Affiliate disclosure
The short version: some links are affiliate links, and a commission never changes our scores.
Last updated November 9, 2026
How the buy buttons work
Some links are affiliate links: we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes our scores.
Every "View offer at …" button takes you to a store that sells the monocular, usually the brand's own US store or product page (Pulsar, AGM, ATN, Nocpix, RIX, TOPDON, Vortex, Burris). Some of these links are affiliate links: if you buy through them, we may earn a commission, and you pay exactly the same price. That is how Best Thermal Monocular pays for the time spent comparing monoculars and re-checking prices.
- Affiliate buttons carry an "Affiliate link" label and a
sponsoredattribute; the others carrynofollow. - Scores, rankings and verdicts do not change with a commission: they come from the published formula, which only sees specs and prices.
- Monoculars without an affiliate program stay in the rankings, at the place the formula gives them.
Where the scores come from
Our scores come from manufacturer data, published prices and the formula on the methodology page.
What we never do
- We do not sell placements, sponsored reviews or "best of" spots.
- We do not publish fake reviews, ratings or promo codes.
