Excellent comparison. Very helpful.

Wow this type of comparison video is the best. Love it. Now i understand a few more things

excellent, just what I was looking for!

Good review

Your video helped me decide to go with Pulsar for 2x XP50 Pro, wider FOV and I use a Trail and Helion. I predator and hog hunt in wooded areas where FOV is king. Wish Pulsar would extend their warranty. If InfiRay would have had 2X I would have choose them for a longer warranty period.

Glad I could help. That is exactly what I was trying to do. Both are great scopes.

Great review. The XG 50 lrf with higher base magnification up against the bolt would be another good one.

I have another review of XG50LRF, kzread.info/dash/bejne/a5x2rMZmo5fbaJc.htmlfeature=shared ALSO the Talion XG50 that is great! Video coming soon. Short up now.

I can’t say for sure but I believe it was Hans let me know that the Pulsar has a similar incremental zoom on the side turret similar to what the Bolt has on the top turret. I did not know it before I moved the Thermion 2 Pro down the line so I can’t speak from direct experience there. I can say that the specs on paper were better for the Pulsar in regards to the thermal sensor sensitivity. I had high hopes for more detail in the image because of this but I ended up being disappointed. The specs are higher but I don’t think the algorithm as written on my firmware version from a couple months ago could keep up with that capability. The image processing actually seemed to he hamstring quite a bit because of it. I’d go out on a limb and speculate that the programmers could t keep up with the sensor capabilities and had to modify how the image is processed for reflectance. I’m very familiar with thermal operations and couldn’t find a setting that worked well to pick up my reflective target at 60yds. I ended up sending my dealer several videos trying to get help with the settings and see if Pulsar support would work with them on it. It can seem trivial to be worried about picking up a reflective target when most animals aren’t at all reflective but in addition to not providing more target definition the lack of reflective items appearing in my image was a major concern for me due to the amount of animal removals I do around livestock pens and property boundary fences. The Thermion2 Pro rarely picked up wire or chain link fencing and often showed nothing but blurred lines for cattle panels and pipe fencing etc. I feel the image on the Bolt tl50 “at the eye piece” is considerably better than the Thermion2 Pro just because of the display screen but the recorded video is pretty close as described in this review. Thank you Sir. This was a very thorough review and I appreciate your time on it

Thanks for watching and taking time to reply. The Thermion does have zoom function using the controller knob. I covered that in my Thermion 2Pro review, but the bolt has only the scroll zoom and no button you can click to quickly double the magnification each click. The NETD rating or heat separation as I call it, is a little better on the Pulsar. Not only in the background image but for targets. On one hunt I could clearly see see coyotes moving in trees about 400 yds away with my Helion scanner and could not see them with the Bolt, even though the overall image was excellent. As far as reflection, I think it has a lot to do with angle. If you look directly into a window you can see your refection, but you look at it from an angle you will not, like looking into a mirror. Reflection matters more in sunlight than at night. If a wire is the same temp as the background at night, you will not see it. Too, there is the base magnification. A wire may be more visible in the Bolt with the 3.5X at the same distance than 2X Thermion because it just appears larger. In videos, images appear closer with scopes with narrow fields of view when the image is stretched across a 16x9 computer screen. I did a side by side comparison of two Pulsar 2.5x scopes. They look exactly the same magnification through the scopes but one had a much wider FOV so in the video one looked to have more magnification. Thanks for your comments. I will study the reflection a little in the field. Thanks

Nice comparison. For me is interesting when you zoom wich device performs better? It should be iray, because native mag is higher

Why oh why doesn't anyone include range when showing images through scope???

On some of our scope and scanner reviews we have taken our dog out to 100 and 200 yards for reference. Do you think that is helpful? We compared pulsar XG50LRF and the XP50 side by side at measured distances.

Where did you get the bell leaver on the xp?

Is the internal battery on the infray bolt replaceable when it begins to weaken/fail

Yes but you have to send it back to IrayUSA in Texas
