Expert Review All the bells and whistles without the crazy price tag - Pulsar Quantum HD19A 30Hz 640x480 Thermal Imaging Monocular w/ 2x Digital Zoom

Now that thermal monoculars and riflescopes are becoming more and more popular, the options available are getting even better. While I'm not 100% sure how long Pulsar has been in the thermal optics game, I can say without a doubt they know what they're doing with this Quantum HD19A model. As cliché' as it may sound, after using this exact unit on a hog hunt, it is an excellent bang for the buck.

It has a ton of features that you're looking for when using a thermal monocular as a means of spotting game. For starters, the lightweight glass filled nylon housing is surprisingly heavy duty and took several "oops" moments on my part without any sign of damage.
