#BrowningBARMatch

This is a review of the Talion XQ38, Pulsar’s brand new Thermal Imaging Riflescope. Launched at SHOT Show 2022, it’s a compact, lightweight thermal imaging hunting riflescope with several advanced capabilities. The compact size and low weight in combination with a lean price point for a thermal sight make it stand out. It’s loaded with features that would work well on a number of hunting platforms, including ARs, semi-autos and bolt-action rifles. Wе had our sample for testing for a few months now and it’s time to wrap things up and tell our readers what we think about it.

Our Photo Of The Day brings us to the subject of hunting and thermal imaging. Some say it takes the hunt out of hunting, but it can be a great help and also make dull moments much more interesting. Here you can see the Browning BAR Match in .308 Win and the brand new InfiRay Zoom ZH38 thermal imaging monocular which I brought to a recent hunt. The camera managed to catch the disappearing sunlight just over the InfiRay icon.

The Browning Bar Match/FN FNAR is a fairly popular semi-automatic hunting rifle in some countries where hunting with AR10s may be forbidden. I happen to own one, and I swear every time I have to clean and take it apart as it’s a pretty complicated and time-consuming job. Then I start to think how much Browning charged for the magazines. Other than that, it’s a pretty good hunting rifle, a lot of hunters use it for wild boar. Mine’s very accurate as well, 3 shots hole-in-hole at 80 yards is not an issue with hunting ammunition.

I’ve had the Aimpoint ACRO P-1 now for a while. I didn’t realize I was one of the first ones to get one, so I took no hurry in my evaluation. On the other hand, there are some benefits with evaluating products over time rather than just over the day.
