Even the most advanced thermal scope can only perform as well as it is set up. From mounting and focus to calibration, image settings, and zeroing, every adjustment plays a role in maintaining accuracy and confidence in the field.

Pulsar experts Stefan Orman and Vilius Ūksas break down the complete setup process, explaining how to configure your scope for real hunting conditions, verify your zero, and adapt the image as thermal contrast changes.

“What gear do you pack for wild boar damage control?” It is a question Pulsar ambassador Stefan Orman gets asked constantly, so today he is laying it all out. When success relies on swift management in unpredictable terrain, every piece of gear has to earn its spot.

Stefan’s core strategy relies on a layered optics setup:
🔵 Symbion LRF DXR50: His primary multispectral binoculars for long-range target identification and precision laser ranging.
🔵 Axion XQ30 Pro Compact: A compact, wide-FOV thermal spotter for rapid, close-range scanning.
🔵 Krypton 2 XG50: A thermal clip-on paired with a dedicated remote control for quick adaptation in the field.

Alongside this optical trio, Stefan also finds space in his bag for specialized tools such as a weather station, hands-free image intensifiers, power banks, and an essential first-aid kit. Because when you are out in the field, being fully prepared means zero guesswork.

This August, Pulsar is heading to events across Australia and Croatia.

If you’re nearby, don’t miss the chance to meet the team, explore the Pulsar lineup, and try our devices in person. See you there!

Long-range observation often means balancing several tasks at once: keeping the image steady, confirming what you are seeing, judging distance, and staying on the scene long enough to make a confident decision.

The Symbion LRF series brings those steps into one multispectral binocular platform. Swipe to see how its features work together to create the best hunting experience.

When you increase digital zoom — going from base magnification to twice that — you cut resolution in half in both width and height, leaving a quarter of the original resolution.

While zooming in digital thermal won't add extra surface detail, bringing the target closer is crucial for precise shot placement.

With the new Pulsar Trail 3, controlling this zoom is smoother than ever. Instead of searching for buttons, the physical Zoom Ring on the eyepiece gives you instant, intuitive control to fine-tune your sight picture right when it matters most.

Long-range performance depends on more than one specification. It comes from the way optics, display technology, and viewing ergonomics work together to preserve detail and comfort at extended distances.

Across the Thermion 2 LRF 60 series, the 60 mm F/1.1 objective lens captures more thermal information, while the 2560 × 2560 micro-OLED display keeps the image and interface crisp and easy to read. The 65 mm eye relief completes the system with a comfortable full-screen view and additional safety when using high-recoil calibers.

“Hunting doesn’t begin with the shot — it begins with observation. The better you see and understand your surroundings, the less room there is for rushed decisions,” says Pulsar ambassador Rugilė Šimulytė-Spudienė, perfectly capturing the fundamental value of ethical hunting.

As she explains, “During the roe buck season, patience is everything. Before taking a shot, it’s important to properly assess the animal — its age, antlers, and behaviour. The Pulsar Symbion DXR50 makes this process easier. The thermal channel helps detect what the naked eye might miss, while the digital channel allows for a detailed evaluation before making a decision.”

This multispectral technology seamlessly extends your vision to support your hunting instincts. Because as Rugilė reminds us, “The more you see, the fewer mistakes you make. And that’s where responsible hunting begins.”

Hunting at extended ranges leaves no room for guesswork. The Trail 3 series features an onboard ballistic calculator paired with a precise laser rangefinder, giving you real-time aiming corrections instantly on your display.
