Thread: Sytong Thermal Monocular Comparisons

Also feel free to drop down and test any of our Sytong products. Bring other gear for comparisons. We’ve had customers turn up with HIK, pulsar, pard.

After checking your website, the sensor is the same, and your unit is $400 more expensive.

Flick me a message if you want to have a look at it. I live just on the outskirts of palmy/hiwinui

Oh nice, cheers for the offer i'll keep that in mind

Pard NZ website: TA32LRF specs: Sub 35 NETD, 1000m LRF
Sytong XS03 specs: Sub 30 NETD, 1200m LRF

Sytong is better spec'd and we offer a discount to forum members.

How much could you do the Sytong XS03-25LRF for?

we'd take a couple hundred off for forum members

i have the sytong handheld 25 model with lrf and use the sytong ht-88 clip on night vision... it is responsible for so many kills on rabbits, possums, pigs and deer... i cant recommend it enough! for thermal i think LRF is a must also!

Lrf is certainly desirable but a thermal scope with a proper mil dot reticle is a good alternative if your familiar with using one for range estimation.
When my pulsar finally dies ( xq 28) finally dies I'll be upgrading for sure but it's being going since 2018 with just a change of batteries. Rubbish definition compared to the new stuff but you learn shapes etc

Anyone down south been using these in the matagouri/briar scrub country we know and love down here? Any success

Yes. Wallaby and deer. It’s actually easier to get images through matagouri/briar than NI bush and scrub.
I was using a sytong xso6 35mm. Great little unit.

How far away was the deer in the other thread @Tahr?

The dead one? About 250 yards. Or are you talking about another pic? There are a few of them.

Was the dead one, how do they look at 3-400? looking at an XM06 scope in the next couple of weeks

That dead one was on 1x base mag.

This is 320 yds on 1 x base mag (with a 50mm Sytong spotter) in drizzle.
