The Thermion XP50 640x480 @ 17 µm (older model XP50 Trail equivalent) definitely has piqued my interest! I love how they fit standard rings as the old QD mount for the trails weren't very reliable and had some reports of POI shift, so I think this might solve that issue. The standard rings and traditional scope body will help a lot when mounting it on standard rifles from .22s to higher caliber bolt guns. I saw a review at Shot Show where they gave an actual down the scope view and the resolution was very crisp and nice. It actually has an internal battery like a cell phone, and also a RECHARGEABLE hot swap battery that is actually the elevation knob, very nice versus buying a lot of CR123 batteries. The windage knob also houses the USB plug for video download as well as charging while it is on, which opens it up to the already available rail mountable extended battery packs. It also has a dual (two at a time) hot-swap external battery (elevation turret) charger, could hook it up in the truck (field conditions or hunting). Overall looks like a winner to me, the stadium lines and game (animal) ranging capability are actually pretty nice too, not as good as a rangefinder, but you can't really have something like that unless you're running a Silencerco Radius or Wilcox Raptor, etc due to night condition.
