Pulsar THERMION 2 LRF XL50 Thermal Rifle Scope - <35mk 1024x768px 12um
The Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XL50 is proper flagship-tier thermal glass—packing a huge 1024×768 12µm HD sensor with ultra-refined image detail and a <35mK NETD that still delivers a very clean, high-contrast picture even in messy weather. The 50mm F1.0 lens gives serious reach, with detection out to around 2300m, and the built-in laser rangefinder takes care of distance instantly so you’re not second-guessing anything in the field. It’s built tough, runs on a dual battery system, and is designed for long-range shooters who want maximum detail and confidence at distance rather than just “seeing heat.”

- Quick-start Guide
1. What resolution does it use?
It uses a 1024×768 thermal sensor with a 12µm pixel pitch for very high-definition thermal imaging.
2. How sensitive is it in poor conditions?
It has a NETD of under 35mK (with system sensitivity even lower), meaning it can still separate small heat differences in fog, rain, and low-contrast environments.
3. What is the detection range?
It can detect deer-sized targets out to approximately 2300 metres depending on conditions.
4. Does it have a laser rangefinder?
Yes, it includes a built-in LRF with a measuring range up to around 800m and about ±1m accuracy.
5. What magnification does it offer?
It provides 1.75–14x magnification, keeping a wide field of view at low power and strong detail at higher zoom.
6. What display does it use?
It uses a 1024×768 AMOLED HD display for sharp contrast and smooth image rendering.
7. Is it suitable for long-range shooting?
Yes, it’s designed specifically for longer-range observation and shooting, with high resolution that holds detail even when zoomed.
8. How long does the battery last?
Typically up to around 6–10 hours depending on conditions and battery setup (internal + external pack system).
9. Is it weatherproof?
Yes, it has an IPX7 waterproof rating, so it can handle heavy rain and harsh field use.
10. What’s the main advantage over lower Thermion models?
The big step up is the 1024×768 HD sensor, which gives noticeably better target detail and identification at distance compared to 640-class scopes.
