The Pulsar Thermion 2 XP50 LRF Pro is a premium high-performance thermal riflescope designed for serious hunters and long-range observation. At its core, the device features a 640 × 480 thermal sensor with a NETD (noise-equivalent temperature difference) of less than 25 mK. This high sensitivity ensures excellent detail recognition, even in challenging environments like fog, rain, or cold mornings.
One of the standout features of this scope is its fast F50/1.0 germanium objective lens, which, combined with the sensitive sensor, allows for a remarkable detection range of up to 1,800 metres. This makes it highly capable even in low-contrast thermal scenes where subtle heat signatures are critical to detect.
The magnification range runs from 2× to 16×, providing plenty of flexibility to zoom in on distant targets or maintain a wide field of view when scanning. To aid in precise aiming, Pulsar includes a picture-in-picture (PIP) mode: a small, magnified frame (about 10% of the display) shows the reticle and target for highly accurate zeroing, while the rest of the screen retains the full broader view.
In terms of reticles, the Thermion 2 XP50 LRF Pro offers 10 pre-loaded reticle profiles, each available in 9 different colours — giving users great versatility to adapt to different environments and personal preferences. The scope also supports saving up to 10 zeroing profiles, with up to ten distances per profile, which is very helpful for shooters using different calibres or shooting at varying ranges.
A built-in laser rangefinder (LRF) is integrated into the scope’s optical channel, with a maximum range of 800 metres and an accuracy of ±1 metre.
For power, the scope uses a dual Li-ion battery system: an internal 4.9 Ah battery and a removable 2 Ah battery. Together, these provide up to 10 hours of continuous runtime. The external battery can be swapped in complete darkness by touch, thanks to tactile guidance built into its design.
Durability is a strong suit: the body is made of a magnesium alloy that’s both lightweight and rugged, helping with heat dissipation. It’s also recoil-resistant, rated for high-powered calibres, and built to withstand environmental stress. The scope is waterproof to IPX7, meaning it can survive immersion in up to 1 metre of water for 30 minutes. Temperature-wise, it operates reliably across a wide range, from –25 °C to +50 °C, and its frost-resistant AMOLED display maintains clarity even in motion or cold.
The display is a high-contrast AMOLED panel, with 1,024 × 768 resolution, delivering sharp, fluid images. Wolf Eyes Users also get 8 colour palettes (White Hot, Black Hot, Red Hot, Rainbow, Ultramarine, etc.) to tailor the thermal imaging to different conditions and tasks.
Connectivity-wise, the scope includes Wi-Fi (dual-band) and integrates with Pulsar’s Stream Vision 2 app for iOS and Android. That allows firmware updates, live image streaming to your phone or tablet, remote control, and cloud storage for recorded photos and videos. Recording is very capable: there’s 16 GB of internal memory, and you can capture video (in .mp4) or still images (in .jpg) at 1,024 × 768 resolution.
In terms of ergonomics and handling, the Thermion 2 XP50 LRF Pro starts up in just 3 seconds. Focusing is done via internal focusing wheels located on both sides of the body, which is great for both left- and right-handed shooters. The scope mounts on standard 30 mm rings, making it compatible with common mounting setups.
All up, the Thermion 2 XP50 LRF Pro is a powerful, feature-rich thermal scope. It delivers long-range detection, high sensitivity, and precision aiming thanks to its PIP mode and laser rangefinder. The durable build and long battery life make it reliable for field use, while the Wi-Fi and recording features add modern connectivity and convenience. For hunters or observers who demand top-tier performance in their thermal gear, this scope is a standout.
