Trijicon Eo Hunter243 Ir-Hunter 24-3 Thermal Matte Black 1.2-9.6X 24Mm Multi Reticle 1X-8X Zoom, 640X480, 12 Microns, 60Hz Resolution
The Trijicon IR-Hunter 24-3 is a compact, USA-made thermal riflescope built to deliver target acquisition in any light condition—from complete darkness to obscured daylight shots where conventional optics fail. Built tough to MIL-STD-810G standards and engineered with Trijicon's legendary durability, this thermal scope combines cutting-edge sensor technology with straightforward, glove-friendly controls to give you a real edge on the hunt or range.
At its core, the IR-Hunter 24-3 pairs a high-resolution 640×480 thermal sensor with a 12-micron pixel pitch, delivering sharper image clarity and better target detection than competing 17-micron systems in the same compact footprint. The 60 Hz frame rate keeps moving game sharp and clear, while the 1.2–9.6× magnification (driven by 1×–8× digital zoom on the 24 mm objective) gives you flexibility from close-range to extended distances. A multi-reticle system includes user-selectable options—crosshair, MRAD, MOA, and BDC choices for .223 REM, .308 WIN, and 300 BLK—so you can dial in ballistics that match your load.
Practical features make real-world operation seamless: rotary turret knobs respond quickly even with heavy gloves, manual focus adjustment (on the 60 mm version) keeps the image sharp across all distances, and the vertical battery compartment design is both durable and slimmer than older layouts. USB-C connectivity opens up extended runtime via external power packs and lets you record and download video files. The integrated digital video recorder captures 640×480 MP4 footage directly to SD card, so you can relive hunts or share your success with family and friends. A quick-release Q-LOC mount system lets you swap and secure the scope in low light without fumbling.
Whether you're hunting in darkness, fog, or heavy cover where thermal is your only option, or running a dedicated night-vision setup at the range, the IR-Hunter 24-3 delivers the rugged, reliable performance hunters and shooters expect from Trijicon.

Frequently Asked Questions
What reticles are available, and do they match my hunting caliber?
The IR-Hunter 24-3 offers user-selectable reticles including crosshair, MRAD, MOA, and caliber-specific BDC options for .223 REM, .308 WIN, and 300 BLK. If your hunting load matches one of those three calibers, you can dial in ballistic compensation directly in the reticle. For other calibers, the crosshair or grid options work well with manual turret adjustment.
Can I record and save video of my hunts?
Yes. The IR-Hunter 24-3 includes an integrated digital video recorder that captures 640×480 MP4 video directly to an SD card. You can also attach an external recorder via the USB-C port if you prefer that workflow. This makes it easy to document successful hunts or review field performance.
How do I extend battery life in the field?
The scope features a USB-C port that accepts external power sources, including compatible battery packs. By connecting external power, you can run the scope longer than internal batteries alone allow—useful for extended hunting trips or all-night surveillance.
Does this scope work in complete darkness?
Yes. Thermal optics detect heat signatures rather than light, so the IR-Hunter 24-3 delivers a clear image in total darkness, fog, and heavy vegetation where conventional night vision or daylight scopes cannot. It's built specifically for low-light and no-light hunting and tactical use.
