The ThermTec 2.0 scopes come in two shapes. The Ares 2.0 is a tube scope that sits in normal rings like a day scope. The Vidar 2.0 is compact for lighter rifles. Both come in 35 mm, 50 mm and 60 mm versions, and the L models have a rangefinder built in. Ask us which suits your rifle.
A handheld finds the heat, counts the mob and helps you plan the stalk, then the scope comes up for the shot. Have a look at Thermal Monoculars Australia or ThermTec's Wild and Cyclone handhelds on ThermTec Thermal Monoculars.
Once the lens is sorted, pick the body: the Ares is a classic 30 mm tube and the Vidar is compact. Then it's a built-in rangefinder, battery type and mounting.
These are the newer ThermTec 2.0 Ares and Vidar scopes. For every ThermTec scope, see ThermTec Thermal Scopes Australia.

Why grab a monocular too
A scope is built for the shot, so a handheld does the looking. A Wild or Cyclone (see ThermTec monoculars) finds the animal, then the Ares or Vidar 2.0 comes up when you're ready to shoot.
35 mm: fence lines, scrub and mixed paddocks
Most rabbits, pigs and foxes around fence lines and mixed country turn up inside 150 m. Have a look at the 35 mm 2.0 scopes: the Ares 335L (tube with a rangefinder) or the Vidar 335L (compact with a rangefinder). The 335 and 360 models without a rangefinder suit you if you range another way.
50–65 mm class — open country, foxes past 150 m
If you're picking out foxes across open paddocks past 150 m, often around 250 m, go 50–65 mm. Popular picks with a rangefinder: the Ares 660L and Vidar 650L.
Tube vs compact — Ares or Vidar 2.0
Ares 2.0 is a classic 30 mm tube. Vidar 2.0 is compact, so it's shorter on the rail. Pick the lens for how far you shoot, then the body that suits your rifle.
Which ThermTec 2.0 scope fits the hunt?
| If you want… | Have a look at | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Something to spot with | ThermTec Wild / Cyclone monoculars | Find it before the rifle comes up |
| Foxes on open country at 250 m, tube scope | Ares 660L 2.0 | 50–65 mm tube with a rangefinder |
| Open country, compact scope | Vidar 650L | 50–65 mm compact with a rangefinder |
| Fence lines and scrub inside 150 m, tube scope | Ares 335L 2.0 | 35 mm, wider view for closer work |
| Closer country, compact scope | Vidar 335L | 35 mm compact with a rangefinder |
| All ThermTec scopes (incl. Oryx / IBEX) | ThermTec Thermal Scopes Australia | Every ThermTec scope |
Then the extras
A rangefinder (the "L" models) tells you the distance before you shoot. Battery: check how long it runs for a long sit. Mounting depends on the body: rings for the Ares tube, a rail mount for the compact Vidar.
ThermTec 2.0 Thermal Scopes Australia — FAQ
Why buy a thermal monocular before a ThermTec 2.0 scope?
It's safer and quicker. You find and identify the animal with the handheld, then bring the rifle up only when you're ready to shoot. Have a look at ThermTec Thermal Monoculars.
35 mm or 50–65 mm?
It comes down to how far you shoot. Inside about 150 m, a 335 does the job. For foxes in open country around 250 m, go a 650 or 660.
Ares tube or Vidar compact?
Go Ares if you want a classic tube in rings, or Vidar if you want something shorter and compact on the rail.
What is ThermTec 2.0 vs the wider ThermTec scope shelf?
These are the newer Ares and Vidar 2.0 scopes. For the Oryx, IBEX and every other ThermTec scope, see ThermTec Thermal Scopes Australia. More on the brand: ThermTec Australia.
