Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XG60 Thermal Riflescope

The Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XG60 Thermal Riflescope combines long-range thermal imaging, precision distance measurement and advanced observation features in a traditional riflescope-style design. Built around a sensitive 640 × 480 thermal sensor and a 60mm F1.1 objective lens, it is designed for users who prioritise magnification and detailed thermal observation at distance.

With 4–32× magnification, an integrated laser rangefinder and a high-resolution Micro-OLED display, the XG60 brings key viewing and ranging functions together in one device. Its rugged metal housing, dual-battery system, onboard recording and ballistic calculator add practical functionality for extended outdoor use.

High-performance 640 × 480 thermal imaging

The Thermion 2 LRF XG60 features an uncooled thermal sensor with a resolution of 640 × 480 pixels and a 12μm pixel pitch. Its sensor NETD is rated below 40mK, while the system NETD is below 20mK. These specifications describe its ability to detect temperature differences and help distinguish heat signatures against their surroundings.

A 50Hz refresh rate supports smooth image updates, helping maintain a clear view when observing movement. The 60mm F1.1 germanium objective lens is designed for long-range observation, while the sensor and lens combination delivers a stated thermal detection distance of up to 2,800 metres under the manufacturer's test conditions.

Detection range is not the same as identification range. Actual performance depends on weather, background temperature, target size and other environmental factors.

60mm F1.1 lens and 4–32× magnification

The 60mm F1.1 objective lens gives the XG60 its long-range focus. With a base magnification of 4× and digital magnification up to 32×, it is suited to users who want to examine distant areas and targets.

The horizontal field of view is approximately 7.3°, equivalent to around 12.8 metres at 100 metres. This narrower view prioritises magnification and distance observation compared with thermal scopes that use shorter focal-length lenses.

The wide-angle eyepiece is optimised for the high-resolution display and provides 65mm of eye relief. This helps create a comfortable viewing position, while dioptre adjustment from -5 to 2 allows the eyepiece to be adapted to individual eyesight.

Integrated 800m laser rangefinder

The built-in laser rangefinder measures distances of up to 800 metres, with a stated accuracy of ±1 metre under suitable conditions. By integrating distance measurement into the riflescope, the XG60 eliminates the need to carry a separate rangefinder for this function.

The rangefinder uses a 905nm laser and is classified as Class 1 laser equipment. Measuring performance depends on target characteristics, visibility and environmental conditions.

The XG60 also includes a ballistic calculator, which can use configured ballistic information and ranging data to provide aiming-related calculations. Correct setup and accurate inputs are essential, and users should always verify their settings and follow applicable laws and safety requirements.

High-resolution Micro-OLED display

The Thermion 2 LRF XG60 features a 2560 × 2560 Micro-OLED display, providing a detailed image through the eyepiece. Its high resolution complements the thermal sensor and supports observation at different magnification settings.

The device includes multiple thermal colour palettes to adapt the image presentation to different scenes and viewing preferences. Image settings and amplification levels can be adjusted to suit the conditions, while the Picture-in-Picture function displays an enlarged section of the image alongside the main view.

These features help users inspect an area of interest while retaining visibility of the wider scene.

Recording, connectivity and onboard storage

The XG60 has a built-in photo and video recorder with audio, allowing observations to be saved directly to the device. Its 64GB internal memory provides room for recordings and images without requiring a separate memory card.

Recoil-activated recording and shadow recording are also supported, helping capture relevant footage in supported operating modes. Dual-band Wi-Fi supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz connectivity, while Bluetooth enables compatible wireless accessories to connect.

The Thermion 2 LRF XG60 works with Pulsar's Stream Vision 2 and Stream Vision Ballistics applications for supported connectivity, device management and ballistic functions. USB Type-C supports data transfer and external power.

Dual-battery power system

The Thermion 2 LRF XG60 uses two lithium-ion battery packs: a built-in APS5 battery and a removable APS3 battery. This arrangement allows the removable pack to be changed when required and helps extend operating time during longer sessions.

Pulsar specifies up to 11 hours of operation at 22°C with the stated battery configuration. Actual runtime varies with temperature and how intensively Wi-Fi, video recording, the laser rangefinder and other functions are used.

USB Type-C supports external power and battery charging. The device is rated to operate at temperatures from -25°C to 50°C, making it suitable for a range of outdoor conditions.

Durable housing and conventional mounting

The Thermion 2 LRF XG60 has a high-strength aluminium-alloy housing and a design that resembles a traditional daytime riflescope. It fits standard 30mm mounting rings, making it compatible with suitable mounts designed for the intended setup.

Its IPX7 rating indicates protection against water immersion under specified test conditions. The scope is rated for recoil energy up to 6,000 joules on rifled firearms, with separate manufacturer guidance for smoothbore use. Always confirm compatibility with your equipment and mounting system before use.

The riflescope also offers 10 zeroing profiles, with support for multiple distances within each profile. This helps users manage different configured setups, while the freeze-zeroing function and zoom zeroing features support the manufacturer's zeroing workflow.
