Essex foxshooter Robert Bucknell has got his hands on the latest thermal kit from Pulsar – the Telos XP50 monocular, and the binocular Merger, both with a built-in laser rangefinder. Robert and his gamekeeper, John, have been giving the units a thorough test in the field. John, who shoots 100 foxes a year with his .204 Ruger and Pulsar Thermion scope, is so impressed with the Telos that he doesn’t want to give it back.
