Pulsar Australia
Hunt The Night stocks the full Pulsar thermal range in Australia — premium European-engineered thermal optics built for hunting, pest control and property protection. Every unit is genuine Australian stock with full manufacturer warranty and expert pre-sale advice.
Pulsar is one of the most established names in thermal, covering every job: tube-style riflescopes that drop into standard rings, bridge-mount scopes with built-in rangefinders, pocketable scanning monoculars, twin-eyepiece binoculars for long glassing sessions, and clip-ons that turn the day scope you already trust into a thermal system. Browse by series below, or talk to our team about the right Pulsar for your setup.
A note on the numbers: a thermal's reach comes mainly from its objective lens (focal length and aperture) working with the sensor's resolution and pixel pitch — not from "sensor size" alone. A wider sensor such as a 640 gives a broader field of view and more situational awareness at a given lens; a 384 on the same lens shows a narrower, more magnified view. We'll point you to the right balance for how you hunt.

Pulsar Thermal Rifle Scopes
Thermion 2 — tube-style thermal scopes
Pulsar's classic riflescope line in a 30mm tube body that fits standard rings, so it mounts like a day scope. The range spans 384-class XQ models through 640 and 1024 XP/XG/XL/XR sensors, and the LRF versions add a built-in laser rangefinder. In stock: Thermion 2 LRF XG60, XL60, XP50 PRO, XP60, XQ50 PRO; Thermion 2 XG50, XP50 PRO, XQ35 PRO, XQ50 PRO. → Browse Thermal Scopes
Trail 3 — bridge-mount LRF scopes
Purpose-built hunting scopes with an integrated laser rangefinder on every model for fast, confident shots. The XR50 runs a 640 sensor on a 12µm pitch; the XQ50 is the 384 option for a more magnified field. In stock: Trail 3 LRF XR50, Trail 3 LRF XQ50.
Pulsar Thermal Monoculars
Telos — premium upgradeable monoculars
Pulsar's flagship handheld platform, built so the hardware can be upgraded over time rather than replaced. A balanced one-hand body for scanning and observation across the XL (1024), XP (640) and XQ (384) sensor tiers. In stock: Telos XL50, Telos XP50, Telos XQ35.
Axion / Axion Compact — pocket scanning monoculars
The smallest, most pocketable Pulsar thermals — the unit you carry for quick scanning on the move or stalking in close country. The Compact models keep weight and price down; the 384 sensors give a tighter, more magnified view while the 640 XG35 widens the scene. In stock: Axion Compact XG35, Axion Compact XQ19, Axion XQ30 PRO. Oryx LRF XG35 adds an integrated rangefinder.
Pulsar Thermal Binoculars
Merger — twin-eyepiece observation binoculars
Two eyepieces for natural depth perception and far less eye fatigue on long glassing sessions, all with a built-in rangefinder. The line runs from the 384 XQ35 up to 640, 1024 and 1280-sensor models for the widest, most detailed observation picture. In stock: Merger LRF XL50, XP50, XQ35, XT50; Symbion LRF DXT50 thermal/NV binocular.
Pulsar Thermal Clip-Ons
Krypton 2 — front clip-on attachment
Keep your day scope and your zero. The Krypton 2 mounts in front of your existing riflescope to turn it into a thermal system in seconds — ideal if you've already invested in glass you trust. In stock: Krypton 2 XG50 (640 sensor). Ring adapters available to suit common objective sizes.

Pulsar Australia — FAQ
Does Hunt The Night sell genuine Pulsar stock in Australia?
Yes. We sell genuine Australian Pulsar stock with full manufacturer warranty and expert pre-sale advice.
What's the difference between the Thermion 2 and the Trail 3?
The Thermion 2 is a 30mm-tube scope that fits standard rings, so it mounts and handles like a day scope. The Trail 3 uses a bridge mount and includes an integrated laser rangefinder on every model. Both share Pulsar's sensor tiers.
What does the XG / XP / XQ / XL naming mean?
It denotes the sensor and lens class. XQ models use a 384×288 sensor (a narrower, more magnified field at a given lens), while XP, XG, XL and XR step up to 640, 1024 or 1280 sensors for a wider field of view and more on-screen detail. An "LRF" in the name means a laser rangefinder is built in.
How far will a Pulsar thermal detect?
Each model lists its own detection figure, which is set by that unit's objective lens and sensor combination rather than by sensor size alone. Quoted ranges are ideal-condition; expect less in rain, fog or high humidity. Ask us for a realistic figure for your terrain.
Are thermal scopes legal in Australia?
Thermal and night vision optics are legal to own. Some states restrict their use for hunting on public or state land — check your state's regulations.
