The iRay RH25 V2 is back and better than ever, with a lighter machined magnesium alloy alloy that lightens the overall design, and with a larger eyepiece and display.
But one of the big things about the iRay RH25 V2 that makes it extremely versatile is that you can use it as a clip-on thermal optic.
If you’ve only been familiar with dedicated thermal scopes previously, here’s what that means for you.
Why Using It As a Clip-on Thermal Optic Can Be a Game Changer
Thermal scopes, which operate on different principles from conventional optics, cannot be used as typically glass scopes. They have a sensor that gathers thermal data and reconstructs it as a sensible sight picture on a display.
This means in most cases you can’t run a dedicated thermal scope and a standard glass optic on the same rail; but not with the RH25 V2.
This thermal optic can be mounted on the rail in front of your glass scope, converting it from a standard optic into a thermal scope by relaying the thermal sight picture through the objective lens.
This offers a great deal of flexibility, as it means that, if you like your current scope setup, you won’t need to change anything. In fact, if the rifle is also zeroed, you won’t even need to make any adjustments; just mount the thermal clip-on to the rail in front of it and you’re ready to go into the field.
It’s also a big deal for hunters that use one rifle for both daytime and nighttime hunting. With a clip-on thermal optic, you don’t need to be swapping scopes and visiting the range overly frequently to re-zero. Just add the clip-on before you go out at night and take it off before you go back out during daylight hours.
Other Ways You Can Use the iRay RH25 V2 Thermal Optic
While the iRay RH25 V2 is a great thermal optic because it can be used as a clip-on, that’s not all it offers.
With 7 different reticle types, 4 reticle colors and supporting 7 color palettes, the iRay RH25 V2 can be used as a dedicated thermal scope; it can also be detached and used as a thermal monocular or scanner, or used as a helmet-mounted thermal optic.
This unique thermal optic also supports multiple different mounting types as well, including standard Picatinny and MUM rail mounts.
Together, these features make the iRay RH25 one of the most versatile and utilitarian of all thermal optics on the market today, and a great option if you’re looking for one that can fill a variety of different roles.
