#PulsarThermalImaging

This is a review of the brand-new Pulsar Axion XQ30 Pro, a pocket-sized thermal monocular. Unlike quite a few of the thermals we review, the price of this thermal monocular should also fit most people’s pockets. To begin with, the small size of this device has to be mentioned. Previously, a small-sized thermal has always meant a compromise in image quality, but modern technology and development can also put old truths and preconceptions to shame. Let’s see how the XQ30 Pro performs!

Photo Of The Day and we go back to a recent event in Texas where I was kindly allowed to shoot one of my dream guns. The Barrett M107 A1 is a beast of a rifle that we see in various images, but only a few have seen one live. To get the opportunity to actually shoot one was quite the experience.

This is a review of the Pulsar Talion XQ35 Pro Thermal Imaging Riflescope. This is a compact, lightweight thermal imaging hunting riflescope available at a reasonable price. Its fairly small size in combination with various possible mounting solutions makes it suitable for a large number of platforms, like ARs, semi-autos and bolt-action rifles.

High-definition thermal Imaging is here, in the shape of the Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XL50 riflescope. Pulsar’s first HD thermal riflescope also includes a laser rangefinder, which can be connected to a ballistic calculator and deliver on-screen aiming.

This is a review of the Pulsar Merger LRF XP50 Thermal Binoculars. The closest thing we’ve ever had a look at here is the almost three-year-old review of the Pulsar Accolade 2 LRF XP50, and things have certainly moved on during that time. Apart from one thing, everything has been improved!

This is a review of the Aimpoint Duty RDS with 3X-C Magnifier – 39mm FlipMount & TwistMount base. As a bonus, we added Pulsar’s new PSP-V Adapter to add some thermal capability to the system. Due to the supply and demand situation in the World, it was quite difficult to get our hands on some of these components, but Aimpoint were kind to send me some samples for testing earlier this spring. The Aimpoints have been used on a variety of platforms like the Heckler & Koch MR223, Ruger Precision Rifle and an AR15 in .300 Blackout.

Pulsar have announced the start of sales of their new line of Thermion 2 XQ Pro thermal imaging riflescopes that were introduced at the 2022 IWA & Outdoor Classics trade fair earlier this year. The line includes three scopes: Thermion 2 XQ35 Pro, Thermion 2 XQ50 Pro and the Thermion 2 LRF XQ50 Pro. The main difference from previous models of the Thermion 2 XQ35/50 is a 384×288 pixel @17μm,

This is a review of the Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XP50 Pro, which Pulsar claims is the first thermal imaging riflescope with a classic design and built-in laser rangefinder. Loaded with features and some of the most powerful components available on the market, like the EU-made 640×480 sensor, this is definitely one to evaluate if you’re looking for a premium thermal rifle scope.

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.

Photo Of The Day: The “cool thing” today isn’t really the picture with the suppressed Heckler & Koch MR223 above. Instead, it’s the merged image below where you can see a mixture of a digital photo from an iPhone with what the thermal riflescope sees (white hot). The riflescope is the brand new Pulsar Thermion 2 XP50 LRF Pro. The box on top of the riflescope is a laser rangefinder, which is very quick in sending the distance to the target back to the user. The distance is displayed on the on-screen display so the hunter can make an accurate shot. You can see in the videos below how it works.

At the recent IWA exhibition in Germany, Pulsar showed a new setup to attach their thermal front attachments to red dots and riflescopes with the help of an adapter. The product launch is now upon us and is called the PSP-V adapter. It is designed to mount the Proton and Krypton FXG50 thermal imaging attachments in front of optical sights on hunting and sporting weapons with Weaver/Picatinny rails, found on most modern sporting and AR‒15 platform rifles. An adapter may not sound like huge news, but it will actually make it a lot easier to use thermals on a lot of rifles.

Pulsar are releasing their next generation of Thermal Monoculars: Pulsar Axion 2 XQ35 and Axion 2 LRF XQ35. Pulsar promises an enhanced image quality, longer battery life and a lower price. According to Pulsar, the XQ35s can detect a standard 1.8 m tall object up to 1300 meters away in complete darkness, and the battery is said to be able to power the device for 11 hours of continuous use.

Pulsar @ TFB:

The Pulsar Thermion 2 XP50 LRF Pro is Pulsar’s new flagship model of thermal riflescopes. It adds a feature many hunters have been waiting for, a built-in precision laser rangefinder. The integrated compact laser rangefinder (LRF) is fitted into a single optical channel, and gives the riflescope a capability to measure distances up to 800 metres and a thermal detection range up to 1800 metres.
