Scott Country International Pro Staff Pick Their Favourite Thermal Scopes & Night Vision Gear (2025)
At Scott Country International, we work with some of the UK’s most experienced shooters, deer stalkers, and field professionals.
Our Pro Staff team put our products to the test in real hunting and fieldwork situations, from long-range foxing and deer management to air rifle pest control and wildlife recovery.
So, what do the experts recommend when it comes to the best thermal scopes, thermal optics, and professional shooting kit in the UK? We asked our Pro Staff to name their favourite product in the Scott Country range, and why it stands out!
Mark Ripley – NocPix Ace S60R Thermal Riflescope
“That’s easy, it would be the Nocpix Ace S60R thermal riflescope. Picture quality is awesome and that, combined with the ballistic software, makes long-range foxing at night so much easier!”

Liam Marsh – NocPix Lumi H35R Thermal Spotter
“My favourite is the Nocpix Lumi H35R. It’s a small, lightweight thermal spotter with massive features. From the N-Lock system that pairs with a range scope, to the clarity you get at this price point — it’s unbeatable.”

Richard Merry – Hikmicro Condor CQ50 2.0 Thermal
“For me, it’s the Hikmicro Condor CQ50 2.0 It’s got a brilliant 640 <15mk sensor with a detection range up to 2,600m. Add the onboard laser rangefinder that works out to 1,000m, and it’s an absolute powerhouse.”

Rich Saunders – DNT ThermNight TNC335R
“As an airgunner, it boils down to the Alpex Lite or one of the DNT Optics products. If I could only choose one, it would be the DNT ThermNight TNC335R. The addition of a thermal function gives me an edge in the field.”

Ashley Thompson – DJI Matrice 4T Thermal Drone
“My favourite has to be the DJI Matrice 4T thermal drone. It lets me carry out deer management faster and more efficiently, from dense forest to moorland. It’s also instrumental in deer recovery and anti-poaching patrols.”

? Joe Dicey Cordy– HIKMICRO Habrok Pro HX60
“As a keen deer stalker, my favourite kit is the HIKMICRO Habrok Pro HX60. The thermal sensor delivers crystal-clear images in all conditions, while the 4K day channel lets me ID deer at 500m+. Even at 22× zoom the stabilisation keeps things steady, and the recording/review app is invaluable.”
