(MANSFIELD, TEXAS 2017/10/20) – Sightmark is proud to introduce the highly-anticipated Photon RT Night Vision Riflescope. The successor to the Photon XT, one of the most popular night vision scopes ever, the new Photon RT series of digital night vision riflescopes improves upon the XT generation with an upgraded core and new, user-friendly features while maintaining the same simplicity and durability that made the Photon XT line so successful. The Photon RT series consists of four models: Photon RT 4.5x42S (SM18015), Photon RT 4.5×42 (SM18016), Photon RT 6x50S (SM18017), and Photon RT 6×50 (SM18018).

Enhanced Imaging and Day/Night Versatility

Designed for both day and night use, the Photon RT features an upgraded 768×576 CMOS sensor, offering 40% higher resolution than the previous XT models. The detailed 640×480 LCD display provides a crisp and clear visual experience. Hunters will appreciate built-in video recording with sound, and a 2x digital zoom that enables better target acquisition in the field. These features make the Photon RT an ideal choice for hog and predator hunting in low-light and nighttime environments.

Streamlined Power and Connectivity

Photon RT riflescopes are power-bank compatible via a microUSB port, enabling extended runtime for longer hunts. Additionally, the scope integrates seamlessly with the Pulsar Stream Vision app, allowing users to stream and view footage remotely on their smartphones or smart devices—perfect for reviewing hunts or sharing in real time.

Invisible IR Illumination for Stealth Hunting

While all Photon RT models include a built-in IR illuminator, the non-‘S’ versions are equipped with a covert 940nm IR light. This invisible infrared beam ensures your position remains hidden, as it does not emit a visible red glow when viewed directly. The side Weaver rail provides added functionality, letting shooters mount additional IR accessories or other tactical tools.

Feature-Rich, Affordable Night Vision Optic

Hunters will benefit from practical features such as one-shot zeroing, six selectable reticle options, IP55 water-resistant protection, and a recoil rating up to .375 caliber. Each Photon RT riflescope comes with a full kit, including a carrying case, USB cable, spare battery container, battery pouch, lens cloth, and user manual—ensuring you're ready right out of the box.

The Photon RT Night Vision Riflescope is redefining the expectations for affordable night vision optics with its reliable construction, modern features, and enhanced image clarity. Whether stalking hogs at dusk or scanning fields under the cover of darkness, the Photon RT delivers unmatched performance for hunters and shooters alike.
