HikMicro HIKTac TC19L Thermal Imaging Rifle Scope

The HikMicro HIKTac TC19L thermal imaging rifle scope features a built-in laser rangefinder and ballistic calculator. A low weight and compact form factor limit any negative impact on weapon handling.

In terms of measurements, the scope is modest; it falls into a similar category as holographic sights, although the TC19L is a little wider. It is very lightweight, however, at only 295 grams. The weight and relatively compact dimensions ensure that it does not add much weight to a rifle, limiting any hindrances in movement and use of the weapon itself.

Mounting the rifle scope is quick and straightforward: a QD mount allows for lightning-fast mounting on a Weaver/Picatinny mounting rail. This ease of use is further reinforced by the push buttons on the housing, with which the scope can be operated when wearing gloves. A battery life of around three and a half hours allows for relatively long use; the battery is also easily exchanged, allowing for the use of backup batteries.

A built-in laser rangefinder and ballistic calculator allow for a high degree of accuracy. The laser rangefinder has a maximum effective range of 1000 metres, exceeding the 900-metre effective detection range of the thermal scope. A ballistic profile can be set either on the scope itself or through the app, enabling accurate ballistic calculations.

The HikMicro HIKTac TC19L thermal imaging rifle scope has a sensitive sensor at a NETD of <18 mK. In practical terms, this means that the sensor is capable of detecting very minute differences in temperature, after which they are smoothly displayed on a 3.1” AMOLED screen with a 50 Hz refresh rate. The optical magnification of the lens is 1.2x, with additional 2x, 4x and 8x electronic magnifications as additional options. Thus, the TC19L can achieve a maximum magnification of 9.6x.
