The Trijicon REAP-IR® mini thermal riflescope is a small, light, powerful thermal riflescope that lets you engage targets in any light. It’s trusted by the most demanding shooters and hunters who require speed and accuracy for night‑time use. Choose from multiple magnification levels and field of view to fit your specific needs. The REAP-IR optimizes the S.W.A.P. mindset (Size, Weight and Power) with its small packaging combined with lightweight, rugged features. When you need a thermal weapon sight that lets you move from rifle to rifle with ease, look no further than the REAP‑IR.

The REAP-IR has a sensor resolution of 640×480 pixels, which is currently leading edge for thermal scopes. It has a sensor pitch of 12 microns versus most thermal scopes on the market today that have a 17 micron pitch. Translation: The REAP-IR’s 12 microns delivers sharper images than the 17 micron models. The scope also has a frame rate of 60 Hz, meaning the thermal core refreshes the image you see 60 times a second.

The REAP-IR comes with a polarity mode that lets you switch between three levels of white hot and three levels of black hot to find the best mode for the ambient temperature and other environmental conditions. It also has five different reticles to choose from. The REAP-IR has a base optical magnification of 2.5X and can digitally zoom up to 8X.

High-tech terminology aside, what it comes down to is this: using the REAP-IR scope, you can spot a human-size target at 1,200 yards and recognize that target as a human at 450 yards. During my time testing in South Texas, I hit stationary targets out to 150 yards with the REAP-IR; I also hit moving ones at 80 yards and about 150 yards.

At farther ranges, objects appear as white-hot or black-hot blobs. As you get closer, more details come into play. Once I got used to the imagery, I began to understand the shapes and what they represented. At 800 yards, for example, similarly sized targets are both indistinct clumps of white.

For a law enforcement officer or security professional, that could translate into detecting objects at distance; then, closing the gap and being able to determine that the object is a warm engine block, a dog—or a fleeing suspect.
