Identifies a hog at 150 yd29° apparent FOV — how big the view looks

The Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XL60 ranks #8 of 15 1280-class scopes on image: priced above the class middle without the image to match — the chart below shows scopes with more picture for the money (image 86, class median 86; $6,999.97 against $5,999). The same Lynred core sits in the Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XL50 at $4,250 — the extra $2,750 here buys the 60mm lens. At 45.9 oz it's 6 oz lighter than the class-typical scope, and the 5-year warranty follows the scope through a resale.
