Guide Nova N435 400X300 Thermal Rifle Scope 35MM 3.3X
SKU:
Description
The Guide Nova N435 is a compact, budget-friendly 400 thermal rifle scope, a light setup for hunters getting into thermal.
It runs a 400x300 12-micron sensor and 35mm lens at 3.3x base magnification with a 1024x768 display, 20mK NETD. The Nova line is Guide's compact value series (no built-in rangefinder; pairs with the Guide S1200 rangefinder if you want ranging).
Thermal reads heat, not light, so your Guide works in broad daylight as well as full dark. The payoff hunters miss: by day it picks hogs and deer out of thick brush, shade, and standing crops where a day scope sees nothing, their body heat gives them away.
Built for night predator and hog work: feral hogs and pigs, coyotes (yotes), bobcat, fox, and raccoon (coon), plus general predator and varmint control on the ranch. Mounts on an AR-15, bolt gun, or your hog rig.
Which Guide is right for you?
The Nova N435 is Guide's compact budget scope, the 35mm lens gives a wider field than the TU425's 25mm at a similar entry price. Step up to the TU435 LRF 3.0 for a built-in rangefinder, or to the 640x512 TU635 and TU650 for more image detail and range. The Nova N635 is the 640-sensor version of this compact line.

Common Questions
Does a thermal scope work in the daytime?
Yes. Thermal detects heat, not light, so it works day or night. In daylight it's deadly for finding game bedded in thick cover or shade.
Is it legal to hunt with a thermal scope?
Thermal is legal for hogs and most non-game predators in many states, but night-hunting rules vary by state and species. Check your state regulations before you hunt.
Will it hold zero on my AR or magnum?
Yes, it's rated for hard-recoiling rifles and holds zero. We can walk you through the one-time zero before you head out.
Guide vs Pulsar or ATN, how do they stack up?
Guide builds the same 12-micron sensors found in scopes costing far more, which is why hunters pick them for the value. Call us and we'll compare honestly against what you're considering.
