Ian Johnstone at Armstrong quoted me some prices way back in April........phoenix wrote:Fizz,
Break my heart and tell me how much they all cost!

The Guide IR162A was £10720;
The AR-TIRS-50 was £7600;
and the AR-TIRS-75 was £9400.
All plus the dreaded.
I did get PDF's for the two AR units but I don't know how to get them in here.....(just tried by saving it to my desktop then uploading it but it wont allow PDF's)
So cut and paste of the specs:
The actual sights look tidier than the Guide.
AR-TIRS-50 Thermal Imaging weapon sight
The new AR-TIRS-50 thermal weapon sight uses an industry standard 384x288 pixel sensor with a 50mm, f/1 lens to provide an excellent compromise between long range target designation and size/weight of system. It can be mounted on most weapon systems and is supplied with a standard Picatinny rail designed for optimum recoil resistance.
The AR-TIRS-50 is supplied with field-changeable, rechargeable high capacity Lithium batteries for prolonged use, a movable cross hair reticle to allow easy zeroing of the sight to the weapon and a simple user interface guaranteeing maximum flexibility of use.
The OLED eyepiece and large eye-relief make for comfortable viewing and the lightweight, compact, ruggedised and waterproof design ensures that the AR-TIRS-50 will survive most activities and allow operation in the worst weather conditions and in complete darkness without the need for additional illumination.
The use of a 50mm focal length lens provides detection, recognition and identification ranges* to a 1m target of approximately 1,000m, 340m and 170m respectively.

AR-TIRS-75 Thermal Imaging weapon sight
The new AR-TIRS-75 thermal weapon sight uses an industry standard 384x288 pixel sensor with a 75mm,
f/1 lens to provide an excellent compromise between long range target designation and size/weight of
system. It can be mounted on most weapon systems and is supplied with a standard Picatinny rail designed
for optimum recoil resistance.
The AR-TIRS-75 is supplied with field-changeable, rechargeable high capacity Lithium batteries for
prolonged use, a movable cross hair reticle to allow easy zeroing of the sight to the weapon and a simple
user interface guaranteeing maximum flexibility of use.

ruggedised and waterproof design ensures that the AR-TIRS-75 will survive most activities and allow
operation in the worst weather conditions and in complete darkness without the need for additional
illumination.
The use of a 75mm focal length lens provides detection, recognition and identification ranges* to a 1m target
of approximately 1,500m, 500m and 250m respectively.
