Testing began over the weekend on Pulsar's latest digital NV riflescope - called the Digisight LRF (laser range finder). Below are some general details of the product and a couple of videos - I don't plan on releasing much more until I have thoroughly tested it and put together a full review - ETA April 2015.

I don't sell these so if you have any questions contact a dealer, I am a ProStaffer for Pulsar which is how I got ahold of one for the review.

General details:
The following specs and features are subject to change so double check with your retailer before purchasing

The Pulsar Digisight LRF is the new dedicated night vision riflescope from Pulsar with built in laser range finder.

With a 500x582 sensor and 640x480 OLED display, the Digisight LRF provides high quality night observation with a detection range of up to 400m using the built in Covert IR laser illuminator.

The device has accessory rails for attaching EPS3 battery pack for extended run time, or a high power external IR illuminators.

With a 4.5x optical magnification, the LRF has an incremental digital zoom (0.1x increments), giving you up to 9x magnification at the touch of a button.

Packed with features including 13 user selectable reticles, 3 zero parameter memory, Adjustment of Angle via LRF, and THD for accurate shot alignment via the laser range finder.

400m laser range finding offers precise and accurate range measurement day or night, with incline angle measurement, virtually eliminating the guess work of range finding at night which is often virtually impossible, if not often deceptive.

AOE Function

The AOE function allows you to change angle of target location (angle of elevation)

When the functions is activated, the angle is shown continuously. When the function is disabled, the angle is shown when the rangefinder is operated

THD Function

The THD function allows the user to measure true horizontal distance to a target based on the angle of elevation value

The functions is selected by pressing the controller button, and selecting the THD function to On. Then the THD distance will appear above the distance readings.

Weapon Tilt Indicator

This option allows you to activate or deactivate the weapon tilt function, which indicated by sector arrows on the edge of the horizontal line of reticle.

Arrows show the direction in which you should move your rifle eliminate tilt.

There are three modes of indication:
5 deg to 10 deg - one sector arrow
10 deg to 20 deg - two sector arrow
>20 deg - three sector arrow
Reticle colour and type selection

The option allows you to switch between colour options of reticle and 13 user selectable reticles.

Ben looking forward to the rest of your review. Mine is mounted and sighted in. I am headed out in a few hours to test the night vision out with the on board IR and a T20 I have.
 
Ok..compared to the x-sight this thing rocks at night. The onboard IR works fine out to the 180 yard tree line that I have in my yard. The T20 was way to bright unless I completely defocused and used the low setting.

The only thing I can say right now is it is not a crisp as the x-sight when you could see something.

I was able to range a rabbit in the yard at 68 yards and 126 yards...I love this feature!
 
Here is a video showing the viewfinder image, the N850 has an OLED near eye display which looks much better than the capped resolution video file coming out of the video output.
