Quick-change rechargeable battery
For power, Trail 3 LRF is equipped with the quick-change, long-life Pulsar LPS7i rechargeable battery pack. The modular battery design allows the pack to be replaced in seconds in the field, ensuring uninterrupted operation during extended use. The battery can be conveniently recharged either inside the device or separately via the integrated USB Type-C port, providing flexible charging options from power banks, vehicle outlets, or standard chargers.
10 shooting profiles / 100 zeroing distances
Zeroing settings are saved in a shooting profile. The Trail 3's memory contains up to 10 shooting profiles for several types of weapons or cartridges. Each profile holds up to 10 zeroing distances input manually, but can be transformed into automatic ballistic calculations based on measured distance using the Stream Vision ballistics app.
High-Caliber Recoil Resistance
Trail 3 LRF is designed for use with high-caliber firearms generating muzzle energy of up to 6000 J. The reinforced housing and recoil-resistant internal architecture ensure reliable performance on heavy-recoiling rifles and magnum calibers. The sight maintains zero stability and internal integrity under repeated recoil, delivering consistent point-of-impact and repeatable accuracy shot after shot.
Automatic Display Deactivation
An integrated proximity sensor in the eyepiece automatically detects when the riflescope is not in use, switching off the display to prevent backlight exposure and reduce power consumption.
Bilateral Focusing Mechanism
Focusing wheels are positioned on both sides of the riflescope to provide comfortable operation for both right- and left-handed users. Each wheel is equipped with an integrated lever, ensuring improved grip and precise, effortless focusing even when wearing gloves.
Stream Vision 2. Wi-Fi integration with iOS and Android devices
Built-in Wi-Fi connects the Trail 3 series riflescope to Android and iOS devices through the Stream Vision 2 app, enabling wireless updates, real-time image streaming, remote control, and easy sharing of photos and videos. Registered users also get 16 GB of free cloud storage for their recordings and access to the latest Pulsar updates.
Operation in extreme temperatures -25 to +50°C
The housing, power unit, optics and electronic components of the Trail 3 are designed to operate in a wide range of temperatures and adverse environmental conditions. The Trail 3 ensures reliable and effective performance in freezing cold up to -25°C.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Pulsar Trail 3 LRF XQ50 a good thermal scope?
It is built for hunters who need detail when thermal contrast is low. The 384x288 sensor carries a system NETD under 15 mK, viewed on a 1920x1080 AMOLED display, and the built-in rangefinder reads out to 1200 m. Add 3.5x to 14x magnification, recoil rating to 6000 J and up to 10 hours from the quick-change battery.
Where are Pulsar thermal scopes made?
Pulsar is a European brand, and its thermal optics are designed and built in Lithuania. Like other brands we sell, the Trail 3 LRF XQ50 is covered by Pulsar's manufacturer warranty, and we help you reach Pulsar if you ever need service. Registered users also get 16 GB of free cloud storage in the Stream Vision 2 app.
Should I buy night vision or thermal for the Trail 3 class of hunting?
For finding and shooting animals in the dark, thermal is usually the better buy. It shows body heat against wet grass and cold ground, where night vision depends on available or IR light. The Trail 3 LRF XQ50 adds a rangefinder and automatic ballistic holds through the app, which night vision scopes in this class rarely match.
Can you hunt deer at night with the Trail 3 LRF?
That depends on your state, and most prohibit hunting deer after dark. Where night predator and hog hunting is open, a scope like this is right at home. Pulsar rates detection at 1800 m, and the proximity sensor turns the display off when your eye leaves the eyepiece so screen glow doesn't give you away.
