Pulsar Trail 3 XQ50 LRF 15mK Thermal Imaging Riflescope
PRE-ORDER - FIRST SHIPMENT DUE MARCH 2026
The Pulsar Trail 3 XQ50 is a powerful yet compact thermal imaging riflescope designed to provide a thermal performance far greater than its size suggests.
With a 384×288, 17µm, <15mK sNETD thermal sensor and a 50 mm f1.0 objective lens, this riflescope will pinpoint minute heat sources hidden in foliage and shrubland without breaking a sweat. Plus, with the addition of an integrated laser rangefinder, it will even provide distance measurements for added confidence in the field.
This integrated LRF also enables accurate ballistics assistance through the Stream Vision Ballistics app.
Images used are for illustrative purposes. This model will be provided with a Weaver N Mount (not pictured).
Precision in Any Condition: Pro-grade Optics
Optimised for short- to mid-range shooting in challenging weather and low-contrast environments, the Trail 3 LRF XQ50 features a professional grade 384×288, 17µm thermal sensor and a powerful 50 mm f1.0 germanium objective lens, providing a detection range of up to 1800 m and a FOV of 7.5°.
<15mk sNETD thermal sensitivity delivers a crystal-clear thermal image in ever-changing hunting conditions, including in adverse weather conditions such as dense fog, heavy rain, and high humidity.
These thermal images are presented with astonishing clarity on the Trail 3’s Full-HD 1920×1080 AMOLED display. Through an in-built proximity sensor, this display will switch off when the device is lowered and not in use, reducing the likelihood of light bleed in the field whilst preserving the riflescope’s battery life — so you can get the most out of your hunt without worrying about losing power.
Confidence with Every Shot: Built-in Laser Rangefinder & Stream Vision Ballistics
A built-in precision laser rangefinder provides a measuring distance of up to 1200 m with an accuracy of ±1 m, providing valuable distance data and allowing you to ascertain how far away from your target you are, so you can shoot with confidence.
This LRF also provides crucial distance data when using the Trail 3 XQ50 with the Stream Vision Ballistics app. Stream Vision Ballistics uses sophisticated algorithms to provide accurate trajectory corrections and a suggested point of aim (SPOA). It can also create ammo-specific profiles, allowing you to transfer the Trail 3 from one rifle to another, without the elongated setup process. Find out more about Stream Vision Ballistics here.
Enhanced Precision: Picture-in-Picture Mode
Precision is enhanced even further through the Trail 3’s new rounded Picture-in-Picture function, providing a separate viewing section (around 10% of the screen) in the centre of the screen, allowing you to focus on a subject, zooming through the riflescope’s full 3.5-14x magnification range, whilst maintaining full situational awareness.
Adapt to Your Environment: 9 Colour Palettes
The Trail 3 offers the choice of 9 colour palettes, enabling effective observation of the field of view, each of which allow the user to adapt to changing conditions.
White Hot, Black Hot, and Red Hot are perfect for object detection; Rainbow and Ultramarine will increase recognition and identification capabilities; Sepia, Red Monochrome, and Violet are best for long, night-time observation; and the latest colour palette, Green, mimics the feel of traditional night vision, which is proven to be less stressful on the eye over long periods of observation.
Built for Professional Use: Robust Design
A robust and durable design features ambidextrous focusing knobs, making it the ideal choice for left- and right-handed shooters. Its rugged magnesium alloy bodyshell protects against the knocks and scrapes that professional users are all too familiar with during use in the field, and its IP67 protection rating ensures the Trail 3 will work reliably in challenging conditions, including heavy rain and snow. And for those venturing into unforgiving climates, it’ll even withstand extreme temperatures, remaining fully operational in -25 to +55°C.
Recoil rated at up to 6000 joules and with a robust monoblock construction, this riflescope can handle high calibre rounds without breaking a sweat. The Trail 3 can be used with 9.3×64, .30-06, .300, .375H&H, etc., as well as smooth-bore and pneumatic rifles.
More Hunting Opportunities: Up to 10 Hours of Battery Life
The Trail 3 uses a replaceable, rechargeable LPS7i battery pack, providing up to 10 hours of power and ensuring extended observation through the day and into the night. The battery compartment’s quick-release design makes it easy to swap out one battery for another, so you can keep the hunt going without fumbling around in darkness to replace the battery pack.
Built-in Video Recorder
Capture an unmissable moment during a hunt? With its built-in video recorder, the Trail 3 will capture videos with audio, along with still images, saving them directly to the generous 64GB of internal storage, or to the cloud via the Stream Vision 2 app, so you can share your experience with friends or on social media.
Stream Vision 2
A built-in Wi-Fi module enables connection to the Stream Vision 2 app, which offers a wide variety of connectivity features, including:
- The ability to use a mobile phone as a wireless remote to control the device and adjust its settings. Every change you make through the device can be seen on a smartphone or tablet screen in real-time.
- Remote recording of video footage or the capture of still images.
- A gallery of photos and videos captured on the device can be browsed through and downloaded.
- Keep your Trail 3 running at the best of its ability with remote firmware updates.
