4 of the Best PULSAR Thermal Optics

Night hunters and special operators can accept no compromises in the thermal optics they use to support them in the field, and PULSAR thermal optics are some of the best.

But what are the best of their catalog, and what should you be looking for? Start your search with a few of these which are definitely some of the best PULSAR optics on the market at the current time. 

For Those Who Prefer Lightweight Thermal Monoculars: ORYX LRF

Some night hunters will prefer the lightweight performance and small, compact form factor of thermal monoculars. For these, one of the best PULSAR thermal optics is the ORYX LRF.

Equipped with a 1500 yard laser rangefinder, the ORYX is made with a lightweight and durable magnesium alloy housing, and delivers powerful performance as a result of its 640x480, 12μm sensor that delivers a 50Hz frame rate and a NETD rating of 40mK or better. 

It also offers variable magnification, several color palettes, and has customizable brightness and contrast settings, making it very hunter-friendly.

It’s also a great option for night hunters that have issues with night blindness in both eyes when using thermal binoculars; the form factor of a monocular (like a scope) only requires you to use one eye, preserving your night vision in the other. 

For Those Who Prefer Binoculars: The Symbion LRF

A thermal monocular will not work for all night hunters; for those that prefer the familiarity and form factor of conventional optical binoculars, thermal binoculars such as the Symbion LRF are a good option as well. 

The Symbion LRF, like the PULSAR Oryx, is equipped with an integrated LRF, this one with a detection range of 1600 yards, enabling accurate, quick estimations for range in the field. 

Besides the form factor, another great thing about these thermal monoculars is that they are not just thermal binocs; they also offer multispectral imaging and can be used as night vision binoculars as well. 

For Those Who Need a Do-All Thermal Scope: The Thermion 2 LRF XL60

The Thermion 2 LRF XL60 is, in many ways, PULSAR’s flagship thermal optic, and one of the best thermal scopes on the market right now. 

Powerful performance, high base magnification, a detection range in excess of 3000 yards, customizable settings, a dual battery system, and crisp, clear sight pictures are only a few of the things this PULSAR thermal scope delivers. It is a great thermal scope all around.

For those who love the XL60 but are a little more cost-conscious, consider the Thermion XL50. 

For the Budget-Conscious: Talion XG35

Anyone who is looking for a budget-friendly option for their first thermal optic would do well with the Talion XG35, a lightweight, durable thermal scope that offers similar performance to the ORYX. 

Its 640x480 sensor and 1750 yard detection range nearly mimic the performance of the ORYX, the difference is that the Talion can easily be mounted as a thermal scope and is more cost-effective than the Thermion 2 LRF XL60.
