Pulsar’s most affordable thermal riflescope is also its most popular. Meet the Thermion XP50 Thermal.

Note: This product is currently discontinued.

When it comes to rifelscope technology, there’s no better time to be alive than now. The past few years of optic innovation, and the technological advancements are a flurry of rocket-sciencey goodness. Furthermore, we get to reap the benefits.

Pulsar is widely considered the consumer-thermal and night-vision industry leader in feature-rich, high-definition imaging. So, assigning “flagship” to a specific optic model is a bit challenging. As the term relates to recoil-rated firearm-mountable optics, three claim the top spot in their respective rights — Thermion XP50, Thermion XG50, and Trail 2 LRF XP50.

About the Thermion XP50 Thermal Riflescope

If you’re looking for quality comparable to Trail 2 models but at more affordable price points, look no further than this series. The Pulsar Thermion XP50 Thermal Riflescope ($5500) is the most popular flagship thermal riflescope in Pulsar’s lineup. Feral hog hunters love the device’s 2x base magnification and wider field of view. In comparison, the XG50’s base magnification is 3x.

The IP67 waterproof-rated Pulsar Thermion XP50 Thermal Riflescope also boasts the following specs:

  • 2,000-yard heat-signature detection range
  • rugged magnesium-alloy construction
  • 640×480 microbolometer sensor resolution
  • 17-micron pixel pitch, proprietary Pulsar core
  • 2x-16x magnification range
  • 8x digital zoom
  • continuous 2x-8x stepped-zoom
  • built-in-video with audio
  • 16gb internal storage
  • integrated WiFi with Stream Vision app compatibility.

This highly tuned piece of machinery goes on in specs. And if you’re looking for the techiest piece at the best price, you’ve found your answer.
