PULSAR THERMION 2 XQ35 PRO – High-Resolution Thermal Riflescope for Medium-Range Hunting

PULSAR THERMION 2 XQ35 PRO – High-Resolution Thermal Riflescope for Medium-Range Hunting

The PULSAR THERMION 2 XQ35 PRO is a premium thermal riflescope engineered for hunters, sport shooters, and professional users who demand excellent image clarity, reliable detection, and robust performance in total darkness and adverse weather. Built around a European Lynred 384×288 @ 17 µm thermal sensor (NETD <25 mK), a fast F35 / f1.0 germanium objective, and a bright 1024×768 AMOLED HD display, this scope delivers sharp, high-contrast thermal imaging out to 1,350 m.

Designed for use on rifles and shotguns up to 6,000 J recoil energy (including .375 H&H and 12-gauge), the Thermion 2 XQ35 PRO combines rugged metal construction, IPX7 waterproofing, and an extended -25°C to +50°C operating range with advanced digital features such as Picture-in-Picture, multiple reticles, and full Stream Vision 2 integration.

Who Is This Pulsar Thermal Imaging Device For?

The PULSAR THERMION 2 XQ35 PRO is particularly suitable for users who need a reliable thermal riflescope for medium- and long-range hunting in complete darkness and changing weather conditions. Its combination of a 384×288 @ 17 µm Lynred thermal sensor with NETD below 25 mK, a fast F35 / f1.0 germanium objective and 2.5–10× optical magnification with 2× and 4× digital zoom makes it a suitable choice for hunting across woodland edges, open fields, mixed terrain and mountainous areas at distances up to approximately 1,350 m for detection.

It is especially worth considering if you need a rugged, recoil-resistant riflescope with a bright 1024×768 AMOLED display, flexible reticle and zeroing options, dual-battery operation and up to 10 hours of runtime. The 50 Hz image refresh rate, Picture-in-Picture mode, Image Detail Boost, built-in recording and Stream Vision 2 connectivity make it practical for users who want both dependable field performance and digital tools for documentation, firmware updates and shot analysis.

If your priority is maximum image resolution or longer-range target identification beyond 1,350 m, a Pulsar model with a higher-resolution 640×480 or 1024×768 sensor and a larger objective lens may be a better choice. If you need precise distance measurement during observation, consider a Pulsar Thermion LRF model with an integrated laser rangefinder, such as the Thermion 2 LRF XP50 PRO or another LRF-equipped model.

Field Use and Practical Advantages

The Thermion 2 XQ35 PRO excels in real European hunting scenarios – from dawn patrols in foggy valleys to night stalking in dense brush. Its Lynred sensor and F1.0 optics deliver clear thermal images where conventional optics fail, while the 1,350 m detection range gives ample time to identify and plan. The 2.5–10× magnification and scalable reticles support both close-range driven hunts and precision shots out to 500 m and beyond.

The dual-battery system and 10-hour runtime cover full-day outings without anxiety, and the hot-swap external pack means you never have to power down mid-session. Wi‑Fi and Stream Vision 2 turn the scope into a documentation tool – record successful shots, share footage, and keep your firmware up to date from your smartphone.
