Is this the thermal revolution airgunners and rimfire shooters have been waiting for?

In this video, Ed Jackson takes a deep dive into the brand-new HIKMICRO NEOS thermal riflescope. Dubbed the ‘Alpex 4K Lite Revolution’, the NEOS brings high-end thermal tech into a lightweight, budget-friendly and familiar 30mm tube design.

We break down the entire line-up, including the NE25 and NH25L, test the impressive sub-18mK thermal sensitivity, put the innovative shutterless image system to the test and take it out in the field on a Daystate Delta Wolf for some real-world pest control.

Is the flagship HIKMICRO NEOS NH35L thermal riflescope the right choice for you, or should pure airgun shooters save some cash and look at the NH25L instead? Let’s find out!
