THE VALUE LINE

Real thermal. Ranging on every LRF model. A price built to get you into the field.

Not everyone needs the flagship. The Pixfra Chiron is the honest value line — a genuine vanadium-oxide thermal riflescope, in a metal IP67 body, built by one of the few brands that makes its own thermal sensors. It is not the ≤15 mK Pegasus 2 LRF and it does not pretend to be; it is the smart, well-priced way into thermal for the shooter who wants real capability without the flagship price.

Across the range you get a ≤25–30 mK detector, a 1440 × 1080 OLED, six colour palettes, recoil-activated recording and the Pixfra Outdoor app over Wi-Fi. The decision that's left is sensor and lens — 384 or 640, 25 / 35 / 50 mm — and whether you want a built-in 1,000 m laser rangefinder. Three of the four models have one as standard.

DETECT
Pixfra's own VOx sensor
A 384 or 640 vanadium-oxide detector from a brand that engineers its own cores — real thermal contrast on a cold paddock, not a rebadged import.
RANGE
1,000 m LRF on the LRF models
One press measures the distance to 1,000 m and feeds on-board ranging. Standard on the C425-LRF, C635-LRF and C650-LRF.
CAPTURE
Recoil-activated recording
An impact sensor automatically records the moments either side of the shot to onboard storage. Review it, learn from it, share it.
CONNECT
Wi-Fi & Pixfra Outdoor app
Stream the sight picture to a phone so a mate can spot with you, manage zero profiles and pull footage — all in the app.

THE SENSOR-MAKER'S VALUE SCOPE

Thermal that earns its keep.

Pixfra is one of the few brands in the world that designs and manufactures its own thermal sensor cores — the same in-house engineering behind the flagship Pegasus. The Chiron puts that pedigree into a keenly-priced package: a vanadium-oxide detector, a 1440 × 1080 OLED and a clean, readable picture out to real hunting distances, in a metal body sealed to IP67 and rated to 1,000 g of recoil.

RANGE. HOLD. SHOOT.

Ranging where it counts.

At night, distance is the thing your eyes get most wrong. On the three LRF models — the C425-LRF, C635-LRF and C650-LRF — a built-in 1,000 m laser measures it for you in a press, with the number shown right in the sight. The entry C435 keeps the price lowest by measuring distance with on-screen video analysis instead of a laser. Choose the one that fits how you hunt and what you want to spend.

Specifications are supplied by the manufacturer and may be revised without notice; where datasheet revisions differ, the current Chiron LRF datasheet is used for the LRF models. Dimensions and net weight are quoted for the core optic with the battery excluded — the laser-rangefinder module adds to the length and weight on the LRF models. Detection distance refers to a large heat source under favourable conditions and is a sensor benchmark for comparison, not a shooting distance. The C435 measures distance by on-screen video analysis rather than a laser rangefinder.

WHERE IT SITS

Chiron or Pegasus 2 LRF?

We won't pretend the Chiron is the flagship — it's the value line, and the honest way to help you spend well is to show you exactly what stepping up buys. Both are genuine Pixfra thermal scopes with real ranging; the Pegasus 2 LRF adds a finer ≤15 mK sensor, a higher-resolution display and a dual-battery system. If the extra sensitivity earns its place for how you hunt, buy the Pegasus. If you want real, ranging thermal for hundreds less, the Chiron is the pick. Same brand, same local warranty, either way.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Pixfra Chiron — common questions

For the keenest way into thermal, the C435 (384 sensor, 35 mm, $1,690) gives you a real thermal scope with on-screen distance by video analysis. Add a laser rangefinder with the compact C425-LRF (384, 25 mm, $1,990). Step up to the finer 640 sensor with the C635-LRF (35 mm, wide field of view, $2,750), or take the longest reach with the C650-LRF (50 mm, 2,600 m detection, $4,099). Every model except the C435 has a 1,000 m laser rangefinder built in.
The C435 is the value entry: it measures distance using on-screen video analysis rather than a laser, which keeps the price lowest, and it carries 16 GB of storage. The C425-LRF, C635-LRF and C650-LRF each add a genuine built-in 1,000 m laser rangefinder and 32 GB of storage. If you want a real distance reading at the press of a button, choose one of the LRF models.
They're both genuine Pixfra thermal scopes with real ranging, but the Pegasus 2 LRF is the flagship: a finer ≤15 mK detector (versus ≤25 mK on the Chiron LRF models), a higher-resolution OLED and a dual-battery system that keeps running through a battery swap. The Chiron trades that extra sensitivity and screen resolution for a price that sits several hundred to over a thousand dollars lower, format for format. If the finer sensor earns its keep for your shooting, buy the Pegasus; if you want real ranging thermal for less, the Chiron is the pick.
Three of the four models do — the C425-LRF, C635-LRF and C650-LRF each have a built-in 1,000 m laser rangefinder. The entry C435 does not; it estimates distance using on-screen video analysis instead.
Yes. The metal-bodied Chiron is shock-rated to 1,000 g and built for the recoil of common Australian hunting calibres. As with any scope, mount it in quality rings and confirm your zero after fitting.
The Chiron runs on a single removable, rechargeable 18650 cell — around 7.5 hours on the 384 models and 6.5 hours on the 640 models, charged over USB-C. Carry a charged spare and you can swap it in the field in seconds.
Yes. It records stills and video to onboard storage — 32 GB on the LRF models, 16 GB on the C435 — and recoil-activated recording automatically captures the moments around your shot. Over Wi-Fi, the Pixfra Outdoor app adds a live second screen, playback, settings and zero profiles.
Detection range — from 1,300 m on the compact 25 mm C425-LRF up to 2,600 m on the 50 mm C650-LRF — is the distance at which the sensor can register a large warm target under good conditions. It is not a shooting distance. Identification happens far closer, and your ethical shooting range is set by your rifle, your load and the law. The figures are for comparing sensors.
