Overview

The Pulsar Thermion 3 LRF XT60 is the flagship of Pulsar's third-generation Thermion line, and its 1280x1024 sensor makes it the most detailed Thermion yet. The 12-micron core runs at 50 Hz with a system NETD under 20 mK behind a 60mm F1.0 lens, giving a 14.6-degree horizontal field of view (25.7 m at 100 m) at 2x and digital magnification to 24x. That combination lets the scope scan wide at low power and still put enough pixels on an animal to confirm species, sex, and age before the shot.

The 1200 m laser rangefinder now sits inside the housing rather than in the thermal lens, so the objective keeps its full F1.0 light path. Range feeds an integrated ballistic calculator that shows a suggested point of aim on the reticle, with Stream Vision Ballistics profiles loaded from a phone. Ten scalable reticles hold their subtensions as you zoom, and three zeroing methods (one-shot, zoom, and freeze) cover sighting in.

Thermion 3 keeps the riflescope form Pulsar introduced with the original Thermion: a 30mm tube in standard rings, a classic zoom ring with a throw lever, and a focus turret where a day scope's elevation turret would be. A 2560x2560 AMOLED sits behind 65 mm of eye relief, the housing is rated for 6000 J of recoil, and a removable APS5 pack works with a built-in battery for up to 8.5 hours.

Key Features

  • 1280x1024 12um sensor with system NETD <20 mK and 50 Hz refresh
  • 60mm F1.0 objective, 2-24x, 14.6-degree field of view
  • 1200 m laser rangefinder in the housing, single, scan, and true horizontal distance modes
  • Integrated ballistic calculator with suggested point of aim and 10 scalable reticles
  • 2560x2560 AMOLED display with 65 mm eye relief
  • 30mm tube for standard rings, classic zoom ring and turret-style focus
  • Removable APS5 plus built-in battery, up to 8.5 hr; 128 GB recording; IP67

Pros

  • +1280x1024 sensor is the most detailed Thermion for identification at range
  • +14.6-degree view at 2x is twice as wide as the XR60 for scanning
  • +Rangefinder and ballistic calculator remove the separate rangefinder
  • +Mounts in standard 30mm rings like a day scope
  • +65 mm eye relief and a 6000 J recoil rating suit heavy calibers

Cons

  • −Up to 8.5 hr runtime is the shortest in the Thermion 3 and Trail 3 lineups
  • −1.3 kg is heavy on a light hunting rifle
  • −Sold without a mount, so rings are an added cost
