![]() ![]() This product hasn’t been available for a few months, and there’s a good deal of uncertainty over sourcing for a number of brands, besides Pulsar. Let’s talk about its price-over $6,500-and its scarcity. In terms of its guts, the Thermion 2 is powered by a 640×480 microbolometer resolution sensor and a sharp 1024×768 AMOLED display that pops against just about any background. The three-button control pad near the eyepiece is intuitive and textured to make navigation in total darkness repeatable after a few uses. The ergonomics and ease of use are both excellent, starting with the ambidextrous focus control on the thermal housing near the objective bell. For precision shooting, the “picture-in-picture” mode, which magnifies the aiming point, is a useful feature. The magnification range-2x out to 16x-is useful, as is the ability to choose between 10 reticles and nine different color modes. The rangefinder has an inclinometer, unusual in this class of scope, and a ballistic calculator that can prescribe shooting solutions. While the unit can detect heat signatures out to 2,000 yards, it only really becomes useful inside about 500 yards, when images start to gain resolution and the rangefinder-rated out to 875 yards-can identify targets quickly and with pretty good precision. Andrew McKean Andrew McKean The Pulsar Thermion 2 Pro has upgraded features including a more powerful laser rangefinder. It has the ability to record both photos and videos, and then share to a mobile app via its built-in Wi-Fi. Its data-capture-and-share capability is impressive. It’s also among the more durable units, and its combination of on-board and removable batteries is a key asset to keep it cranking in cold weather. In terms of products available on the civilian market, this rangefinding riflescope has the best combination of range, detection sensitivity, ease of use, and ample mounting dimensions. ![]()
