WULF Nova 20-60x80 Dual Focus Spotting Scope Review
If you've ever tried to spot wildlife, target hits or even nosy neighbours at a distance with cheap glass, you know the frustration, it's like trying to read a book through a plastic bottle. Enter the WULF Nova 20-60x80 Dual Focus Spotting Scope, a bit of a mouthful, but possibly the last name you'll need to remember when it comes to clear, crisp long-range viewing. I’ve spent some time putting it through its paces, from hedges less than 10m to the hills at 1.8km, and here’s how it stacks up when the zoom gets serious.
Quick look
The new WULF Nova 20-60x80 Dual Focus Spotting Scope offers high tier optic quality at entry level prices. New for 2025, the NOVA features a 20-60x magnification range with an 80mm objective for a wide field of view and bright images and detail. The dual focus system offers a coarse and a fine wheel for quick but precision focusing at different ranges. A wide field of view is available on this unit at 35-75m at 1000m giving this unit an exceptional bang for your buck.

Dual Focus System
When a spotting scope describes itself as having a dual focus system, it means there are two separate focus controls:
• Coarse focus (sometimes called “fast” or “primary” focus)
This is a larger wheel or knob that moves the internal optics a larger amount per turn. Its job is to let you rapidly adjust from a general unfocused state (e.g. target far, or very close) to somewhere near focus.
• Fine focus (also called “micro” or “precision” focus)
A smaller wheel or knob, often with much more subtle movement. Once your subject is roughly in focus via the coarse wheel, the fine focus lets you tweak the image to maximum sharpness without overshooting or making big jumps.
What this allows you to do is quickly adjust the focus using the "coarse" wheel and then make the finer adjustment on the "Fine" wheel.
What's in the box?
This unit comes with;
• A stay-on velcro protective case
• Shoulder Strap
• Tethered rubber eye piece
• Tethered rubber objective cover
• Wulf unlimited lifetime warranty
COST
£199.99
Honest opinion
Tree photos are around 1800m
Not bad, 2000yards for £200.
Sheep at like 1700m.
£3500 spotting scope with comparable magnification
This unit is honestly astounding how good it is for the price. There is a field about 1.8km from our office which the local farmer has sheep running around on it. We can clearly spot and see the sheep and excellent quality, a crisp image and even see birds in the hedges...AT 1.8KM FOR £199.99!!! This is one of our cheapest spotting scopes and if I was looking at a spotting scope for 1000m and perhaps even further, I would struggle to look past this. I did manage to get a photo through the lens of a field at 1.8km with the hedge, now the photo does not give this unit justice but you can get a good idea of just how good this optic is. This unit is one of the greatest value units on our site, truly a Wulf in sheeps clothing.

How to Choose a Thermal Monocular in 2025: Top Picks for Every Budget
Top Picks for Every Budget
Thermal monoculars are powerful tools - whether you’re observing wildlife, patrolling a perimeter, or doing night navigation - but the spec sheets can be confusing. Below is a refined guide to choosing one wisely, followed by three recommended models per budget tier (entry, mid, and premium) based on current market options.
What really matters: the key specs
When evaluating a thermal monocular, focus on these core parameters:
Spec
Why It Matters
Practical Target / Range
NETD (Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference)
Measures the sensor’s thermal sensitivity. Lower means it can detect subtler temperature contrasts (turning faint heat differences into visible contrast).
≤ 15mK is strong; 20–30 mK is adequate for many uses; > 50mK is entry / basic.
Sensor resolution & frame rate
More pixels means more detail, especially on distant targets. Frame rate (e.g. 25, 30, 50 Hz) affects smoothness in motion.
320×240 is a solid baseline; 640×480 is premium. Use ≥ 30 Hz for fluid motion.
Lens / focal length / optics size
Affects detection distance vs field of view (FOV). A long focal length gives more reach but narrower view; a short one gives wide FOV but shorter range.
