Armasight Launches New Collector Series of Thermal Weapon Sights
Paul B. 05.02.24
Armasight USA has announced yet another powerful thermal weapon sight to their growing catalog, the Collector 320 and 640. Optimized for use on .223/5.56 caliber rifles, rimfire, airguns, and crossbows. Something many companies need to do more of, put a focus on what the thermal is designed to be used with, instead of a one size fits most approach. This has allowed Armasight USA to trim excess weight and bulk from the Collector VS their other offerings for lighter recoil platforms, making for a much nimbler and agile weapon.

With weights right around 1lb with a mount, these are some very lightweight thermals with impressive specifications. I personally am looking forward to seeing how they perform when they start shipping. They are both available for preorder now, Collector 320 and Collector 640.
