Pulsar XP50
I have wanted to purchase a thermal imaging sight for a number of years and finally decided it was time to get one. After much research, and a recommendation, I looked into the Pulsar products and found the XP50 to be the best choice. I was mostly concerned with having an item that I could clearly...

Does not hold zero!
I am very disappointed with this scope. I can't understand why it won't hold zero?! I take out to the range and sight it in just fine, nice groups and all but then I go on a hunt next weekend I can't hit a darn thing! Pulsar customer support only gives me excuses and tells me I am not zeroing the sc...

Will not hold zero
Continue to miss easy shots because it won't hold a consistent zero. I shot and adjusted zero every three days for nine days. Each time tested, the impact group had shifted from zero.
Pros:
- good battery life
Cons:
- can't hit the target
Best Used for:
- Hand held scanning
Would recommend: No
Not so happy
I’ve owned my XP50 for just over 2 years and really like the features and options. But I have a big issue with the scope. The problem is I can sight it in and works great. Use it a time or two then find it to be way off. For example I sighted it in last week and was shooting groups in the 1”- 1.5” range. Today I went out and now it’s shooting 3 feet to the right. This is a common issue and is a problem on both AR’s I’ve tried it on. Been in for service once and guess I’ll send it in again next week. Very disappointed.

Will not hold zero
I bought the xq 50 Trail and the xq 38 Helion. I like everything about the optics except for the Trail will not hold zero! I believe that temperature fluctuation is moving the innards of the scope. I contacted them and told them of my problem. They instructed me to sent the scope back to them. They sent me another xq50 Trail and I had the same problem with the replacement scope. They won't give me my money back. So now I am stuck with a useless thermal scope.
I live in ND. I am hunting typically in temperatures from zero to 40 degrees. I can zero this scope before I go hunting, and an hour of two later, can't hit the broadside of a coyote at 50 yds.
should have bit the bullet and bought a trijicon

Awesome Scope!
Pulsar has stepped up their thermal imaging game! This model scope with the new updates have the image quality looking comparable to the very high end companies while keeping the affordable price point and multitude of additional features. Rechargeable battery will last all night without turning the device on and the onboard recording is great for studying your shot placement! We hunt 30,000 acres for pest control services and pulsar is all we run. Great image quality great dependability and great customer service!
Pros:
- Price
- rugged
- image quality
- Customer service
- wide field of view
- Rechargable battery
- onboard recording
- picture in picture zoom
Cons:
- Heavier than other models
Best Used for:
- night hunting
- shooting
- Spotting
- Day hunting
- Tracking
- All kinds of hunting
Would recommend: Yes
Awesome Thermal
I've use this scope since 2018 with ZERO issues. Awesome clarity and easy to use. No Issues that have been listed on some of the other reviews.
Battery packs are great and will last several hunts. I use day and night without any issues. Mine has no problem holding zero and is very accurate and I love the one shot zero!

now discontinued due to problems
I purchased this scope October 2019. After initial setup it was stored in my safe for a few weeks. When I eventually took it out to mount it it would not turn on even though the battery was fully charged. I was told by Pulsar to ship it to Texas for repair which I did. After a month I was contacted and told the scope was deemed irrepairable and I would be sent a new one. Then, a few weeks later I was contacted again and told this scope was no longer available due to numerous issues and I was offered the Pulsar Thermion XP50 in exchange which is supposed to be shipped sometime next week. So, apparently this scope is no longer in production according to the certified repair location in Texas due to many issues with it.
Pros:
- None
Cons:
- expensive, broke after setup
Best Used for:
- paper weight
Would recommend: No

Amazing Quality
This thermal scope has everything you could want. Exceptional identification range, great clarity, and many features. This is the perfect scope for identifying objects day or night. It picks up on the smallest things from birds to small rodents. I even use it for looking for my dogs in my wooded lot when I let them out at night. The one negative feature is that it only includes black hot and white hot. Although this is not a problem in most hunting or identification purposes, it does have a drawback of degree of heat identification. I am an electrical contractor and this could be used to identify overheating circuits but there is no ability to distinguish heat levels easily.
Pros:
- amazing clarity
Cons:
- Only black and white hot color options
Best Used for:
- Identification and rifle hunting
Would recommend: Yes

Does not hold zero!
Title says it all and disqualifies it as an option for a weapon mounted sight. Like the other review state's: it's a paper weight. I have lots of other complaints but there is no point explaining when the scope can't be used. Beware this issue is not fixed. Pulsar claimed the flaw was repaired with a firmware update but that is not true.
Pros:
- None
Cons:
- will not hold zero
Best Used for:
- paper weight
Would recommend: No