25–35 mm is often a good compromise; 50 mm+ is for more range-focused uses.
Budget / build / ancillary features
These determine what kind of sensor you get, how rugged the unit is, battery life, ergonomics, image recording, and support.
Choose the best combination your budget allows.
The important thing: no single spec rules - the combination of NETD + resolution + lens + optics quality determines real-world performance.
Recommended Models (2025 picks)
Below are three models per budget tier (entry, mid, premium). All are currently available or regularly stocked in the optics / thermal-imaging market.
1. Entry / Budget Tier
These are for users who want to experiment with thermal imaging or do short-range detection without a huge cost. Expect limitations in sensitivity, resolution, or range, but capable of many basic tasks.
• Lynx LC06S Thermal Imaging Monocular - a compact 320×240 sensor unit with a modest lens size. Good for local spotting and beginners.
• Pixfra Mile 2 Thermal Imaging Monocular - slightly more advanced, balances feature set and price.
• GOYOJO Handheld Thermal Imaging Monocular - often among the lower-cost units; acceptable for close-range scanning, though image may be grainy under low contrast.
What to expect / trade-offs in this tier:
• NETD often in the 30–50+ mK region, so in poor contrast or foggy conditions, the view will get noisy.
• Moderate resolution (320×240 or similar) - distant objects may blur or lose detail.
• Short to moderate detection ranges (often under a few hundred metres for human-sized objects).
• Simpler features: battery life, housing, and support will be more modest.
2. Mid-Range Tier
This is where many users find the “sweet spot” - good sensitivity, workable range, and more robust build without the very high premium.
• HIKMICRO Lynx LC06 Handheld Thermal Monocular - a well-known brand, likely with better optics and support.
• HIKMICRO Lynx LH15 2.0 15 mm Thermal Monocular - pushes more on the optics side while staying within a mid-price bracket.
• Pulsar Axion XQ30 Pro Thermal Imaging Monocular - a higher-end mid model with better lens and feature set.
Why this tier is often the best value:
• You can often find NETD values closer to 30–60 mK, meaning better contrast in tougher scenes.
• Better optics (larger or higher-quality lenses) let you detect further or see more detail.
• More advanced features (video recording, digital zoom, better displays).
• More durable housing, better warranties, perhaps better battery systems.
3. Premium / Pro Tier
These are for users who demand maximum performance: long-range detection, fine detail, professional use, or heavy security/surveillance.
• NocPix Lumi H35R Thermal Monocular - top-end features, high sensitivity, likely strong optics.
• HIKMICRO Falcon 2.0 FQ35 35 mm Thermal Monocular - bigger lens, premium optics - designed for serious reach.
• Pixfra Arc A635 Thermal Monocular - advanced sensor, robust build, performance aimed at demanding users.
Upsides and things to check:
• NETD in the 20–40 mK range (or better) is possible, giving crisp images even in challenging contrast.
• High resolution (often 640×480 or more) yields detail at a distance.
• Long detection/identification ranges.
• Premium optics, better build quality, longer warranties, more features (ballistics, rangefinding, high-end video).
• But: price, weight, and size increase; diminishing returns for casual use.
How to Choose a Thermal Monocular in 2025
1. Start with the scenario, not the specs
Ask: How far do I need to see? Am I scanning wide terrain or zooming into detail? Will I use it every night, occasionally, or for duty? Your use case drives which spec is most critical: range, image clarity, or scan speed.
2. Understand the triad: NETD, resolution, optics
• NETD = sensitivity. Lower (e.g. 30 mK) shows subtle contrasts.
• Resolution and frame rate give detail and smoothness.
• Lens size / focal length / optics trade off field of view vs reach.
These three interact. A good lens + low NETD + moderate resolution often yields better real-world performance than a huge sensor with a mediocre lens or high NETD.
3. Pick a tier aligned with your needs and budget
• Entry if you just want to explore or use near-range.
• Mid-range likely gives the best balance of performance and value.
