Pulsar Night Vision is pleased to announce the new Themion XG50 3-24×42 thermal riflescope just in time for the fall 2020 hunting season. The night vision scope is designed to work well past 2,000 yards making it suitable for a wide range of hunting and shooting activities.
The Themion XG50 is the latest in the Themion series which also includes the XM50, XP50 and the new XQ50. According to Pulsar, the XG50 is the first thermal optic ever to incorporate built-in video recording, a rechargeable battery pack system and a cutting-edge 640×480 12-micron BAE Systems sensor in a single package.
The riflescope has a stadiametric rangefinder that can operate out to 2,400 yards and stores up to 5 ballistic profiles that can be adjusted on the fly to provide confident shooting solutions for a wide variety of firearms and cartridges. The XG50 3-24×42 is rated up to .375 H&H Magnum so it can be used with just about any platform.
And the XG50 uses common 30mm scope rings and doesn’t require any special tools or mounts to install and use. It uses simple controls and has a rapid startup function to make sure hunters don’t lose any opportunities waiting for the scope to power up.
The XG50 uses a rechargeable dual battery system with an internal and an external power supply. This lets users run on external power and switch battery packs without having to turn the scope off and back on again.
The sensor outputs to a 1024×768 AMOLED screen that supports multiple view modes and color palettes and even picture-in-picture for a wide view and a magnified view at the same time. The scope also supports onboard video recording to a 16 gigabyte drive and connects to iOS and Android devices for file management, dual viewing and even remote control.
In addition to being recoil- and shock-resistant the scope is waterproof and can be submerged under 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes without problems. Rain and snow won’t be an issue.
The retail price for the XG50 3-24×42 is expected to be around $5,999, which is competitive with other high-end night vision scopes and even competitive compared to prices just a few years back. The XG50 comes with a defective pixel repair feature, too, ensuring a long usable service life.

In addition to its smart scope features the XG50 supports a one-shot zero function and fully manual calibration modes as well. The package includes a charging kit, eyepiece and soft carry case.
While these scopes aren’t cheap they are getting more and more affordable. Pulsar’s XG50 is attainable, whether it’s for a once-in-a-lifetime hunt or for an everyday ranch or farm workhorse job.

How about making it more compact? There is no reason whatsoever for building this like a traditional rifle scope. Get rid of all the fancy crap too. I just need a compact thermal scope with a quick disconnect mount that can return to zero. I don’t need a video camera, rainbow color enhancement, weather information, time of night, instant playback, compass direction, GPS positioning, multi-gigabyte drive storage, removable cards, rechargeable internal batteries, bluetooth connections to my phone, and facetime. And make it run on cheap AA batteries that I can buy at any gas station!
$6K huh? I’ll run out and grab a case of these! This is about a 1/3 of a normal working person’s annual wages! I’ll wait another year or two, the price will probably be $500 then.
How about a base model without the video, etc on the cheaper end ? Just a good thermal scope.
Agreed. $6000 is a little rich for my budget. Maybe a good thermal sight with no recording feature?
Affirmative, if they really want to provide a “workhorse”, eliminate the bells & whistles. That would place the scope within the reach of the everyday gunner whose bank account is what it is….
