It’s a great scope one of the best in the 384 class and they are on sale till the end of the month. If I can help you out just let me know and I can get you fixed up

@@texaspredatorhoghunting1776 I sure will. Thanks

Thanks man. It’s already out but that hasn’t been many available yet. The only difference is the new one has audio other than that it’s exactly the same as the original

@@texaspredatorhoghunting1776 I thought I read somewhere that the sensor on the new 50mm was improved somewhat for slightly better resolution. I could be wrong.

@@terrymaggio1693 if it is it’s not really noticeable. The image is already extremely good. All that scope was lacking is audio

Your T2 XQ50 Pro can't match the clarity of the Bolt T35?? The Thermion 2 XQ50 Pro is suppose to have a slightly better image than the T35.

Been thermal hunting since 2016. Have logged close to 500+ nights in the field. Had my first hunt with the tl35 v2 bolt, last night and was out for 5 hours. I was shocked at how good my image was. Seriously, it is fantastic. I had my backup rifle with me-a thor 4 640, and there was no comparison. the iray is amazing. Had a good bit of humidity last night before a cool front hit Texas. I was identifying hogs and deer and several owls out to roughly 1500 yards which was the max of the property I was hunting. The actual animal image at 500 + will have a slight pixelation, but if you are experienced under a thermal, it is not difficult to determine a hog, deer, calf, or coyote. I will say that with hogs at 600-800 yds, I felt very capable of making a shot based on the clarity of the image. Never had that good of an image ever before to think I could pull a shot off. Not that I was prepared or would want to take a shot at that distance, but I was zooming in to 9x or having picture in picture mode, and had a good enough image to make a shot. I turned the thor 4 on and it was crap-couldn't even pick up signatures that the iray was easily showing me. I also have a n older IR Defense MKII hunter with a bae core and 640 resolution. I think this iray outperforms both. I hate to say it, but while I am considering the new Pulsar 1024 scope for another rifle, I am heavily thinking about another iray model that can give me a lower base power than the Bolt. That is the only drawback is the 3.0x is somewhat challenging when you need to view something within 20-40 yds of you (in my case, it was a suspected hog along a dry creek bed that surprised me, where I was set up on a large row crop field) . Regardless, If you are considering any thermal as your first or entry level, this is all you need, and then some. And the price point for what you get is a damn good deal. Time will tell how it will hold up with usage

Both are great scopes just kinda depends on what style of gun you’ll be using

This will be plenty of scope for what your wanting

I should have clarified actually that its rats and mice i will be shooting, will they be clearly distinguishable? My friends is very difficult to see what he is shooting at (just a red blob on his scope) so could be a hedgehog or similar?@@texaspredatorhoghunting1776

The v2 was released about a year ago

@@texaspredatorhoghunting1776 Would you consider getting the Th35 v2 over the Tl35 v2 or is not worth the extra cost? Plus are you able to record video with audio on the Th35 v2?

It’s don’t get that cold in Texas that often so I couldn’t say for sure about that. I’ve ran them in the 20s and they work just fine

Weather conditions will make a huge difference in the image quality
