The Pulsar Thermion 2 XG50 3–24x Thermal Imaging Rifle Scope delivers exceptional performance through a combination of advanced thermal technology, rugged construction, and classic day-scope ergonomics. At its core lies an extremely sensitive 640×480, 12µm, <40mK NETD thermal sensor, paired with a fast-aperture 50mm f1.0 germanium objective lens. This powerful partnership provides richly contrasted, pin-sharp thermal imagery with an impressive detection range of up to 2300m, ensuring superb performance even in heavy rain, dense fog, or snowfall.
The scope’s 3–24x variable magnification offers superb versatility in the field, with smooth digital zoom in 2x steps or continuous adjustment to maintain the ideal balance between magnification and field of view. Ambidextrous focusing wheels sit comfortably on either side of the objective lens, enabling rapid, precise focusing while keeping your shooting position steady. To further enhance clarity, the Thermion 2 XG50 provides three sensitivity amplification levels, allowing fine-tuned optimisation of image detail and background contrast at long range.
Thermal imagery is presented with stunning clarity on a 1024×768 HD AMOLED display, delivering crisp, richly detailed visuals even in cold weather. A wide-angle eyepiece ensures comfortable, natural image perception over extended observation. Picture-in-Picture mode provides a magnified zeroing frame while retaining a full view of the scene, enabling precise aiming without sacrificing situational awareness.
With a dual battery system offering up to 10 hours of operation, the Thermion 2 XG50 is ready for long nights in the field. The external battery is designed for quick, intuitive replacement, even in total darkness, thanks to a tactile embossed surface. Shooters can store multiple firearm setups using five shooting profiles with up to ten zeroing distances each, ensuring seamless switching between rifles or ammunition types. A choice of ten customisable reticles in nine colour modes, combined with eight colour palettes, gives full control over the sight picture to suit any lighting or environment.
Built to perform under pressure, this riflescope features a durable magnesium alloy housing that doubles as a heat sink to protect internal components. It is fully IPX7 waterproof, resisting heavy rain, humidity, and immersion in one metre of water for up to 30 minutes. High-calibre recoil resistance up to 6000 joules makes it suitable for demanding calibres such as .30-06, .300 Win Mag, and .375 H&H, as well as smooth-bore and pneumatic rifles. Its sleek, traditional profile mounts seamlessly using standard 30mm rings, preserving the look and balance of a classic day scope.
Connectivity is equally advanced, with integrated recording and 16GB internal memory for storing photos and videos. Compatibility with Stream Vision 2 opens up extensive wireless features, including remote control, real-time streaming, firmware updates, and cloud storage, ensuring the scope is always performing at its best and making sharing footage effortless.
Powerful, precise, and built for any environment, the Pulsar Thermion 2 XG50 combines cutting-edge thermal performance with intuitive design to deliver a truly premium shooting experience.
