When it comes to long-range hunting, the Thermion 2 LRF XG60 stands out as a reliable tool designed for precision and performance. “After the first night out, I knew this scope was designed for a hunter wanting to shoot at longer ranges,” shares our Australian ambassador Nathan Stuart — the creator of “Edge of the Outback”, a popular YouTube channel. Equipped with a high 4x base magnification, it offers an impressive detection range of up to 2800 meters, making it a perfect fit for hunters targeting small animals, like foxes, at extended distances, as well as for predator and pest control.
To gain deeper insight into the Thermion 2 LRF XG60’s performance, we spoke with Nathan, who has put this cutting-edge thermal scope to the test. Let’s dive deeper.

Hunter's review
Enhanced optics for comfort
Nathan emphasized how the F60 lens contributes to improved clarity, especially for longer-range shooting: “Along with the new eyepiece, the lens combination makes a great combination for comfortable shooting.” The updated Thermion 2 LRF 60 series comes with a redesigned eyepiece that adds real value in the field. With a 65 mm eye relief, it not only improves shooting comfort, but also helps prevent scope bite—especially when using high-caliber rifles. Paired with a wide-angle eyepiece optimized for high-resolution microdisplays, this design upgrade enhances overall viewing experience, making long hours behind the scope easier on the eyes.
The long-range precision
When asked about the image quality and thermal sensor performance, Nathan highlighted the device’s ability to capture clear images at impressive ranges: “If seeking a dedicated device to shoot small targets at longer ranges all the time—the XG60 is my choice,” he shared. The detection range of 2800 meters proved beneficial, even when Nathan was shooting foxes at distances of around 150 meters using the device’s base magnification. The clarity at that range, combined with the high pixel density, ensured the XG60 outperformed smaller-objective-lens devices in real-world hunting scenarios: “The 4x base magnification, lens, and sensor combination is perfect for foxes from 75–300 meters,” he shared.

Real-time responsiveness that matters
One often overlooked feature that makes a real difference in the field is the responsiveness of the display. Nathan noted the lack of noticeable latency in the Thermion 2 LRF XG60, highlighting how crucial this is when dealing with fast-moving targets: “This is very important for animals, which often move quickly or sporadically when you are shooting,” he explained. With near-instant image processing and display response, the XG60 allows hunters to react quickly and confidently—without the frustration of lag or image delay. This seamless performance can mean the difference between a missed opportunity and a successful shot.
Final thoughts
Nathan sums it up clearly: “The XG60 is specifically a device I would recommend for a hunter seeking to shoot smaller animals or longer distances regularly.”
With its solid 4x base magnification, enhanced optics, and reliable real-time performance, the Thermion 2 LRF XG60 is purpose-built for hunters who need precision at a distance. Whether you’re managing pests or tracking elusive predators, it’s a scope designed to deliver when it matters most.
