Calling the RICO Micro RH25 the best iRay thermal scope might be a stretch, but for the money it is definitely a good one, and given its versatility, there’s a lot more to appreciate than to disregard about it. Here are some of the top selling points.
Peak Performance in a Small Package; Smooth Viewing, and a Detailed Display
The iRay RH25 V2 has preserved the form factor of its predecessor along with the top-tier optical performance.
The heart of the RH25 V2 is a 640×480 sensor with a 12 μm pixel pitch and MATRIX III image processing. It has a NETD rating of 15mK if not better and boasts a frame rate of 60Hz, delivering a smooth, lag-free image even if the target is moving (or you are).
These specifications are welcome in a scope of this size and at this price point, making it one of the most competitive iRay thermal scopes in their entire catalog.
Improved Eyepiece
One of the elements iRay has improved in the RH25 V2 is the eyepiece, which is now larger and more comfortable to use, enabling a more enjoyable viewing experience.
Along with the eyepiece, the display has also been updated. The viewable area is 80% larger and contains 90% more pixels, for a crisper, clearer, more detailed display image and overall experience. It also supports up to 6x magnification for better heat signature detection and positive target identification.
Lightweight Design and Compact Size
Another thing you will like about the RH25 V2, especially if you are used to handheld scanners or thermal monoculars (more on that in a second) is that it has been updated with a magnesium alloy housing and is now lighter than ever before. Tipping the scales at just 11.3 ounces. That, paired with the fact that it’s smaller than 5”x3”x2” makes it a lighter, compact piece of gear that will lessen the overall weight of your loadout. On this front alone it is relatively superior to many other thermal optics, not just iRay thermal scopes.
More Than Just a Thermal Scope
Lastly, the RH25 V2 is more than just an iRay thermal scope. While it can be mounted to a rifle and run as a thermal scope (which comes with 7 reticle types, 4 reticle colors, and 7 color palettes) it can also be removed from the rifle and used as a thermal monocular (handheld scanner), and can be run as a clip-on thermal optic, further improving its versatility. It is an iRay thermal scope that can fill several roles in one convenient package.
Durability and Reliability
You would expect a piece of equipment as expensive as a thermal optic to perform well under a wide range of conditions and the RH25 V2 is no exception. It boasts an IP67 rating against moisture and dust ingress along with an operating temperature range from -4℉ to 122℉, and is recoil rated to 1000 g/s2, which is comparable to .300 Win Mag or 7mm Mag. This thermal scope is built tough and will go the distance. Want to Learn More About This iRay Thermal Scope?
