You don't need/can't use a LAM with thermal.

I only ask because telling the difference between animals at that distance can be pretty difficult for a lot of people even with higher res units. Just trying to get an understanding of how much of your impression is the unit vs you just knowing what you are looking at.

Ah, moderately? I have a variety of other thermals and have used them in enough training exercises to know what I generally want out of a given kind of thermal (clip on, dedicated, etc.).

This is not for hunting. There are much better thermal optics for that. I'd place this squarely in the "for 2A purposes" category. "Creature ID" = that's a dude with a gun vs. a deer. You're not generally getting target ID (i.e., Joe vs. John) at extended distances anyway regardless of the thermal optic, unless you're using a dedicated long range thermal rig.

Honestly, the use case for a sight like this is kind of unique as the concept just didn't really exist until now, but I see this being ideal as part of a night operations loadout. I'd want solid NV capabilities for movement/target ID, definitely still a weapon mounted LAM, but having thermal as a means of passive aiming? That's fucking game changing as far as I'm concerned. Passive aiming is a really poor solution in general (relatively speaking), and this gives you the ability to scan as well without needing an additional thermal device for that. It's just...efficient in terms of workflow.

Great explanation.  Thank you.  I'd agree this isn't the jam for hunting, but does seem like it would go nicely on a NV rifle meant for other things.

A buddy in FL has bought and sold a few Sig thermal RDS thingies, and I goofed around with one a couple years back, and I just didn’t see the appeal.

The low resolution and small FOV make me think swinging a gun around with this on top to detect is suboptimal. And once you detect something the low resolution is going to make shoot/no shoot tough.

May as well use a legit 1x thermal scope for night time chicken defense….or not.

I’m interested to see your take on it, OP.

The FOV on the Sig was pretty bad. If Holosun has made it cover enough area to not require you to scan left and right constantly it might be far more useful.

I think it was kind of an expensive toy, it is lighter than the big AGM’s and such but I find those so nice, it is really not something I would want to downgrade from for this. Perhaps there are plenty of uses for a 3 in 1 or 2 in 1 design but really seems limited.

At one point we had a raccoon snacking on all of our ducks.  We ended up losing all 7 over the course of 2 nights.

I'd go out with my "night gun" and my thermal monocular.  I could easily spot the obvious raccoon 40 feet away in the thick underbrush under thermal.  Impossible to find with NV or flashlight.  It would move maybe 3' when I switched from thermal to flashlight.  Just enough to lose it.  The moment that I finally had it in my sights I had to take a moment to orient myself to make sure I knew what was beyond my target.  That delay let it get away.  

At that point only 2 of our ducks were dead.  It came back to kill them all, ate their faces and their asses out, then came back to snatch another.  Trapped that fucker 2 days after and executed it during the day.

But that sounds like it would be a PERFECT use case for this.  Although spending $1600 to protect some ducks is pretty dumb.

But we are set up for survival.  And nobody around us is growing food and they know it.  There is no shot longer than 50 yards on our property because of the vegetation.  Except maybe in winter.

If the initial real world reviews are decent I will be putting one on my 8.3 300. It is one of my shtf guns, the other has a lvpo and is in 5.56. The 300 has a dot now, so it will still have a dot just with added abilities.


I will still keep white/ir light on it as well as a ir lazer as it just compliments each other very well.

So is the long distance resolution shitty on these things or what? Is this like an under 50 yards sight? What are we looking at? I know zip about thermals but a $1,000 thermal sight is very appealing to me.

Ill stick with my sig echo... I can pic out rabbits running around at 200 yards and deer at 5-600.

Its not exactly  high end but the different color options really make things pop... Makes it really easy to pick out what your looking for even at 1x

My wife feeds our barn cats and apparently cat food is like crack to trash pandas... Pretty easy getting head shots at 50 yards and you can even see the thermal trace of your round going in.

Crummy potato pic, this mode makes the heart/head hot spot areas red... Pretty handy for hunting situations

Thermal is a life changing event. I will go down to a single pistol and rifle before I get rid of thermal. Once you have it you quickly realize just how vulnerable you really are at  night and the only way to defeat an adversary with thermal…is to have thermal yourself.


People call it a super power. That’s an understatement.

The problem with the SIG models, is you're still focusing on a screen a few inches from your face. With the Holosun, you're looking THROUGH the thermal image, not AT it; your visual focus is still downrange. Better for quick shooting, and easier on the eyes.

This, have played with both, and the Holosun is a much more useful optic.
Close the front cover and you can zoom the thermal image on it's own.
Open the front and you have a red dot with it t without thermal overlay.
The outline function is the least obtrusive, it's like playing Crysis...

Not really comparable; what sets the Holosun apart is the ability to use it as a day optic as well.

I think for me, the point of a GP rifle for the modern "irregular" (or whatever you want to call yourself if you take the intent of the 2A seriously and train/equip yourself accordingly) is to have something that's going to do every job kind of good-ish, as you likely won't know much about what you're about to get into if you ever have to grab it in a time of need. That's the use case I see the Holosun filling. Thus far from my very limited testing, it's probably going to be a winner.

I'm one of those weirdos that rocks a single PVS-14 over my non-dominant eye. After taking a few NV classes (and doing some night FTX's), I just found passive aiming to be impractical, and for other reasons relating to my individual gear setup I opted to go monocular + COTI on non-dominant eye.

Now if you're running dual tubes, yeah that becomes an issue if you have to shoot quickly.

I use a -14 as well. I tried to use it on my non dominant eye and I didn't adjust well to it. I also (oddly) found that I hit it on the optic on my rifle all the time. I moved the aimpoint forward and switched eyes with the nvd and found it works better for me, both shooting and walking around.  Passive aiming through the red dot was a bonus

Digital in the past has been garbage.

I’m not bagging on Holosun I own quite a few.

Says it is 50 frames per sec on the specs.  The thermal scopes I and others have are also 50 fps and they work fine on the incoming predators.  If you plan on shooting things that will be hauling ass side to side you may get some lag.


If it is anything like video games, 50 FPS is trash. You'd want 180+, and more if you're talking about life and death.

We have neutrias dropping trees on our HOA lakeside trail. I have yet to spot them with muh thermal. I am guessing that the city would be miffed if I were to shoot one anyway.

I don’t see this being useful at all given the specs and form factor/FOV, but I hope I’m wrong.  I’ll be looking forward to trying one out.