• Premium / Pro when you have demanding tasks or want outstanding performance at all ranges.
4. Watch for essential extras
Battery life (and removable batteries), ruggedness (water/shock/temperature ratings), software features (recording, display, connectivity), and warranty support can make or break usability.
5. Use real-world reviews and range tests
Specs are a guideline; independent tests show how each unit performs in fog, rain, against foliage, etc. Always compare manufacturer claims with user feedback.
Final thoughts & recommendations
If I were buying one today, I’d aim for a mid-range unit with NETD ≤ 50 mK, a balanced lens (around 25–35 mm or a choice of optics), and reliable brand support. The three mid-range picks above (HIKMICRO Lynx, Pulsar Axion, etc.) are solid candidates. READ ARTICLE

Honest option
Sheep in a field at 1.8km
Same sheep in the same field at 1800 metres but see that white bird on the right hand side, how cool is that?
I am a big fan of vortex optics as a whole, their warranty and aftermarket support is second to none. This unit re-affirms this with it's exceptional glass quality and clarity even out at extreme distances. The straight eyepiece is a big gamechanger as I can use this product sitting down and not craning my neck allowing me to view through the optic for longer without getting a sore neck. I am able to clearly see sheep at 1.8km and see birds flying around and landing on them at that distance, the pictures do not do the image quality of this unit justice. For just a hair over £300, that is INSANE!!. Quality of this level belongs at the higher tier pricing but Vortex offers it at an entry level price. With this level of quality at this cheap of a price, it would be hard to look at anything else. READ ARTICLE
Thermal Monoculars for Hunting | Long-Range Detection & Tracking
Benefits of Using a Thermal Monocular for Hunting: Why You Need One in the Field
Hunting has always been a balance of skill, patience, and the right equipment. Generations of hunters have relied on keen eyesight, carefully chosen vantage points, and top-quality optics to succeed in the field. But no matter how experienced or well-prepared you are, nature can stack the odds against you. Dense woods, foggy mornings, and pitch-black nights often reduce visibility and make spotting game nearly impossible.
That’s where thermal monoculars have become true game-changers. Unlike traditional binoculars, scopes, or even night vision devices, thermal monoculars don’t rely on visible light. Instead, they detect infrared radiation-heat - emitted by animals, people, and objects. This gives hunters a completely new way to see the field, regardless of light or weather conditions.
In this article, we’ll break down the major benefits of using a thermal monocular for hunting, and we’ll show how specific models like the HIKMICRO Falcon HQ502.0, Pulsar Oryx, and Nocpix Vista H50R demonstrate these advantages in practice. Whether you’re after coyotes, feral hogs, or deer, these tools can take your hunting to the next level.
Why Thermal Monoculars Are Different from Night Vision
Before diving into the benefits, it’s worth clarifying how thermal differs from traditional night vision. Night Vision amplifies existing light, whether from the moon, stars, or artificial sources. While effective, it struggles in environments with no ambient light and can be compromised by fog, smoke, or shadows. Thermal Imaging, on the other hand, detects heat signatures. Every animal emits heat, which stands out against cooler backgrounds like vegetation, rocks, or soil. Thermal imaging works in complete darkness, through light fog, and even in partially obstructed terrain. This distinction is why more hunters are investing in thermal monoculars as a supplement - or even a replacement - for standard optics.
1. Spot Game in Total Darkness
Every hunter knows that some of the best opportunities happen at night. Predators like coyotes are primarily nocturnal, and feral hogs are most active after sunset. Yet nighttime hunting has traditionally been one of the most difficult challenges due to limited visibility.
Thermal monoculars make it possible to scan fields, treelines, and thick brush in pitch-black conditions. Because animals cannot conceal their body heat, they appear as bright silhouettes against cooler backgrounds. This makes detection significantly easier, even when the game is partially hidden by vegetation.
