New Products: Pulsar Talion XQ35 Pro
Introduction to the Pulsar Talion XQ35 Pro
Hi everyone, Jude from Brownells here! Today, we’re taking a closer look at the Pulsar Talion XQ35 Pro, a high-performance thermal optic designed for hunters and shooters looking for precision and versatility. With features like a 2.5-10x magnification, Wi-Fi compatibility, and a lightweight magnesium alloy body, this optic is built to deliver in extreme conditions. Let’s dive into its specs and how it works.
Key Features and Thermal Resolution
The Pulsar Talion XQ35 Pro offers a 384x288 thermal resolution with a 17-micron pixel pitch, ensuring excellent image clarity. It’s designed to perform well in a variety of environments, from dense woods to open fields. One standout feature is its ND rating of 25 mK, which provides high sensitivity for detecting heat signatures, even in challenging conditions. To put it in perspective, this sensitivity makes it suitable for advanced hunting scenarios.
ND Rating and Sensitivity Settings Explained
The ND rating refers to the sensitivity of the thermal processor. At 25 mK, the Talion XQ35 Pro is significantly more sensitive than many other optics, allowing it to pick up subtle differences in heat signatures. The optic includes three sensitivity settings—normal, high, and ultra—to adapt to various environmental conditions and distances. This flexibility ensures a clear sight picture, whether you’re hunting at short range or scanning distant targets.
Durable Magnesium Alloy Body and IPX7 Waterproof Rating
Built with a magnesium alloy body, the Talion XQ35 Pro is both lightweight and durable. It’s also IPX7-rated, meaning it can withstand up to 30 minutes submerged in 1 meter of water. This rugged design ensures that the optic will perform reliably in harsh weather conditions, from heavy rain to freezing temperatures.
Battery Life and Operating Modes
The Talion XQ35 Pro boasts an impressive 9-hour battery life on a single charge, making it ideal for extended hunts or patrols. The battery is easily swappable, allowing for quick tactical reloads in the field. The optic supports multiple color palettes, including 10 reticle options and 8 thermal sweeps, giving you a range of display preferences to suit your needs.
Recoil Rating and Bullet Profiles
This optic is recoil-rated up to .375 H&H Magnum and 12-gauge, meaning it can handle powerful firearms without compromising performance. It also allows you to store up to five different bullet profiles, with 10 zeroing distances per profile. This is a fantastic feature for shooters who use multiple calibers or setups, providing versatility and precision at various ranges.
Picture-in-Picture Display for Enhanced Accuracy
One of my favorite features is the picture-in-picture (PIP) mode, which displays a magnified view of the reticle on the upper part of the screen. This mode uses only 10% of the display, allowing you to maintain situational awareness while focusing on your target. It’s a game-changer for accurate long-range shots.
Included Accessories and Tactical Reload Demo
The Talion XQ35 Pro comes with several handy accessories, including thermal targets for zeroing, a battery and charger, and a quick-release cap for the battery compartment. The battery itself is easy to remove and replace, making it perfect for long hunts where you need to swap power sources on the go. I demonstrate how to perform a tactical reload with the battery—just pop it out, replace it, and you’re back in action.
User Controls and Final Thoughts
The controls are intuitive and easy to navigate, with a power button, menu buttons, and a rotary dial for adjusting settings. The flip-up lens cap protects the objective lens, and the focus adjustment ensures a sharp sight picture for any scenario.
The Pulsar Talion XQ35 Pro is an excellent choice for hunters, tactical shooters, or anyone needing a reliable and versatile thermal optic. Its combination of durability, performance, and user-friendly features makes it a top contender in its class.
