Armasight Unveils Cutting-Edige Thermal Imaging Lineup at SHOT Show 2025

After an exciting deep dive at Shot Show 2025, we got our hands on Armasight's groundbreaking new thermal lineup, and what we discovered left us thoroughly impressed. Stay tuned for our comprehensive video prereviews below, where we take you through our hands-on experience with each of these innovative products and show you exactly why they caught our attention on the show floor.

The thermal imaging landscape has evolved dramatically in recent years, with the market becoming increasingly competitive. However, Armasight continues to distinguish itself by delivering premium thermal solutions that strike an impressive balance between performance and value. During our time at Shot Show 2025, we had the opportunity to thoroughly test their latest innovations, each one pushing the boundaries of what's possible in thermal technology.

Leading the charge is the Commander 640 Thermal Weapon Sight, a compact powerhouse that immediately caught our attention. Built on Armasight's Iron Wolf platform and featuring their proprietary ArmaCORE™ 640x480 12-micron thermal sensor, this optic delivered remarkably crisp imagery during our testing. The 35mm germanium lens proved its worth on the show floor, demonstrating exceptional clarity that promises a detection range up to 1,300 meters in challenging conditions like darkness, fog, or adverse weather.

Despite its robust construction and impressive .50 BMG rating, we were struck by how manageable the Commander 640 felt in hand. Weighing just 1.39 pounds and measuring 9.48 × 3.61 × 3.32 inches, it's noticeably more compact than previous offerings while retaining all the functionality hunters demand. Powered by two CR123 batteries and priced at $4,299, this versatile optic is scheduled to hit the market this spring.

The Operator 640 Thermal Clip-On particularly impressed us with its innovative approach to thermal imaging. This clever device transforms any 1-6X traditional daytime scope into a thermal optic within seconds. During our demonstration, we witnessed firsthand how seamlessly it integrated with existing setups – no re-zeroing required. The quick-detach mount worked flawlessly, and the three-button control system proved remarkably intuitive. Steve Lemenov, Senior Director of Marketing at Armasight, walked us through the multiple color palettes and image enhancement features, demonstrating how users can tailor the experience to their specific needs. The Operator 640 is available for pre-order at $4,299.

Completing the trio is the Warden 640, a handheld thermal scanner that immediately impressed us with its practical versatility. Sharing the same premium ArmaCORE™ sensor and 35mm germanium lens as its siblings, this 22.4-ounce device felt perfectly balanced during our testing. We particularly appreciated its USB-C connectivity and comprehensive feature set, which includes video capture capabilities and multiple viewing modes. The Warden 640 will be available in April with an MSRP of $3,799.

Introducing the Armasight by Rayvn Group Modular Bridge Mount, Rail System + 2 Pods

When RAYVN Group set out to revolutionize mounting solutions for night vision and thermal devices, they didn't just create another bridge mount - they engineered a complete paradigm shift in operational flexibility. Their new Armasight Modular Bridge Mount system represents a breakthrough in how operators can configure and deploy their essential night vision equipment.

At the heart of this innovation lies an all-aluminum rail system that defies conventional mounting limitations. The system's pod-on-rail architecture enables smooth, tool-free adjustments that can be executed in seconds. Each pod glides effortlessly along the rail, locking securely into position exactly where you need it. This means no more compromising on positioning or wrestling with tools in critical moments.

What truly sets this system apart is its scalable design philosophy. Starting with a single pod configuration for your PVS-14, MNVD, or Sidekick, the platform can evolve alongside your capabilities. As your requirements grow, the system readily accommodates additional devices - whether you're adding a thermal optic or transitioning to a dual night vision setup. This adaptability eliminates the need for multiple specialized mounts, offering significant long-term value.

The system's sophisticated articulation capabilities redefine user comfort and operational efficiency. Inter-Pupillary Distance adjustments become seamless, allowing instant transitions between left and right eye dominance without tools or reconfiguration. The pods feature full lateral and vertical articulation, enabling operators to quickly swing devices clear of their field of view when needed. This level of flexibility ensures that your equipment enhances rather than hinders your mission effectiveness.

By reimagining how operators interact with their night vision and thermal devices, RAYVN Group has created more than just a mounting solution - they've developed a platform that adapts to your evolving tactical requirements while maintaining peak operational efficiency.

Winchester Supreme Optics Steps into the Thermal Arena with Game-Changing Hunting Sights

At the core of these new thermal sights lies a sophisticated 12μm pixel sensor, delivering exceptional heat detection capabilities through a crisp SXGA 1280×1024 display. The advanced sensor architecture not only provides outstanding image clarity but also optimizes power consumption, ensuring extended field operations. With a robust 50Hz refresh rate, these optics deliver seamless target tracking and fluid image movement that serious hunters demand.

Winchester has clearly prioritized real-world functionality in the design process. The optics feature built-in recording capabilities for capturing crucial moments in the field, while multiple color palettes and customizable reticle options allow hunters to optimize their view for varying conditions and hunting scenarios. The IP67 waterproof rating demonstrates Winchester's understanding of the harsh environments these optics will face, ensuring reliability whether facing driving rain, dense fog, or complete darkness.

True to Winchester's heritage of building equipment for serious sportsmen, these thermal sights strike an impressive balance between durability and practical weight considerations. The result is a thermal hunting system that's both rugged enough for demanding field use and comfortable enough for extended stalks or long sits in the stand.

Our time with these new offerings at Shot Show 2025 left us eager to put them through their paces in real-world conditions. While show floor testing can only reveal so much, the build quality, feature sets, and innovative approaches demonstrated by all three devices suggest Armasight has once again raised the bar in thermal imaging technology.
