Thread: Thermal imagers/scopes

I have tried nearly all the Thermal Pulsar units thus far (handhelds)
Started with the old XQ38 in 2016 (or was it 15??
Up to the Accolade Rangefinder model a few months ago (look like a Bino so use two eyes)
The cheapest unit was the XQ30 V Lite and could locate out to 800m - mate on farm has it now and he reckons he has seen Deer out to near 2K
But the later model XQ and XP - out to 1000m no problem. Way more than needed put it that way.
I have never had the luxury of using in wide open terrain or farm land - my terrain is restricted and hence I find some of the units starting magnification too high for me
My top choice was the Helion XP28 - starting mag of 1.4x (think that’s correct - but the lowest of them all) this gives a greater FOV so when not in so open country you are not waving it around looking so much and getting a fright when a Deer is like 50m away and with the XP50 looks like a bloody glowing white Elephant in front of you
