Guide TU425SE 400X300 Thermal Rifle Scope 25MM 3X
SKU:
Description
The Guide TU425 SE is the most affordable way onto a thermal rifle scope, a compact entry rig for new night hunters.
It runs a 400x300 12-micron sensor and 25mm lens at 3x base magnification with a 1920x1080 display, 20mK NETD. It's a lightweight, no-frills thermal scope (no built-in rangefinder on this model).
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 TU425 SE is the entry of the whole TU line: the 25mm lens and 400 sensor keep it light and affordable for close-range hog and predator work. Step up to the TU435 for a built-in rangefinder and 35mm lens, or to the 640x512 TU635 and TU650 for more detail and reach.

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.