Take the HIKMICRO Falcon HQ502.0 as an example. This device uses a high-resolution thermal sensor that provides hunters with detailed, sharp images in total darkness. Imagine scanning across an open pasture on a moonless night: with traditional optics, you’d see nothing; with the Falcon HQ502.0, a hog or coyote would immediately stand out.
This advantage means hunters don’t have to rely on artificial light sources like spotlights or flashlights, which often scare off animals before a shot opportunity arises. It also extends effective hunting hours, giving you more flexibility to plan your outings and maximise success.
2. Track Wounded Animals More Easily
One of the most important responsibilities of a hunter is ensuring a clean, ethical recovery. Yet tracking can be the hardest part of a hunt, particularly after sunset. Blood trails can be nearly invisible in low light, and dense terrain can make it easy for a wounded animal to disappear.
Thermal monoculars are a solution to this age-old problem. Because they detect temperature differences, they can reveal both the body heat of a wounded animal and the faint warmth of fresh blood trails. This makes recovery faster, more efficient, and more reliable.
The Pulsar Oryx demonstrates how powerful this benefit can be in practice. Imagine a scenario where you’ve taken a shot at dusk and the deer bolts into thick brush. With your naked eye, the trail quickly vanishes. Using a monocular like the Oryx, you can pick up faint traces of heat, whether from the animal itself or from blood left behind, and follow the trail directly.
Not only does this reduce the frustration of a lost animal, but it also ensures a more ethical hunt - every hunter’s goal. With thermal imaging, you’re far less likely to leave wounded game unrecovered.
3. Cover More Ground with Long-Range Detection
Scouting is one of the most time-consuming parts of hunting. In large fields, open plains, or mountainous terrain, it can take hours of walking or glassing to locate game. Even then, your eyes may miss subtle movement at long range.
Thermal monoculars save time by offering long-range detection capabilities. Many modern models can pick up heat signatures from several hundred to over a thousand yards away. This allows hunters to scan wide areas, identify potential game, and decide whether to pursue without wasting energy.
The Nocpix Vista H50R is a strong example of this benefit. Its design allows hunters to detect heat sources across long distances, turning hours of searching into minutes of scanning. Instead of blindly hiking across a large tract of land, you can stop, scan with the Vista H50R, and immediately know if there’s movement worth pursuing.
This long-range detection also helps reduce unnecessary noise and disturbance in the field. By scouting from a distance, hunters minimise the risk of spooking game before they’re even in range.
4. Stay Stealthy and Safe
Hunting isn’t just about spotting animals - it’s about doing so quietly and safely. Traditional tools like flashlights or headlamps might help with visibility at night, but they have two serious downsides: they can spook game instantly, and they can reveal your position to other hunters.
Thermal monoculars eliminate the need for visible light. By detecting heat instead of relying on illumination, they let hunters move silently and discreetly. This stealth is especially important when targeting skittish animals like hogs or predators that are highly sensitive to disturbance.
Safety is another crucial factor. In areas where multiple hunters are active, distinguishing between an animal and another person can literally save lives. Thermal monoculars allow you to confirm your target and surroundings clearly before making a move.
Devices like the HIKMICRO Falcon HQ502.0, Pulsar Oryx, and Nocpix Vista H50R all showcase this benefit. By removing the need for artificial light, they help hunters remain undetected by game while improving awareness of their environment.
Other Advantages of Thermal Monoculars
Beyond the four core benefits, thermal monoculars bring additional advantages that are worth noting:
Versatility: Thermal devices aren’t just for hunting—they can be used for wildlife observation, property security, or even search and rescue.
Durability: Models from brands like HIKMICRO, Pulsar, and Nocpix are built to handle tough outdoor conditions, including rain, dust, and temperature extremes.
Ease of Use: Modern thermal monoculars are designed with intuitive controls, making them accessible even for hunters new to thermal technology.
Recording Features: Some models allow hunters to record footage or stream live, offering a unique way to review hunts or share experiences.
