This time, I didn't find the news on https://www.gunfinder.de or in the depths of the Internet. This time I was asked to take a look at a brand new device. Of course I wanted to!

Infiray's new thermal imager comes with a couple of new features: a 1 MOA precision promise and a removable control that can be used as a remote control. Both seem to make sense, and in the short period of time I was able to test the device, I was fully convinced.

In summary, the device made a very good first impression with simple operation, excellent precision and good workmanship. You can see a detailed presentation in the video:

Since the device was not yet available in stores at the time of the test and nothing could be found about it online, I unfortunately cannot tell you anything about the exact scope of delivery and the price. In any case, the packaging was appealing and of high quality, and the scope of delivery of my device was impressive: device, scope adapter for 50mm lens diameter, power supply, charging cable, holder for an external powerbank, connection cable for the powerbank, attachment to attach the detachable control unit to the weapon, pica rail for attaching further accessories, and 10 heat pads for shooting in.

The technical specifications correspond to a high-end device:

Among the non-existent information was the instruction manual. Despite this hurdle, I was able to find my way around the menu after a short time without any problems. Besides a photo/video function, the device also offers the possibility to save different profiles when shooting. This is helpful if you use different weapons for hunting, or share Eoin device with others.

Shooting in on the stand was done with a Ruger American Hunter in 6.5 mm Creedmoor caliber and Hornady Match ammunition. This combination shoots extremely accurately, as seen in the film. Repeatable shot groups under 25mm are the rule. Thus, all the prerequisites were in place to be able to make a statement about the precision promise. On the first shot with the device on, we were then 6cm too far to the left and too deep. The menu is accessed, as usual, by pressing the menu button for a long time. Then you navigate to the crosshairs and confirm with the menu button. Adjusting the device is then precisely simple - provided you don't confuse "plus" and "minus", like the author. You can see the result in the movie, it speaks for itself.

The only drawback that I noticed in the very short test period is a matter of taste: the battery is fixed. InfiRay does offer the appropriate accessories, and already supplies some of them, to get around this problem, but this solution increases the weight and makes the weapon bulkier. Whether the accessories are necessary and how stable the battery is in practice, especially in winter, will be seen in the future.
