Skimping on this part means that no matter how advanced the other features are, the unit will never reach its full potential. Arclight Ultra H.D. Germanium Lenses are an investment in quality, vital for enabling all other components to perform exceptionally well. The ArcLight Lens pushes the boundaries of technology by perfectly allowing infrared rays to enter the thermal device unhindered by distortion. This ensures maximum energy delivery to the WAVE thermal sensor, unleashing dramatically superior image quality compared to competitive devices.

Saving Multiple Zeroes and Gun Profiles

The Avenger 40 offers the valuable capability to save up to five distinct zero positions, referred to as Gun Profiles (G1, G2, G3, G4, G5). Before zeroing your scope, simply select a specific profile to save your settings to that profile. These profiles are incredibly useful for users who utilize different setups, various ammunition types, or even switch the scope between multiple firearms. With modern mounting designs and Picatinny rails, coupled with the included Q.D. (Quick Disconnect) scope mount, moving your scope between guns is simple and easy. For optimal return-to-zero, always ensure you reattach the scope to the same rail slot.

Zeroing Distance Recommendations

You have the flexibility to zero the Avenger 40 at any distance you prefer. However, we highly recommend a 50-yard sight-in distance with a 50-yard zero. This combination simplifies the zeroing process and provides excellent point-of-aim / point-of-impact performance across the effective shooting distance of a thermal scope for most applications.

Confidence in Digital Zoom

While many competitive thermal products struggle to maintain their point of impact accuracy with digital zoom, Fusion Thermal scopes are different. Our digital zoom functionality is painstakingly aligned with the optical system at the factory. This meticulous calibration means you can confidently use digital zoom (6x and 12x) to aid in sighting in your scope or for target elaboration without concerns about shifting your point of impact.

Indefinite Zero Retention

Your zero settings, gun profiles, and other user adjustments are saved indefinitely by the Avenger 40, even if the batteries are removed for extended periods or the unit is powered down. Unless you perform a factory reset, this information is stored in an internal software file, much like data on your home or office computer.

Understanding Magnification and Field of View

The Avenger 40 features an optical magnification of 3.0x, with two-step digital zoom options of 6x and 12x. While higher magnification might seem appealing for target elaboration, it's crucial to understand that for thermal optics, optical performance is paramount. What is lost in poor target resolution cannot be compensated for by digital magnification. Additionally, higher magnifications significantly reduce the field-of-view, leading to a "tunneled vision" effect. Magnifications beyond 3.5x can often come with considerable compromises in your field-of-view, making target acquisition and tracking more challenging. The Avenger 40 strikes an optimal balance, providing clear optical performance and effective digital zoom without sacrificing critical field awareness.

Comprehensive 5-Year Transferable Warranty

Fusion Thermal stands by the quality of the Avenger 40 with one of the industry's best warranties: a (5) Year Transferable Warranty. If you register your warranty within sixty (60) days of purchase, the five-year period begins on your original purchase date. If registration is not completed within this timeframe, the warranty will commence from the manufacture date embedded in the serial number. Should the device be transferred or sold to a second party, the warranty will default to the serial number date, ensuring continued coverage for subsequent owners.
