Manufacturer's Description
The ACE is built around the idea of combining leading user-requested features in a streamlined optic that balances advanced capability with ease-of-use in the field. Designed to feel like a traditional day optic, the ACE is compatible with bolt action or semi-automatic rifles using standard 30 mm mounts and rings. The combination of an internal USB-C charging battery and a removable 18650 style rechargeable battery allows users to hot-swap batteries in the field to run indefinitely. A 1-3x ocular magnifier provides optical magnification of the 2560×2560 round AMOLED display inside the eyepiece. The Vision+ system pairs this high-resolution display with a 18 mK NETD sensor for an incredibly detailed and precise image.
New for 2025, the ACE L35 offers a more affordable option in the ACE line for predator and hog hunters who don't require a laser rangefinder or higher resolution sensor. Packing tremendous value, the ACE L35 retains all other features of ACE line of thermal rifle scopes.
- Lens-integrated laser rangefinder adds rangefinding capability to the optic and better laser alignment without adding bulk.
- A 1-3x optical ocular magnifier provides additional magnification of the display without any reticle shift or digital zoom.
- High-contrast round 2560×2560 AMOLED display provides increased clarity and detail.
- Simplified controls offer improved ergonomics and a better user experience in the field.
- Uses common 18650 style rechargeable batteries.
- A ballistic calculator function displays bullet drop values based on the laser rangefinder input data and a user-customized cartridge profile.
- Charge through the unit with a unique lock-out USB-C port design.
