HIKMICRO NEOS NH25L Thermal Rifle Scope with Integrated Laser Rangefinder
The HIKMICRO NEOS NH25L Thermal Rifle Scope is a step up in the NEOS lineup, combining a high-resolution 320 × 240 thermal sensor with a built-in laser rangefinder (LRF) rated to 1,000m at ±1m accuracy — giving Australian hunters a serious all-in-one thermal optic for night hunting, pest control, and target shooting.
Powered by a fast 50Hz frame rate and an industry-leading NETD of less than 18mK, the NH25L produces smooth, detailed thermal imagery even in challenging conditions — cold mornings, dense scrub, or humid coastal environments. Paired with a 25mm F1.0 objective lens, it achieves a detection range of up to 1,800 metres, making it one of the most capable thermal scopes in its price class.
Magnification, Display & Optics
The NH25L offers 3.5x to 24.5x magnification with a 7.0° × 5.3° field of view and a 3m minimum focusing distance — versatile enough for wide-area scanning and close-range identification. The 0.49-inch AMOLED display delivers vivid, high-contrast imagery, while 8mm exit pupil and 55mm eye relief keep the viewing experience comfortable during extended sessions.
HIKMICRO's proprietary Zoom Pro, HSIS (High Sensitivity Image Sensor), and Image Pro 3.0 technologies work together to enhance image sharpness, reduce noise, and improve target contrast — particularly useful when picking out heat signatures against warm ground or vegetation.
Integrated Laser Rangefinder
The standout feature of the NH25L over the base NE25 is its integrated laser rangefinder. Rated to 1,000m with ±1m accuracy, the LRF gives you real-time distance data without needing a separate handheld unit. For hunters engaging targets at varying distances across open paddocks or hilly terrain, this is a genuine field advantage.
Battery Life & Build
The NH25L is built for long nights. With up to 9 hours of continuous operation at 25°C, you have the runtime to cover serious ground. Its compact 345.6mm × 86.1mm × 75.8mm body and 550g weight (with battery) keep it manageable on the rifle without adding unnecessary bulk.
