I recently put together a detailed guide covering the thermal scopes that have impressed me most through actual field use and testing.
Rather than simply ranking scopes by price or specifications, I broke them down by where each one makes the most sense — best overall, best value, long-range performance, compact options, and wide-field alternatives.
The RIX DBH D12 earned our Best Overall Pick for 2026, but several other models stood out depending on budget and hunting style.

Best Thermal Scopes for Hog Hunting in 2026: Field-Tested Picks
I’ll continue updating the guide as I get more time behind new models and as new thermal optics are released.