Why These Brands Stand Out
When choosing a thermal monocular, brand reputation matters. Let’s briefly look at why the brands mentioned in this article—HIKMICRO, Pulsar, and Nocpix—are trusted by hunters.
HIKMICRO: Known for balancing affordability with performance, HIKMICRO’s Falcon HQ502.0 demonstrates the brand’s ability to deliver clear imaging without overwhelming complexity.
Pulsar: A premium name in the thermal space, Pulsar consistently pushes technology forward. The Oryx reflects their commitment to reliability and advanced detection features.
Nocpix: Focused on practicality, Nocpix delivers compact, effective tools like the Vista H50R, designed for hunters who want straightforward long-range detection.
Final Thoughts
Thermal monoculars have transformed modern hunting. By providing visibility in total darkness, reliable tracking, long-range scouting, and improved stealth, they give hunters an edge that traditional optics simply cannot match.
The HIKMICRO Falcon HQ502.0 shows how thermal helps hunters spot game in complete darkness.
The Pulsar Oryx demonstrates how thermal improves recovery and ethical tracking.
The Nocpix Vista H50R illustrates how long-range detection helps hunters cover more ground efficiently.
Together, these models highlight the undeniable value of thermal optics. Whether you hunt hogs, coyotes, or deer, adding a thermal monocular to your gear ensures you’ll be more effective, more ethical, and more prepared for whatever the field throws at you.
If you’re serious about hunting, it’s no longer a question of if you should invest in thermal—it’s a question of which model fits your style best. READ ARTICLE
Why Use a Rifle Bipod? | Types, Benefits & Buying Guide
Why should you use a bipod?
Rifle bipods are super handy tools that help shooters keep their rifles steady. Whether you're out hunting, target shooting at the range, or just want better control over your shots, a bipod can make a big difference. It attaches to the front of your rifle and gives you a stable rest, especially when you're shooting from the ground or a bench. This extra support can help you stay on target longer and improve your accuracy. Bipods come in different sizes and styles, so there’s something out there for just about every shooter and shooting situation.
Choosing a bipod
When it comes to choosing a bipod, looking through pages and pages of bipods makes it seem like a daunting process, as there can be hundreds of options and hundreds of pounds between them. Choosing can be made easier by asking yourself, What do I need it for? Will it be going onto a lightweight hunting rifle and need to be light itself, or will it be going on a heavier target rifle and need to be large, strong and sturdy? These are the questions we will help you answer.
Types of bipods
Fixed BipodThe first type of bipod to look at is the fixed bipod. This is the simplest form of a bipod with no adjustment either on the height or the position. They are durable, easy to use and most often the most budget-friendly option. The main advantage of this type is the simplistic nature, lightweight and low cost of these bipods. The downsides of this type of bipod are the limited adaptability for uneven terrain or changing positions. These units are best for flat environments or during static (not moving) shooting styles such as bench rest. This type of bipod is not very common any more with the introduction of cheaper adjustable models.
Adjustable Height BipodsThese bipods feature adjustable legs, allowing for a change in shooting height, which is helpful when using different shooting positions or terrain. E.g., up or down hill or moving from a prone to bench rest position. These bipods are good for their flexibility in use, as they can be used in multiple shooting environments and positions. While these bipods are highly versatile, they are generally a little bit heavier than the fixed models, but the usability due to the adjustable legs does set them apart. These bipods generally fit onto a swivel stud fixed to the bottom of the rifle. Some great models from Hawke fit this type. These are one of the most common types of bipods for hunting use.
Swivel (Pivot) BipodsSwivel bipods allow for a side-to-side motion, which will allow you to cant the rifle to remain upright in undulating terrain such as a hill or other obstacles. These bipods perform well in dynamic hunting environments where the position where the shot will be taken is not clear until the very last moment. It will allow you to level the rifle on a hill or obstacle so you can make a perfect shot. These bipods generally fit onto a swivel stud fixed to the bottom of a rifle and are also one of the most common bipods for hunting use. Swivel bipods can cost more than standard adjustable bipods and take a little practice to use the swivel lock in these models, but they can easily improve your shooting ability with correct use. Hawke also makes excellent models that fit in this category.
