Pulsar thermal is the real deal for night hunting. Getting started? The Thermion 2 XQ35 PRO scope and the Oryx LRF XG35 or Telos XQ35 handhelds are a great first setup. Hunting open country? The Thermion 2 LRF XG60 and Thermion 2 LRF XL60 bring a 60 mm lens. Want a wide 640 view with ranging? Try the Thermion 2 LRF XP50 PRO or the Trail 3 LRF XR50. Ask us and we'll help you match it.

Spot with a handheld, so you can look the animal over, check how far out it is and see what's behind it without pointing a rifle around the paddock. Have a look at Pulsar Thermal Monoculars: the Telos LRF XT50, Telos LRF XP50, Oryx LRF XG35 or the pocket-size Axion Compact XG35. Our Pulsar Telos needs ladder and start with a spotter guides explain how it all fits together. Then pick a Thermion or Trail with a lens to match.

Once the lens is sorted, the extras are a tube Thermion 2 or a bridge-mount Trail 3, a built-in rangefinder and ballistics, an upgradeable Telos or a pocket Axion, the two-eyed comfort of a Merger, a Krypton clip-on for the day scope you trust, APS or IPS batteries, and weight.

Every Thermion, Trail, Telos, Oryx, Axion, Merger and Krypton here is genuine Australian stock with local warranty.

Spot with a handheld — then the scope

A scope is built for the shot, so a handheld does the looking. You can check the animal, the distance and what's behind it, then bring the rifle up only when you're ready to shoot. Compare other brands on Thermal Monoculars Australia. Not sure if the rangefinder should be on your handheld or your scope? Read LRF thermal monocular Australia — when you need the laser.

35 mm: closer country

If most of your hunting happens inside 150 m (rabbits, foxes in scrub, timber edges and tight paddocks), go 35 mm. For the rifle, the Thermion 2 XQ35 PRO. For spotting, the Telos XQ35, Telos LRF XQ35, Axion XQ30 PRO, Axion Compact XQ19, or the Oryx LRF XG35 if you like to range from the handheld. To glass with both eyes up close, the Merger LRF XQ35. For foxes out around 250 m, go 50 mm instead.

50 mm+ — open country / foxes at 250 m

For picking out animals past 150 m (foxes on open paddocks, longer feral shots), go 50 mm, or 60 mm if you're shooting further still. The scope we sell most for this is the Thermion 2 LRF XG60, with a 640 sensor, 60 mm lens and rangefinder. Our Pulsar Thermion buyer's guide has the detail. The 50 mm scopes: Thermion 2 LRF XG50, Thermion 2 LRF XP50 PRO, Thermion 2 LRF XQ50 PRO, Thermion 2 XQ50 PRO, Trail 3 LRF XR50 and Trail 3 LRF XQ50. For long range in high detail: Thermion 2 LRF XL60, Thermion 2 LRF XG60 and Thermion 2 LRF XP60. Spotters to match: Telos LRF XP50, Telos XP50, Telos LRF XL50, Telos XL50, Telos LRF XT50 and Axion Compact XG35.

Thermion 2 vs Trail 3 — which body suits you

Pick the lens size first, then the body. Thermion 2 is a 30 mm tube that drops into standard rings like a day scope, with a rangefinder on the "LRF" models. Trail 3 is a bridge-mount scope with a rangefinder on every model. Neither will make a 35 mm reach 250 m foxes. More on Pulsar thermal scopes and in Thermion 2 vs Trail 3.

Telos / Axion / Oryx — Pulsar handhelds

The Telos is Pulsar's top-end handheld, and you can upgrade it later (XQ, XP, XL and XT). If your scope is a 60 mm XG60 or XL60, the 1280 Telos LRF XT50 is the one that keeps up. Our Pulsar Telos Australia guide covers the whole range. The Axion Compact is small enough that you'll actually take it out every night. The Oryx puts a rangefinder in a compact 35 mm, 640 body. The Merger lets you glass with both eyes, which is more comfortable on long nights. Want to keep the day scope you trust? The Krypton 2 XG50 clips on the front.

Pulsar Australia — FAQ

Do I need a Pulsar monocular if I already have a Thermion or Trail?

We'd recommend one. A Telos, Axion or Oryx finds the animal, then the Thermion or Trail comes up when you're ready to shoot.

35 mm or 50 mm?

It comes down to how far you shoot. Inside about 150 m, 35 mm: the Thermion XQ35 PRO, Telos XQ35, Axion XQ30 or Compact XQ19. For foxes at 250 m and anything else past 150 m, 50 mm or bigger: the Thermion XP50, XQ50, XL60, XG60 or XP60, the Trail XR50 or XQ50, and the Telos XP50, XL50 or XT50.

Thermion or Trail?

Pick the lens size first. Go Thermion 2 if you want a 30 mm tube in standard rings, or Trail 3 if you like a bridge mount with a rangefinder on every model. A Trail won't make a 35 mm reach 250 m fox country.

Telos or Axion?

It depends how you'll use it. The Telos is the top-end spotter you can upgrade later. The Axion Compact is the pocket scanner. The Oryx adds a rangefinder in a compact 35 mm, 640 body. For open country, a small 19–30 mm Axion won't have the reach of a 50 mm.

Thermion XG60 or XL60?

Both have a 60 mm lens, for foxes and ferals well past 150 m. The XG60 runs a 640 sensor and is the Thermion we sell most. The XL60 steps up to a 1024 sensor for a wider, more detailed picture through the same lens. Pair either with a 50 mm Telos so your spotter keeps up.

What should I read before buying?

Our Pulsar Thermion buyer's guide for the scope, the Pulsar Telos ladder for the handheld, and LRF thermal monoculars if you're deciding where the rangefinder should go.
