The Pulsar Trail 3 LRF is a thermal riflescope with a built-in laser rangefinder in a compact, Weaver-mounted body.
The Trail 3 LRF XR50 pairs a 640×480 thermal sensor with a 50 mm, F1.0 lens, rated to detect a deer-sized animal at up to 2300 m and range targets out to 1200 m. Expect around 11 h of operation and IP67 weather sealing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Pulsar Trail 3 LRF XR50 compare with the rest of the Trail 3 LRF range?
The Trail 3 LRF line-up: Trail 3 LRF XR50 (640×480, 50 mm, F1.0, 2300 m detection, 1200 m rangefinder); Trail 3 LRF XQ50 (384×288, 50 mm, F1.0, 1800 m detection, 1200 m rangefinder). Larger lenses see further but give a narrower field of view; 640×480 and 1024×768 sensors show more detail than 384×288 at the same distance.
How far can the Trail 3 LRF XR50 see?
Pulsar rates it at 2300 m detection for a deer-sized animal — the distance at which the heat source shows on screen. Recognising what the animal is happens closer than that, and rain, fog and high humidity all shorten thermal range.
How does it mount, and what recoil can it take?
It takes Pulsar's Weaver-type mounts (Weaver N Mount Weaver SQD Mount Weaver LQD Mount), and is rated for recoil up to 6000 Joules on rifled firearms.
How long does the battery last?
Pulsar quotes around 11 h at 22 °C. Battery: LPS7i Li-ion Battery Pack / 6400 mAh DC 3.7 V (removable).
Does it connect to a phone?
Yes. It connects over Wi-Fi to Pulsar's Stream Vision 2; Stream Vision Ballistics app to stream live view, download photos and video, and update firmware.
Can I use a thermal device for hunting in Australia?
Rules on thermal and night-vision equipment differ between states and between public and private land. Check your state's hunting and firearms regulations, and the conditions of any permit or property access, before using it in the field.
