The Pulsar Pulsar Thermion 2 Pro LRF Series, comprising the Thermion 2 LRF XP50 Pro and Thermion 2 LRF XQ50 Pro, is one of the most respected thermal riflescope platforms currently available for Australian hunters, pest controllers, and long-range night shooting enthusiasts.
Combining advanced thermal imaging technology, integrated laser rangefinding, ballistic calculation support, and traditional riflescope ergonomics, the Thermion 2 Pro LRF range has become a benchmark for premium thermal hunting optics in Australia.
Designed for real-world use across Australian farmland, open paddocks, dense bushland, and remote rural properties, these thermal scopes deliver exceptional image clarity, accurate target detection, and reliable long-range performance in difficult environmental conditions.
The Pulsar Thermion 2 Pro LRF Series includes two high-performance thermal riflescopes:
| Model | Best For | Key Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Thermion 2 LRF XP50 Pro | Premium image quality & long-range detection | 640×480 HD thermal sensor |
| Thermion 2 LRF XQ50 Pro | Mid-range hunting & value performance | 384×288 HD sensor gives an excellent balance of price and performance |
Both models feature:
The Thermion 2 Pro LRF Series was designed to provide serious hunters with a thermal riflescope platform capable of performing across a wide variety of Australian hunting and pest control environments.
Australia presents unique challenges for thermal hunting equipment:
The Thermion 2 Pro LRF Series has become popular in Australia because it addresses these challenges directly.
The XP50 Pro and XQ50 Pro are highly effective for:
Their combination of long-range thermal detection, integrated ranging capability, and high image quality makes them extremely practical for Australian landowners and hunters.
The Thermion 2 LRF XP50 Pro is the flagship model in the Pro LRF lineup.
It uses a high-resolution 640×480 thermal sensor paired with a 50mm F1.0 germanium objective lens to deliver exceptional image quality and long-range target identification.
The XP50 Pro is particularly effective for long-range fox shooting and precision pest control where image detail and target recognition are critical.
The Thermion 2 LRF XQ50 Pro provides many of the premium features of the XP50 Pro but with a lower-resolution thermal sensor designed to deliver a more affordable entry into high-quality thermal shooting.
The XQ50 Pro is extremely popular among Australian hunters who want reliable thermal performance without moving into ultra-premium pricing territory.
The biggest difference between the two models is thermal sensor resolution.
| Feature | XP50 Pro | XQ50 Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor Resolution | 640×480 | 384×288 |
| Base Magnification | 2x | 3x |
| Max Magnification | 16x | 12x |
| Field of View | Wider | Narrower |
| Image Detail | Higher | Moderate |
| Long-Range Identification | Superior | Good |
| Best Use | Premium long-range shooting | Mid-range versatility |
The XP50 Pro produces noticeably more image detail, especially at longer distances and higher magnification levels.
This becomes particularly important when identifying smaller animals such as foxes in Australian paddocks at extended ranges.
The XQ50 Pro still performs extremely well, but the XP50 Pro provides greater clarity and target recognition capability overall.
One of the strongest aspects of the Thermion 2 Pro LRF Series is image quality.
Both models feature:
This helps identify targets more clearly in:
Pulsar’s image algorithms help deliver:
The AMOLED display system provides:
These features combine to produce a highly usable thermal image in real Australian hunting conditions.
One of the biggest advantages of the Thermion 2 Pro LRF Series is the built-in laser rangefinder.
Thermal hunting can distort depth perception at night, making distance estimation difficult.
The integrated LRF solves this problem by allowing instant and accurate target distance measurement.
For Australian hunters shooting across large open paddocks or uneven terrain, this significantly improves shot confidence and ethical shot placement.
The Thermion 2 Pro LRF models also support advanced ballistic functionality through the Stream Vision Ballistics App.
This effectively turns the riflescope into a complete thermal shooting system rather than just a thermal optic.
Many experienced thermal shooters consider the LRF + ballistic combination one of the biggest advantages of the Pulsar ecosystem.
Australian hunters often spend long nights in the field, making battery reliability extremely important.
The Thermion 2 Pro LRF Series includes:
This allows all-night operation during extended pest control sessions.
Unlike bulky tactical thermal optics, the Thermion 2 Pro LRF models retain a classic riflescope appearance.
This makes the Thermion platform particularly attractive to Australian hunters transitioning from conventional daytime optics.
For many serious Australian thermal hunters, yes.
If long-range fox shooting and maximum image quality are priorities, the XP50 Pro is usually the better investment.
Absolutely.
The XQ50 Pro remains one of the best value thermal riflescopes in its class.
It delivers:
For many Australian pest controllers and landowners, it provides more than enough performance for practical hunting distances.
Many thermal hunting users report that the XP50 Pro provides noticeably better clarity than earlier XQ-based systems when viewed side-by-side. Some users also specifically praise the ballistic calculator integration and integrated LRF functionality for improving long-range accuracy.
Both models can detect heat signatures at distances up to approximately 1800 metres depending on conditions and target size.
The XP50 Pro uses a higher-resolution 640×480 thermal sensor for superior image detail, while the XQ50 Pro uses a 384×288 sensor for a more affordable price point.
Yes. Both models are highly effective for fox control across farmland and open paddock environments.
Yes. Both models feature an integrated laser rangefinder with approximately 800m measuring capability.
Yes. When properly configured, the ballistic calculator can significantly improve shot accuracy at varying distances.
Yes. The Thermion 2 Pro LRF Series is designed for harsh outdoor use and features waterproof construction and strong thermal sensitivity.
The Pulsar Pulsar Thermion 2 Pro LRF Series remains one of the best premium thermal riflescope systems available in Australia.
The XP50 Pro delivers elite-level image quality and long-range performance for serious hunters demanding maximum capability, while the XQ50 Pro offers excellent real-world thermal hunting performance at a more accessible price point.
For Australian hunters, landowners, and professional pest controllers wanting:
the Thermion 2 Pro LRF Series is one of the strongest thermal platforms currently available.
With the launch of its newest thermal imaging devices, Pulsar has started to use the term sNETD, or “System NETD.” All the Pulsar thermal product specifications will now show both NETD and sNETD. But what does this term mean? We have put together a easy to understand blog post to explain in simple terms HERE.

Craig Borawl –
Fantastic service. Dave communicated with me through each stage of what was (for me) an expensive investment in technology. Before finding “After Dark” I had tried a number of different providers and can unequivocally state that there was no comparison. Very reliable and very trustworthy.
For those sitting on the fence i can absolutely recommend the Pulsar Thermion 2 Pro LRF, its a game changer for me when shooting at night on the farm.
