Any one who has not yet used thermal scopes for all types of shooting, all I can say it is a real game changer in a big way.
You must try both white hot and black hot settings for best results depending on your type of quarry.
I will also advise you to nuke it yourself rather than set them on auto nuke as this can at times ruin your photo or video when you least expect it.
I use a Thermal Pulsar rifle mounted scope and as you said..Absolutely,devastatingly Effective Period!
A few months ago at night on one of my permissions,farmer requested me to thin the rabbits down a little.
Well I got 80 - 90 all taken with my trusty 25 Fac Rapid!
I could have shot a lot more,but as it was in a sensitive area,i was under strict instruction..not to leave any lying about to be found by antis...
Oh and forgot to mention have had a hundred Foxes Last year in abouts 7 months.
This years total stands at 44 and counting...
Unfortunately our friends of the travelling community have put a stop to shooting at night for the foreseable future!
They have been trying to break into the fields and farmers put all sorts of barriers up and effectively put a stop to my night time activities...lol
Nice to hear you are enjoying the world of thermal.
Keep us updated with any video footage you take in time with yours while out in the field.
To be honest i haven't fully used all the functions it has..I'm not into filming but what the most amazing function i discovered was motion detection!!
That just blew me away as i tested it and whilst playing about,setting it to small size as i was watching with thermal via WiFi could send the live happenings sent to my iPhone and it beeped and made me aware some thing was in approaching in my arc of fire in line with a safe backstop.
It was a hedgehog scuttling about at 60 yds.because i tend to spend a good few hours just parked up in ambush points, it has alerted me to several Foxes,which were neatly accounted for..
That sounds a good bit of kit you have there.
i use a Pulsar Trail XQ50 Thermal Scope and i have WT1 75-3 Thermal Scope which is one the best Thermals scopes
and i did have a pulsar thermion xm50 thermal scope but i sold it after 8 months
as i wasn't that good / no where as good as my WT1 75-3 so it had to go
Nice to have another member on here who has thermal like me.
As we know thermal is a real game changer.
Check out my videos on our dedicated you tube channel for the forum with my thermal set up.

Haven't got a thermal scope..... but use my xq30v spotter and shoot using the pard 008 or ATN Night Arrow gen2+👍
yha i've had 3 or 4 thermal spotters over the last few years and still use my pulsar quantum xq50 spotter on my roof of the truck
and is hard wired to screen in the cab which a lot better then the moden thermals as the wifi on them is not good at all out in the field.
i have faw pards well alot more then most nv007 008 008lrf nv019 which are very good
which i also used as spotter and also have hard wired to screen in the cab which work very well and every know again my pvs14 gen3 gets a look in
