ideal for moving targets or scanning terrain. Ballistic Mode sends a single laser pulse to the onboard ballistic calculator for an automatic real-time firing solution. Range, solve, shoot.
Automatic Ballistic Compensation
Load your rifle's ballistic data into the scope, range your target with the LRF, and the Tempest 660D calculates bullet drop automatically. The reticle shows the correct aim point for the ranged distance. No holdover math, no dialing turrets.
Military-Style Joystick Control + Large Top Focus Knob
The Tempest 660D uses an ambidextrous military-style joystick that consolidates scope functions into a single intuitive control. Combined with a large top-mounted focus knob designed for heavy-glove use, the scope delivers fast, precise adjustment in any field condition.
HD AMOLED Display with Industry-Leading Reticle Management
The 1024—768 HD AMOLED display delivers crisp, high-contrast imagery with extensive customization: 6 color palettes (White, Black, Red, Green, Golden, Violet), 9 reticle options including a no-reticle mode, 5 reticle colors, illuminated center dot with 3 color options, reticle polarity reversal, and user-selectable first or second focal plane. Picture-in-Picture, Hot Tracking, and Outline Mode round out the image control.
Rugged Mil-Spec Aluminum Housing IP67 Sealed
Ruggedized mil-spec aluminum delivers maximum durability and efficient heat dissipation to keep the sensor running cool. IP67-rated against dust ingress and water immersion ready for driving rain, creek crossings, and real-world hunting conditions.
13+ Hour Battery Life Four Batteries and Charging Cradle Included
The Tempest 660D runs on two protected 18650 Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries, delivering 13+ hours per charge. Wave includes four 18650 batteries and a high-quality charging cradle in the box no accessories to buy separately. Field-swappable cells mean multi-night hunts without power worries.
Gun Profile Nicknaming + Easy One-Screen Zeroing
Save multiple gun profiles with custom names and stored zero distances for easy recall. The one-screen zeroing process with freeze function makes zeroing a new rifle fast and straightforward.
Free Wave IR Phone App + Onboard Media Management
The free Wave IR app (Android and iOS) pairs with the scope for live streaming, image and video management, ballistic data uploads, and firmware updates. Onboard media file management lets you view and manage captured files directly from the device.
Premium QD Scope Mount Included
Ships with a premium quick-disconnect mount featuring perfect return-to-zero and adjustable fit for rail variations.
Field Application
Close-Range Hog Hunting and Running Shots. The 20mm lens delivers a huge field of view for tracking moving hogs in dense cover and making fast shots on running game.
Long-Range Precision Shooting. Switch to the 60mm lens for open-country coyote control and confirmed shots beyond conversational distances with integrated ranging and auto ballistics.
Mixed Hunting Scenarios. Ranchers dealing with both close-quarters pest control and long-range predator threats benefit most from the dual-lens system.
Humid Southern Hog Hunting. Sub-18mK NETD is critical where humidity reduces thermal contrast Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida night air.
