Pulsar has built a solid name with thermal hunters, and the XG60 is the long-reach end of its Thermion 2 lineup: 4x base, 32x top end, an 800m rangefinder and a 2560x2560 display. Like every Pulsar product it carries the manufacturer's warranty, and we help you work with Pulsar if you ever need to.
You can. Thermal imaging reads heat, not light, so the XG60 works at noon as well as at midnight. Daytime scanning is handy for finding bedded hogs in tall grass or checking a tree line for deer. Strong sun on rocks and open fields warms the background, so contrast can drop on hot afternoons.
LRF means laser rangefinder, built into the scope itself. On the Thermion 2 LRF XG60 it reads distances up to 800 meters, accurate to about a meter, and the scope can combine that reading with a ballistic profile from the Stream Vision app to adjust your aim point.
You don't need one, but at the distances a 4-32x scope reaches, guessing yardage at night gets hard. A built-in rangefinder gives you the number without taking your eye off the animal. If you mostly shoot hogs inside 150 yards, a scope without LRF can do the job.
