Just wondering on people's thoughts and experiences using the Pulsar XQ50 thermal.
Seriously looking at buying one to mount on a Tikka 243w.

Cheers Bob

I think you should buy it Bob. Then send it to me for inspection.

Best bet would be checking out some night vision groups on Facebook (if your on there).
There’s a few YouTube clips as well.
As a last resort though I’m happy to review yours after you pick it up (obviously Kicken is first in line).

Thanks for the offer of the free review service guys .
I might just hold onto it and just post pictures of my thermal smile and see what you think..
Going to be a big learning curve but I'm looking forward to it like a fat kid in a candy store.

You’ll need someone to hold onto it while your thermal smile photo is taken... lol

It seems like I have no shortage of volunteers.

i had.one.. to much going on and had problems with poi.
so have changed it to a apex 50 with lrf..

apex

I have the Apex also (75) as well as an ATN Thor. I regret not buying them sooner and not getting to use them enough.
There was a lot of chatter about the new Pulsar and ATN thermals becoming cheaper as technology advances. Well they haven't. The XQ i know nothing about other than what i have read. Read some reviews where oddly they compare the image to the Apex which appears to be a standard other units are often compared to. If they are as good as the reviews say, then the unit should be brilliant. You wont regret it.

Fair point.

Thanks for the opinions guys.
The scope is ordered and all going well will be mounted on a new Tikka T3 lite in 243.
Looking forward to playing with my new toy.

Works for Mossberg.

Mind you I don't think it looks that bad. Afterall, it will be used in the dark.
