Infratech Chimera Thermal Rifle Scope

• 640x480 thermal sensor: The higher-resolution sensor gives the Infratech Chimera Thermal Rifle Scope a cleaner thermal image with better target separation, which helps when scanning cover, reading animal outlines, or confirming details before the shot.
• 2.2x optical magnification: This native magnification offers a practical balance between situational awareness and aiming precision, making the scope easier to use at typical hunting and observation distances than a narrower high-magnification thermal optic.
• 1700 m detection range: Long detection capability helps spot heat sources well before they enter shooting distance, giving the user more time to assess movement, direction, and background safely.
• OLED display with 800x600 resolution: The OLED screen presents strong contrast and clear thermal information, which makes the image easier to interpret in darkness and during prolonged observation sessions.
• 9-hour battery life on CR123 power: Extended runtime supports full evenings in the field without frequent battery changes, while common CR123 cells keep power management simple.

About the Infratech Chimera Series

The Infratech Chimera series sits within the brand’s thermal sight range as a line of dedicated thermal rifle scopes built for hunting, observation, and security use. In the wider Infratech catalogue, Chimera belongs to a family of thermal products that also includes other sight lines and clip-on systems, giving users a purpose-built option rather than a general observation device adapted for shooting. The series is designed around a dedicated thermal aiming format, combining a fixed optical base magnification with electronic image processing and an internal display for use in darkness, difficult weather, and visually cluttered terrain.

Typical Chimera models are intended for users who need thermal detection first and foremost: locating animals, identifying movement, and maintaining awareness when visible-light optics become limited. The series format emphasizes practical field durability, resistance to moisture and temperature changes, and straightforward operation under stress. In thermal rifle-scope terms, that means a combination of a sensitive uncooled sensor, a bright electronic display, and an optical system chosen to balance field of view with useful aiming scale. The result is a thermal riflescope family aimed at users who want a dedicated sighting solution for night hunting optics and round-the-clock field observation.

About the Infratech Chimera Thermal Rifle Scope

The Infratech Chimera Thermal Rifle Scope is configured as a 2.2x fixed-magnification thermal sight, which makes it especially suitable for users who want a stable, uncluttered sight picture and a wide enough view for tracking movement across open ground, woodland edges, or feeding areas. Unlike high-base-magnification thermals that narrow the image too early, this setup keeps the scope versatile at practical field distances while still providing enough image scale for deliberate shot placement. Its 68.00 mm objective with F 1.2 aperture supports strong thermal collection, helping the scope present a more useful image when contrast is weak or weather conditions are less than ideal.

At the core of the sight is a 640x480 uncooled thermal sensor with 17.00 μm pixel pitch and a 25.00 Hz refresh rate. In practice, this combination gives the Chimera enough image detail for clearer target separation while keeping motion natural enough for scanning and follow-up observation. The stated 1700.00 m detection range is valuable for early spotting, allowing the user to detect heat sources long before they are close enough for engagement. The OLED display with 800x600 resolution adds strong perceived contrast, which helps the eye read thermal shapes more comfortably during long sessions.

Field use is further supported by a 55.00 mm eye relief, a 9.00 h battery life on CR123 power, and operation from -40 to +50 ° С. Waterproof and fogproof construction matters on a thermal riflescope because it protects the optic in rain, condensation, and fast temperature changes that often accompany night hunting. Together, these features make the Chimera a practical dedicated thermal sight for users who prioritize dependable detection, simple handling, and all-weather use.

About Infratech

Infratech is a brand of Argus-NV Trading and Industrial Company LLC, a Russian developer and manufacturer of electro-optical equipment. Based in Dzerzhinsky, Moscow Oblast, Russia, the company works across night-vision and thermal systems rather than focusing on a single product type. Its range includes thermal sights, night-vision sights, monoculars, and clip-on devices for daytime optics, alongside related electro-optical equipment.

Within the thermal category, Infratech has developed several dedicated product families, including Phobos, Atlas, Chimera, and Deimos. The brand also produces supporting systems such as infrared illuminators, laser systems, rangefinding systems, and mounts for sights and clip-ons. This broader background in electro-optical design is relevant to the Chimera series because it places the riflescope within a manufacturer portfolio built around observation, aiming, and low-light field use for civilian and specialized applications, including hunting, observation, and security work.
