Guide TU1250M 3.0 Thermal & Night Vision Riflescope with LRF

The Guide TU1250M 3.0 is a flagship multispectral thermal riflescope that pairs a 1,280 × 1,024 thermal sensor with an integrated 1080p digital night vision channel — thermal imaging, night vision, and daytime optics in a single 30mm-tube scope. With a built-in 1,500-meter laser rangefinder, ballistic calculator, and 256 GB of onboard storage, the TU1250M is built for hunters and professionals who refuse to compromise on capability or versatility.

Key Features

• 1280 × 1024 thermal sensor, 12 μm pixel pitch — over 1.3 million thermal pixels deliver exceptional detail at ranges where 640-class scopes start to blur. The 50mm F1.0 objective lens and ≤18 mK NETD produce clean imagery in complete darkness and through smoke, with a thermal detection range of 2,600 meters.

• Dual-channel multispectral imaging — switch between thermal, digital night vision (1920 × 1080), and daytime modes without changing optics. The integrated 35mm digital channel adds a visible-light option for target identification in low-light conditions where thermal alone can’t distinguish fine detail.

• Shutterless 3.0 calibration — eliminates the brief image freeze that conventional thermal scopes produce during recalibration. The display stays live at 50 Hz without interruption, so you never lose sight of a moving target during a critical moment.

• QHD 2560 × 2560 AMOLED display — a high-resolution eyepiece display that renders both thermal and digital channels with sharp clarity. At over 6.5 million pixels, it has more than eight times the pixels of a 1024 × 768 display.

• 1,500 m laser rangefinder with ballistic calculator — range targets instantly and get holdover corrections calculated on-screen. Ballistic profiles are loaded via the TargetIR smartphone app and can be switched on-device once configured, with no phone connection required in the field.

• Recoil-activated recording — each shot automatically captures a 15-second video clip and 5 still photos, stored on 256 GB of internal memory. Instant playback lets you review shots without lowering the rifle.

• 12-hour battery with hot swapping — two built-in batteries plus an external battery system, rated by Guide at 12 hours. Guide states the replaceable 18650s support hot swapping, so a spare goes in without powering down. Standard 18650 cells mean replacement batteries are easy to find.

• IP68 / 6,000J shock rating — fully sealed against dust and submersion, and rated for recoil up to .300 Win Mag. Built to perform in extreme cold (−4°F) through desert heat (122°F).

Ideal For

Serious predator and hog hunters who need positive target identification across thermal, low-light, and daytime conditions without swapping optics — the dual-channel system eliminates the need to carry a separate day scope or clip-on night vision unit.

Long-range thermal hunters who have outgrown 640-class resolution and want the target detail that only a 1280 × 1024 sensor provides at extended distances, backed by an integrated LRF and ballistic solver for precise holdovers.

Professional guides and outfitters running multi-day hunts where battery life, durability, and recording capability matter: 12 hours of runtime, hot-swappable 18650s, IP68 protection, and automatic shot documentation keep the scope operational and clients’ memories captured.

Law enforcement and professional users who need a single optic that performs across day, dusk, and total darkness with rangefinding and ballistic computation built in — no external accessories or modules required.
