ATN ThOR 4 384 2-8x Thermal Rifle Scope - 4th Generation, Black

The ATN ThOR 4 384 2-8x thermal rifle scope is a fourth-generation thermal optic built for hunters and shooters who need to see clearly in total darkness. This isn't a gimmick—thermal imaging cuts through fog, rain, dust, and pitch-black conditions where conventional night vision and daylight scopes fail. The THor 4 384 combines a 384x288 thermal sensor running at 60Hz with a 2-8x variable magnification, giving you the flexibility to scan terrain at lower power or dial up for precision shots on distant targets. Whether you're chasing coyotes, hogs, or varmints after dark, or training low-light shooting skills, this scope puts heat-signature targets in sharp relief on a crisp 1280x720 HD display.

Built around ATN's Obsidian IV Dual Core processor, the THor 4 384 does more than just magnify infrared. It logs your hunts to a microSD card (up to 256 GB), streams live video to your phone over WiFi, and records in 1280x960 resolution at 30 or 60 fps—useful for documenting long-range shots or sharing training footage. The ballistic calculator, electronic compass, 3D gyroscope, and barometer give you real-time environmental data; the smart range finder measures distance to target; and Recoil Activated Video (RAV) automatically captures the shot. A built-in microphone records audio, and Bluetooth keeps you connected to the ATN smartphone app for remote control and gallery management.

The scope is weather-resistant and rated for field use. Its 90 mm eye relief is comfortable for extended shooting, and the included 30 mm rings fit standard Picatinny rails. At 2.03 pounds, it's manageable on most rifle platforms. The internal lithium-ion battery runs 18+ hours on a charge, and you can top it up via Micro USB-C. All of that tech can feel overwhelming at first, but once you dial in your reticle color and learn the controls, you'll have a versatile tool that outperforms traditional night vision in wet, dusty, or smoky conditions.

This is a serious investment in thermal capability, not a budget toy. The 3-year warranty backs your purchase, and ATN's customer support is solid. If you hunt or train at night, or need reliable optics for low-visibility conditions, the THor 4 384 2-8x is worth the learning curve.

Frequently Asked Questions

What mount does this thermal scope use, and will it fit my rifle?

The THor 4 384 comes with 30 mm standard rings. These fit any Picatinny rail (the cross-slot rail standard on most modern rifles). If your rifle has a Weaver or different rail system, you'll need an adapter ring, but the factory rings will work on ARs, most bolt-action rifles, and rail-equipped shotguns.

Can I use this scope to hunt at night, and is it legal?

The THor 4 384 is designed for thermal hunting and night-time shooting. Thermal optics are legal for hunting in most U.S. states, but always verify your local and state regulations before use—some states have specific rules on night hunting or thermal equipment. We recommend checking your state's fish and wildlife authority.

How long does the battery last, and how do I recharge it?

The internal lithium-ion battery runs 18+ hours on a full charge. You recharge via the Micro USB Type-C port; a standard USB-C power adapter will work. For extended field trips, carry a portable USB-C power bank as backup.

Does this scope record video, and how do I download it?

Yes. The THor 4 384 records video in 1280×960 resolution at 30 or 60 fps to a microSD card (up to 256 GB supported). You can also stream live to your smartphone via WiFi using the ATN app, which lets you transfer and manage footage remotely. A Micro USB-C cable connects the scope to your computer for card or direct file transfer.
