AGM RattlerV2 25-256

The RattlerV2 25‑256 is a step up from the 19‑mm variant for hunters who want more magnification and reach without a big price jump. It employs the same 256×192 sensor but pairs it with a 25 mm lens, resulting in a 3.5× base magnification and narrower field of view. AGM lists detection up to ~1,250 yards while retaining the generous 11.5‑hour runtime of the rechargeable NE‑4400 battery.

Shot‑activated recording, ten reticle options, multiple zero profiles and Wi‑Fi connectivity are all on board, and a robust ADM QD mount is included.

  • Is This the Right Thermal for You?:

    If you regularly shoot at ~200–400 yards and want more magnification than the 19‑mm scope provides, the 25‑256 fits the bill. It’s well suited to hunters and landowners who need an affordable thermal optic with enough reach for open pastures and crop fields. Those desiring higher image quality may still prefer the 25‑320 or 25‑384 models.

  • Best For:

    • Predator and hog hunters wanting extra base magnification for shots out to ~400 yards
    • Ranchers and farmers who need to scan fields and identify animals at mid‑range
    • Budget‑conscious users seeking extended reach without moving up to higher‑resolution sensors

  • Not Ideal For:

    • Dense woods where a wide field of view is beneficial
    • Long‑range engagements beyond about 500 yards
    • Users seeking the sharpest image; the 256 sensor still produces pixelation at higher zoom

  • How This Model Compares:

    Compared with the 19‑256, the 25‑256 increases optical magnification from 2.5× to 3.5× and is rated for detection up to ~1,250 yards. Resolution remains 256×192, so image sharpness is unchanged. Upgrading to the 25‑320 boosts resolution and improves clarity, while the 25‑384 offers both higher resolution and a wider field of view.

    Versus the 19‑256, the 25‑256 has more magnification and longer detection; versus the 25‑320 and 25‑384, it has lower resolution but retains a long 11.5‑hour battery life.

  • What You Actually Get in Real-World Use:

    Hunters appreciate the 3.5× base magnification when shooting out to ~300–400 yards; it allows better target discrimination than the 19‑mm model without making the view too narrow. The rechargeable battery still lasts all night, and the shot‑activated recording and simple menu layout remain highlights. Due to the 256 sensor, images begin to pixelate when digital zoom exceeds about 4×, so long‑range shots may require a higher‑resolution model.

    Overall, users find the 25‑256 to be a practical upgrade when a bit more reach is needed without spending significantly more.

  • FAQS

    • What is the effective shooting range of the RattlerV2 25‑256?
      Detection is rated to about 1,250 yards for a human‑sized target. Realistically, most hunters use this scope for shots within 400–500 yards to ensure positive ID and ethical hits.
    • How does the 25‑256 differ from the 19‑256?
      The 25‑256 uses a larger 25 mm lens and provides a 3.5× base magnification (versus 2.5×), giving you more reach and a narrower field of view. Sensor resolution and battery life remain the same.
    • Does the scope record video and audio?
      Yes. Like all RattlerV2 scopes, it features shot‑activated and manual recording of video with audio onto 16 GB of internal memory.
    • Is the battery rechargeable and replaceable?
      Yes. The NE‑4400 battery is rechargeable and can be swapped quickly without tools. Two batteries and a charger are included.
    • What reticle options are available?
      There are 10 reticle styles with multiple zeroing profiles so you can set up the scope for different rifles and calibers.

  • Detailed Product Description:

    The RattlerV2 25‑256 fills the gap between AGM’s 19‑mm entry model and the higher‑resolution variants. By pairing the 256×192 thermal sensor with a 25 mm f/1.0 germanium lens, AGM raises the base magnification to 3.5× and extends detection range to roughly 1,250 yards. This added reach helps hunters make confident shots on coyotes and hogs in more open terrain.

    The scope retains the long‑life rechargeable NE‑4400 battery—providing up to 11.5 hours—and includes two batteries and a charger. Shot‑activated recording captures your hunt automatically, and a simplified menu with raised buttons makes operation easy in the dark. Ten reticle styles and multiple zero profiles let you tailor the optic to various rifles and calibers. 

    Wi‑Fi connectivity allows streaming and file transfer to your phone. With its rugged, waterproof construction and 5‑year warranty, the RattlerV2 25‑256 delivers dependable performance for those needing extra magnification without a major price jump.
