Yes, they are still expensive, and they aren\u2019t for everyone. But if you\u2019re looking for the ultimate nighttime advantage or just someone who geeks out over cool technology, a thermal scope can\u2019t be beaten.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several big storms this summer damaged our high fence resulting in an influx of feral pigs and coyotes on the property. Wanting to hit them hard, I reached out to FLIR and requested the PTS736 Thermosight Pro for this review. FLIR is one of the most recognizable names in thermal imaging technology and has been around since 1978.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Eliminate Darkness with the FLIR PTS736 Thermosight Pro - Full Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_Profile2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Eliminate Darkness with the FLIR PTS736 Thermosight Pro - Full Review\" class=\"wp-image-118425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_Profile2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_Profile2-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_Profile2-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_Profile2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_Profile2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The PTS736 has an aluminum body and weighs 2.4 lbs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest FLIR Thermosight lineup is feature-packed and powered by their new Boson core producing detailed high-quality images.

A large 75mm front lens with adjustable focus ring allows for long-range identification, in my experience, 400 + yards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Eliminate Darkness with the FLIR PTS736 Thermosight Pro - Full Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_LensShot-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Eliminate Darkness with the FLIR PTS736 Thermosight Pro - Full Review\" class=\"wp-image-118427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_LensShot-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_LensShot-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_LensShot-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_LensShot-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_LensShot.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The 75mm lens is huge and perfectly polished. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Like a kid on Christmas, I slapped some batteries in and ran outside for the first look. It was midday in June, 98 degrees and humid. These conditions are not ideal for thermal optics, but I figured it would be a good test at seeing how well it performs in sub-optimal environments. 175 yards down the street was a neighbor washing his truck. I powered on the PTS736 and, after waiting 5 seconds for initial startup, was amazed at the image quality. I could clearly identify every part of the truck and see the man and water coming from the power washer. The quality of the picture displayed on the viewfinder is far better than the picture I\u2019m showing below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Eliminate Darkness with the FLIR PTS736 Thermosight Pro - Full Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/01_TruckWash.jpg\" alt=\"Eliminate Darkness with the FLIR PTS736 Thermosight Pro - Full Review\" class=\"wp-image-118424\" width=\"1000\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/01_TruckWash.jpg 640w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/01_TruckWash-150x120.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/01_TruckWash-375x300.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Neighbor washing his truck ~175 yds. down the street. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Setup<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Eliminate Darkness with the FLIR PTS736 Thermosight Pro - Full Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_QDMount-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Eliminate Darkness with the FLIR PTS736 Thermosight Pro - Full Review\" class=\"wp-image-118428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_QDMount-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_QDMount-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_QDMount-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_QDMount-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_QDMount.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The PTS736 felt at home on my DD-M4V11.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The QD mount makes it easy and familiar to install the PTS736 on any rifle with a standard Picatinny rail.

I used a Shoot-N-C paper target with a foot warmer taped to the center. The foot warmer glows in the thermal and makes it easy for reticle adjustments. I shot an initial 3 shot group just to make sure I was on paper. Even though it was 100 + degrees outside, I could see the bullet hole briefly through the thermal. With just a few menu clicks, I adjusted the reticle to where my bullet was impacting and had completed zeroing the rifle. In order to test the multiple profile settings, I repeated the zeroing process with my second AR (7.62&#215;39). I confirmed my zero at the 200-yard mark and it was good too.

You can easily see fur on larger animals. With a 60 HZ refresh rate, the image remains smooth as you track moving targets.

This is a normal operation for thermals to produce a clear image. It\u2019s nice the PTS736 does this automatically \u2013 I\u2019ve used other (way more expensive) thermals where this had to be done manually and it can be a real pain. The optical zoom feature I found to be useful only up to 2x. The 4x zoom was too pixelated for me. But, since the PTS736 has a base power of 6x, I rarely needed to zoom in and often wanted less magnification so I could have a broader field of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" title=\"Eliminate Darkness with the FLIR PTS736 Thermosight Pro - Full Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_Porcupine-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"Eliminate Darkness with the FLIR PTS736 Thermosight Pro - Full Review\" class=\"wp-image-118447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_Porcupine-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_Porcupine-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_Porcupine-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_Porcupine-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_Porcupine.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Porcupines are some of the largest rodents in North America. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, the two trips I was able to take during my time with the PTS736 came up empty-handed. I was only able to get a porcupine at 175 yards eating from a protein feeder. It was the largest porcupine I\u2019ve ever seen and it weighed at least 20 lbs. I hunted for a total of 12 hours during my two trips and only had to change the batteries 1 time. I was able to use my external battery bank to power the PTS736 which is such a great feature in a pinch or for extended use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The internal video recorder and storage is convenient for capturing events throughout the night. You can set your preferences so it automatically records when it senses the gun was fired. Still images are captured by pressing the center button and can be used to manually record videos. The video above shows a UTV at 600 yards driving through coverage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Thermosight lineup all feature an internal compass that\nis calibrated through the setup menus. I personally never went through the calibration\nfeature, but I could see where others might find this feature beneficial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" title=\"Eliminate Darkness with the FLIR PTS736 Thermosight Pro - Full Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_BatteryPack.jpg\" alt=\"Eliminate Darkness with the FLIR PTS736 Thermosight Pro - Full Review\" class=\"wp-image-118455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_BatteryPack.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_BatteryPack-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_BatteryPack-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_BatteryPack-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Use any external battery bank to power the PTS736 for extra run time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros: <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Easy to use and setup \u2013 navigating the menus and\noperating the PTS736 is intuitive and simple. <\/li><li>60 HZ refresh rate \u2013 fast refresh rate retains\nhigh image quality.<\/li><li>Auto NUC feature- no manual calibration needed.<\/li><li>Size \u2013 surprisingly light and compact given the\nrange and effectiveness of this unit.<\/li><li>Feature packed- Internal video recording, compass,\nexternal power supply, multiple color palettes and crosshairs, digital zoom\netc. The amount of features you get at this price point is impressive.<\/li><li>Price \u2013 At $4,795 you get a serious piece of\ntech that outperforms thermals at twice the price.&nbsp; <\/li><li>No proprietary cables \u2013 standard USB-C cable\ncomes included.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" title=\"Eliminate Darkness with the FLIR PTS736 Thermosight Pro - Full Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_Focusring.jpg\" alt=\"Eliminate Darkness with the FLIR PTS736 Thermosight Pro - Full Review\" class=\"wp-image-118456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_Focusring.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_Focusring-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_Focusring-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/PTS736_Focusring-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Front focus ring.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Narrow field of view- The 6x base power produces a narrow view.

If you\u2019re looking for the ultimate nighttime hunting tool, nothing can come close to the benefits you get from hunting with a thermal.
