The Pulsar Thermion 3 LRF XR60 is a long-range thermal riflescope designed to detect, resolve, and engage targets across expansive terrain in zero-visibility conditions. Engineered into a standard 30 mm tubular housing, the system integrates a 1,200 m laser rangefinder directly inside the optic's body to preserve standard mounting balance. Built around a 640×480 uncooled microbolometer with a 12 µm pixel pitch and high thermal sensitivity under 18 mK NETD, the unit pairs with a fast 60 mm F1.0 objective lens to provide a detection range of 2,800 m. Ballistic calculations are processed onboard via Stream Vision Ballistics, while visual output is rendered on a 2560×2560 AMOLED display with 65 mm of eye relief.

Key Features

• Internal Laser Rangefinder: Integrates a 1,200 m laser rangefinder directly within the main chassis without external receiver pods, maintaining standard scope clearance and ergonomics.

• Long-Range Optical System: Combines a 60 mm F1.0 objective lens with 4–40× variable magnification and a 7.3° angular field of view (12.8 m at 100 m).

• High-Resolution Thermal Imaging: Utilises a 640×480 sensor at a 50 Hz refresh rate with sub-18 mK NETD sensitivity to capture fine structural and heat details in harsh weather.

• Recoil-Rated Metal Housing: Rugged design rated for recoils up to 6,000 Joules, compatible with heavy calibres including .300 Winchester Magnum and .375 H&H.

• Integrated Recording & Power: Houses 128 GB of internal storage for recoil-activated media and operates up to 14 hours via a removable APS5 Li-ion battery or 5V / 9V USB-C power delivery.

Who is the Pulsar Thermion 3 LRF XR60 Thermal Riflescope for?

• Long-range feral pest controllers targeting wild dogs and pigs — benefits from an integrated 1,200 m laser rangefinder paired with a 60 mm F1.0 objective lens, allowing this thermal rifle scope to reliably calculate holds and identify pest animals past conventional visual engagement distances.

• Open-terrain deer and fox hunters shooting at distance — relies on the 640×480 microbolometer with < 18 mK thermal sensitivity and 4× base magnification to resolve critical anatomy and trophy details against ambient foliage across broad paddocks and valleys.

Less suitable for: Close-quarters hunting under 40–50 m where the native 4× magnification and narrow 7.3° field of view restrict situational awareness (a thermal rifle scope with a wider field of view and lower 1–2× base magnification fits this role better), or long walk-in carry hunts where the 1.3 kg bare weight places excessive demand on a stalking rig (a compact thermal scope or lightweight clip-on fits this role better).
