{"reviews":[{"id":6485299,"locale":"en_US","rating":4,"title":"Good option for extending thermal hunting range","text":"I want to note that my comments are made in comparison to high-end daytime optics so I'm being more critical than a comparison to just other thermal optics would warrant. Overall I'm happy with the product and think it will give me very good service and help me extend the range of my predator hunting significantly.\nPros: The 4x optical magnification coupled with the 2560x2560 high screen resolution help offset somewhat the typical digital picture degradation when using the zoom functions. I can maintain image clarity much farther than with my other 640x480 thermal resolution scope and monocular. The package comes with two APS3 external batteries and a good American Defense QD mount that keeps the scope as low as possible. The reticles available include scalable options that allow for some measure of wind holds which for me is a must for longer ranges. It is a feature which is often not available in other thermal scopes. The scope does have integrated ballistic features that are set up through an app. The scope can be used on either a bolt of AR platform. The unit communicates with your smart phone or tablet via either Bluetooth or Wifi but I think the ballistics app uses just Bluetooth.\nCons: The ballistics app is clunky compared to what I am used to and the scope does not have integrated environmental sensors. Field setting environmental information is far from ideal in a hunting setting. The manual for the ballistics app leaves a lot to be desired. The scalable reticles available have very coarse markings that limit their use far more than you'd experience with a decent daylight scope with hash marks. (Search for Pulsar Thermion reticle catalog for specifics) My laser range finder seems to have a fairly wide beam and it's not perfectly aligned with the range finder reticle. There is no means to adjust the range finder aim point to align it. Mine came with only a quick start manual. The complete manual can be downloaded online. The 4x optical base magnification results in a narrow field of view than lower magnification scopes.","textLength":2066,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":true,"autoModerated":true,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":2,"downVotes":0,"orderId":"49764532","dimensions":[{"type":1,"dimensionId":3,"dimensionLabel":"Value","id":10,"code":"VAL04","label":null,"value":4},{"type":1,"dimensionId":4,"dimensionLabel":"Durability","id":16,"code":"DUR05","label":null,"value":5},{"type":1,"dimensionId":5,"dimensionLabel":"Quality","id":21,"code":"QUAL5","label":null,"value":5}],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":null,"firstName":"Michael","lastName":"Zimmerman","emailAddress":"[email protected]","externalId":null,"city":"Riverside","state":"WA","country":"US","ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":"2025-04-15T18:08:07-04:00","purchaseDate":"2025-04-04T21:07:32-04:00","dateCreated":"2025-04-13T12:15:23-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"catalogItems":[{"sku":"810119-PL76577K","title":"Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XG60 Thermal Riflescope","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/810119-PL76577K","category":"thermal-rifle-scopes","reviewCount":1,"ratingCount":1,"averageRating":4,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":0,"4":1,"5":0},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]}],"offset":0,"limit":10,"total":1}"Full Description:\nThe Thermion 2 LRF XG60 boasts an impressive 4x base magnification with a maximum of up to 32x, providing precision and clarity for long-range shooting. With its 60mm lens, the new Thermion offers a wider field of view, enhancing situational awareness and presenting more potential target opportunities to the keen-eyed hunter. Whether spotting or engaging targets, this scope ensures unparalleled accuracy at extreme distances. The Thermion 2 LRF XG60 is capable of detecting heat signatures up to an extraordinary 3,062 yards away. With its superior optics and advanced thermal technology, the Thermion 2 LRF XG60 ensures no target goes unnoticed at extreme ranges. This makes it ideal for hunting across vast, open plains or for predator control in pastures or barren prairies, where hunters have a wide field of view.<br /><br />The Thermion 60 series’ 2560x2560 Micro-OLED display has enhanced color rendering, power saving, high contrast and quick-response, providing clear and smooth images for on-the-move observation or in cold conditions. A choice of 8 color palettes lets the users observe their field of view more effectively, allowing them to optimize the unit for specific tasks as well as react to changing observation conditions. White Hot, Black Hot and Red Hot are optimal for object detection, Rainbow and Ultramarine help increase chances for recognition & identification. Red Monochrome, Sepia and Violet are most suitable for long observation in the night.<br /><br /><strong>Included:</strong> The Thermion 2 60mm Kit includes a 30mm QD Recon Mount by American Defense Manufacturing.<br />\n\nFeatures:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>High-precision aiming in “Picture-in-Picture” Mode: The “Picture-in-picture” function enables the shooter to display a high-precision zeroing frame. Taking only 10% of the total display area, the frame shows a magnified image of the target and reticle and allows the user to see the image in the aiming area and have visual control of the entire field of view at the same time.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>10 shooting profiles / 100 zeroing distances: Zeroing settings are saved in a shooting profile. The Thermion 2’s memory contains up to 10 shooting profiles for several types of weapons or cartridges. Each profile holds up to 10 zeroing distances input manually, but can be transformed into automatic ballistic calculations based on measured distance using the Stream Vision ballistics app.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>High-Caliber Recoil Resistance: Engineered to withstand the recoil of heavy calibers, the Thermion 2 LRF is rated for 12-gauge shotguns and .375 H&H rifles, offering durability and performance under the harshest conditions.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Stream Vision 2. Wi-Fi integration with iOS and Android devices: Built-in Wi-Fi connects the Thermion 2 LRF 60 series riflescope to Android and iOS devices through the Stream Vision 2 app, enabling wireless updates, real-time image streaming, remote control, and easy sharing of photos and videos. Registered users also get 16 GB of free cloud storage for their recordings and access to the latest Pulsar updates.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\nSpecifications:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Style#: PL76577K\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sensor Resolution: 640x480 px\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Display Resolution: 2560x2560 px\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sensor NETD: <40 mK\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Magnification: 4 - 32x\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Field Of View: 7.3°\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Detection Range: 3000+ yds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Display Type: HD AMOLED\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Objective Lens: 60mm\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Battery Type: Built-in + Replaceable APS3 B-Pack\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Built-in memory: 64 GB\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Weight: 40.2 oz\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>External Power Supply: 5V (USB-C)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sensor Type: uncooled\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Pixel pitch: 12 µm\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Frame Rate: 50 Hz\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n"
