Pulsar quotes 1,350 m, 2.6× our figure, because makers usually measure against a person’s full height rather than their width. Why the numbers differ

02Pros and cons
From the published specs, not owner reports.
For it
- Ballistic calculator (you enter the range yourself)
- Swappable battery pack, so a spare doubles the run time
- 10 h of battery, 33rd-longest of 344 here
- Waterproof (IPX7), survives a dunking
- Records video and connects to a phone app
Against it
- Short 35 mm lens: a wide view, but less reach than a 50 mm scope
- No rangefinder, so you judge distance by eye
- Entry-level 384×288 sensor, with less detail than a 640
