Hi there .
Short version.
Has anyone yet risked buyimg the new ORION S25 or S2 as its kown also. ??.
Firstly I'll say iv not that much experience with my owning my own thermal.scopes.
A couple of weeks ago I was gifted the orion s25 thermal.
It's a first for a big name in industrial thermal products and monoculars based in China which when looking for my first one iv got to.say put me off . Im very glad a family member wasn't after some research and advice from those in the know.
Iv used many thermals over the years and can't say I understand them as well as the IR scopes due to living in the uk and the strict rules we have here snd lack of good game.
Hunting at night is mostly outlawed, lately with a huge amout of boar turning up , lol
and other not so big predators that have not been manged around farmland especially in Scotland where you need a licence for spring loaded air rifle nowdays, its turning onto.a meat fest at lambing season for these larger pests .
Has anyone else had the opportunity to check this orion s25 thermal out .?
If you have Can you please give me your honest views for my own learning experience and to know what I should be expecting or not from what I'm presuming is an entry level thermal scope.
Iv got to say if you gave me a 25mm $5000+ big brand scope and this orion s25 I would not be able to.tell the difference other than the weight of it , its built well .
As thermals ar used much more on your side of the pond I'd like to hear what you think of this product at what I think would be around the $2000? or less mark as an introductory offer by the manufacturer $700 half price ?. There was an offer on indigogo if still up that will have its basic details.
There's hardly anything yet on utube but if anyone wanted any info thats just not yet been put out there yet ,please get in touch as iv contacted them and been sent more information than I understand. I'm happy to.pass on if it help me learning what im missing or not with this product.
Thanks Darren.
