Thermal scopes comparison thread - what do you have and what do you like/dislike?

[Philb]

Hi, I have a couple of pulsars, keen to get something like the new duo. Something I can use day and night and day view is like a conventional scope. Has anyone had any experience with the duo ? Does any other brands make similar ? Cheers

I re-sighted in my SYTONG XM03-50LRF thermal today after having it off the rifle (Rem M7 .223). What an amazing thing.

Too easy. The freeze frame zeroing took me to 1" inch high and dead centre. Two "clicks" down and it was spot on.

I did this at 1pm in the sun using a heat pad as a target (the red dot means nothing). 100 yards. I then tested it on the 513 yard gong using the LRF and got 2 hits from 2. The steel gong was a bit indistinct in the sun but good enough to identify as a round steel disc. Love 'em or hate 'em, these are amazing devices.

Pic: I was using the top edge of the heat pad as the vertical aiming point. You can see the 2 shots that I adjusted 2 electronic "clicks" down from, and then the last shot absolutely dead on. 74 grn Targex, 2950 fps.

i had a pulsar hd38s viewer and it was the shizzle in its day . replaced it with a conotech tracer lrf35 and its been awesome .big step up. also have a burris bts30 on a 22 and a bts50 on a 223 . both very good for a basic rifle thermal . a mate has a hikmicro thermal scope on his rifle , not sure exact model but think thunder 35mm .its better imo than either of my burris ones. better quality picture and detail . would be keen to try out the new pard or sytong ones for a comparison . hint hint ian lol

i have the conotech as well, and want to try out the Sytong Scope, its supposed to be great performance for cost, if you get to try one let me know how it goes

havent tried the sytong but have bought a couple of hikmicros recently , and they are the shizzle . have a gryphon gq50l 50mm handheld and a pq50l . hindsight the gryphon 35mm would have been fine . have spotted deer at about 2km on both of them . have even been able to tell the diff between red and fallow at a 1 km with the gryphon . both make my conotech and burris thermals so last year lol
