Rifle Scopes Which Are The Best Thermal Riflescopes (USA) 2025?

[Night Vision Viking]

I'm looking at a "top 10 list" for The Best Thermal Riflescopes (USA market), as of now 2025?

As in "the best", not the cheapest or "best for the budget", and looking for uncooled thermals made for civilians and for hunting.
Price will have a factor, but the sensible ones I've found are all well below $10k, so that might be some sort of limit for a lot of reasons.

I have searched and Googled, used AI, and my own experience. It seems that search engines and AI don't keep up, they keep on recommending stuff that's over 5 years old, with a battery life of 2-4 hours. Even Trijicon's top model only runs a 640x sensor with a high NETD (as in bad), while the Europeans and Chinese run 1024x / 1280x and really low-NETDs for a lot less, including LRFs with ballistics.
Is the US market blinded, or is it me? Are ATNs even worth being on the list? AGM?

So, please hit me up with your suggestions.

These should probably be on the list:

Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XL60 (plus XP60 and XG60)
Nocpix ACE S60R (and H50R)
Trijicon REAP-IR

Which other models and manufacturers are missing?

For the money the mk2 can’t be beat. If we’re talking about overall, from what I’ve seen and used, I’m still putting it in top 5. The 75mm version with 1289 resolution should be hitting shelves someday soon. I really believe those will be very hard to beat.

At $9,784.00, and a 640x sensor, I'm pretty sure it can be beaten. I've never seen it, but talking YouTube videos into account I get the idea. Talking about overall, does it have LRF and ballistics software?

Did you ever look into the T2 XL60 or the ACE S60R?

Not sure which one you’re referring to at $9784… I’ve looked through the s60r yessir. It’s fine but not nearly the improvement I’d expect I guess. The 640 mk2 is $5500ish.
