Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different imaging modes on the Trijicon Reap IR?

The Trijicon Reap IR offers three main imaging modes: white hot, black hot, and edge detect. Edge detect is a proprietary feature designed for user comfort during extended observation periods. Each mode can also be adjusted for intensity.

How does Trijicon's Enhanced Target Recognition (ETR) feature work?

Trijicon's Enhanced Target Recognition (ETR) is a proprietary technology that prevents the thermal scope's image from being washed out by bright sunlight. It also significantly enhances image detail, making it easier to accurately identify targets.

What type of rangefinder is included with the Trijicon Reap IR?

The Trijicon Reap IR includes a stadiametric rangefinder. This system works by setting a known-sized box and then adjusting the target to fit within that box, allowing the device to calculate the distance to the object.

Is the Trijicon Reap IR durable enough for harsh conditions?

Yes, the Trijicon Reap IR is designed for versatility and durability. It is weather-resistant and shock-resistant, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. It also features a protective lens for the infrared element.
