Of those two, the flir will give you slightly better image(my opinion, not scientific fact)
The pulsar will offer WAY better customer support, if needed. Supposedly they’re using the standard black/white screen now . That’s a plus over the green(also opinion, not scientific fact) |

I'd go larger on the pulsar to 50 range. I can't help with the Flir, but everyone I know that has them are fairly happy compared to people who have purchased the lower scale ATN's. Yet I've stacked a lot of pork with my old ATN Gen1+ NV. Good luck!

I've owned both. I'd buy the RXQ again but not the Flir. Too many customer service horror stories. Plusar makes life so easy. These things are basically video cameras with reticles inside. They end up needing service.

PIP is awesome once you get used to it. Switch to the large screen for up close and moving shots, then look at the PIP for the further shots once they’re getting away.

I just read that the rxq30v new models went back to the black/white screen instead of the green. I am also looking at the new thermion xm30 which is a little more than I wanted to spend but might be able to make it work in the budget.

A friendly psa, I just picked up a Pulsar xp50 from a known seller on this site. The optic I recieved was used ( very obviously) and repackaged as new. The box I recieved looked like it had been manhandled ALOT to the point I was suspicious before opening, the owners manual had creased pages, witness marks on the base from being mounted, etc. There is a thread on another forum that an alleged pulsar employee claims they resell warranty Returns as new in certain circumstances. I'm not going to mention the seller pending a resolution, just throwing this out there if you're considering a Pulsar
( which is a great product) |

Pulsar does sell “refurbished “ that’s not a secret. Was is a secret is some “dealers” ordering those, at a discount, and passing them off as new . There’s a pretty good mark up as is, but if they can make a couple hundred extra off of you.... I’m sure somebody will say “ buy from a reputable dealer” , there’s plenty of “well known dealers “that do it . I can go on for days about this kind of stuff. Next time somebody trying to flex their superior knowledge on the subject will selling you something, ask them how many pigs/coyotes they killed last week.
To the guy above. Sending you a pm Eta.... you should post your experiences in the NV forum, and every other forum you can find . Name seller in public, and your problem will quickly be resolved . To be clear I’m operating under assumption you bought “new” and got shipped refurbished, exactly as you described. |

Call it what you want, I dont buy used optics .Period.
I'm giving the seller the benefit of the doubt that 1; they did not open the package, so it was not noticed as being used 2; the person that packed it for shipping was blind and mentally challenged, therefore didn't notice the box was fucking hammered and had been folded/unfolded enough times that the printing had worn off and the corners were worn through. ETA, pm received, thank you for reaching out. |

You can go through pulsar/sellmark directly, or you can go through a dealer of your choice.

I just got the RXQ 30 after the same sole searching. I decided that the customer service was the clincher. I really wanted a way to offload the video, but in the end the PIP function trumped that feature.
It's like having a zoom and full screen at the same time. The green is not bad, and does really help with limiting the shock of switching back and forth in light. |

I'm pretty happy with my PTS736 as far as the hardware and performance in the field. My biggest complaint is lack of customer service. It's almost impossible to get firmware updates via FLIR and I've had to go through people who were lucky enough to contact someone at FLIR to get the files. At this point, I've given up trying to contact FLIR directly for anything as there has been no response to any email or voicemail going on months.

Still liking the Pulsar? It's about in the price range I'm looking for and there don't seem to be many other options.
