Thread: SYTONG Thermal scope

Does anyone have any experience with a Thermal scope.

I am thinking of getting this on a good deal here in NZ - Sytong LM02-25 Thermal Rifle Scope. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks

https://nightvision.co.nz/product/sy...l-rifle-scope/

Ive got a Sytong spotter and a thermal scope (SYTONG XM03-50LRF).

You get what you pay for - my 'scope is $4K - but I cant imagine the one you are looking at being any less than how it is advertised.
Note though that there does seem to be a direct co-relation between the price of thermals and sensor/image quality.

I would expect the one you are looking at would be ideal for bunnies and 'possums and a good starter proposition for the odd deer.

Im wrapped in their products and the service is exceptional.

Note that it would have been only 6 or so years ago that if you had bought that one you are looking at for $5000.00 odd for all round hunting including serious deer culling you would have thought you had died and gone to heaven.

I’ve got a Sytong spotter xs something 35 LRF. It’s superb.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

I bit the bullet and paid up today.

Can you please post a photo of the rail mount i need for it. My rifle is a Tikka T3x Superlight in 223 Rem.

hey man let me know how it goes,
i am considering getting one aswell, local shop owner says they are best value for money,
obviously the 8-10k scopes are better but for the 4-5k range he says they are pretty good. unfortunately you cannot go hunting to test one out before you buy.

let m eknow how the clarity is when spotting animals

Sample vids from the Sytong LM02-25 here: https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....-scope-109926/

I bought the 0MOA rails GWA from Reloaders.

I hope the scope and rail arrive tomorrow.

Two to 3 years later,the 10k scopes will only be 5 to 6k scopes.

Me like some feedback too, be much appreciated

I've got the picatinny rail. I will mount the scope this weekend and hope to shoot the rifle. I am also awaiting a new set of rings so I can swap the Burris & Thermal any time I want.

The manual is not very good for operating instructions.

* There is no explanation of how to zero the scope.
* There are submenus that have features for the various zero profiles that can be saved for different loads / calibers / distances but no explanation (figured this by comparing with other brands on YouTube)
* There are submenus for freezing the picture and moving the reticle (single shot zero) but no explanation

I spent about an hour plodding through the unit and figuring out by trial and error. Not difficult but annoying.

I saw a video that clearly shows how to zero another brand of thermal scope. He suggests that we will need 2 hours for the setup of zeroing the scope to the rifle.

I now realise that if I put a Picatinny rail on the other rifles, I can move the scope around and use the 20 or so zero profiles saved in the scope. Not sure if I can edit the title so I can have caliber and bullet weight in the profile