Tactical BipodsTactical Bipods have been designed for rugged professional or tactical use. Very popular with long-distance shooters, Precision rifle series (PRS), Hardcore airsoft, Police and military use. They often feature a quick detach system, durable materials and various mounting options to fit popular platforms such as Picatinny rail and ARCA mounts. These bipods are very high quality and often feature the latest bipod technology, as well as offering extreme durability to accommodate the fast nature and generally rough conditions associated with PRS competitions and high-calibre rifles. With these high-level features often comes a higher price and more weight. Excellent examples of this type of bipod are the Tier One and Accu-Tac lines.
Harris-Style bipodsWhile Harris-style bipods are very similar to the previous Adjustable and Swivel bipods, it is worth mentioning them separately. The Harris bipods are a premium offering for hunting and target use. These bipods have similar features to the previously mentioned bipods but also offer different types of adjustment in the legs, whether it be notched legs for quick and easy deployment or smooth legs for self-levelling and fine adjustment for the legs. They also offer hunting bipods with picatinny and M-LOK mounting points, which is helpful with more and more rifles and aftermarket stocks coming with M-LOK holes in lightweight packages such as the Springfield Waypoint rifles or the MDT hunting stocks. While also being similar to the previous types of bipods, Harris has made these bipods to incredible levels of quality, meaning they are extremely durable and long-lasting, but this increase in material quality has also added a very slight increase in weight from the standard types. These bipods make a great all-purpose bipod which can fulfil most requirements.
Lightweight Bipods
With the introduction of carbon fibre in the shooting industry, weight saving has become the race to see who can make the lightest equipment, and this is easier to accomplish with carbon being a fraction of the weight while keeping the rigidity of heavier bipods. These bipods are designed for portability without sacrificing stability. Great for hunters who trek up mountains and for those who have to carry their gear longer distances, as every bit of weight saving will help for those arduous days. While being great for hunting use and very light, the cost of the bipods can be a downside, with it being twice the price of a current Harris model. The Spartan bipods are a great option for those looking to get one of these bipods, and they offer a unique mounting system (ships with the mount), which is super quick and easy to use.
Benchrest BipodsWith the popularity of benchrest shooting in today's community, it only makes sense for manufacturers to make bipods specifically tailored for this discipline. These bipods are optimised for use on stable surfaces like tables or flat terrain and often use extra-wide legs for stability. This is great for target shooting and zeroing your rifle, as the extra stability will make your rifle very precise. The added size of these bipods makes them very durable and reliable; however, they also make them cumbersome and unwieldy. This can be a drawback if you want to use them for multiple purposes, but if you only wish to use them for static shooting, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better type of bipod.
Which Height do I need?
Height for the bipods depends on your specific rifle, physical size and intended use. If you had a standard Tikka T3X Lite for hunting use, a 6"- 9" Harris bipod will likely suffice, as it is not a very large rifle. Whereas, if you had a Tikka TAC A1 for target use, you would consider a taller 9"- 13" bipod, as you will need to compensate for the added size of the rifle.
However, this is not always the case; Harris does make a 27" bipod, which is very useful for shooting in a field with longer grass, as it allows you to rest the rifle above the top of the grass, and you can generally sit behind the rifle rather than having to lie down.
Some consideration will need to be given when selecting a height for the bipod, but if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the Optics Warehouse Team.
Mounting Options
With multiple different mounting options now for bipods, it can be a little confusing which one you need.
Here are the main types:
- Picatinny: Best for versatility and compatibility with most chassis rifles.- M-LOK: Ideal for lightweight setups and modern chassis and aftermarket hunting stocks such as MDT.- KeyMod: Good for shooters with existing KeyMod-equipped rifles such as the AXMC. However, this attachment point is not as common as it used to be.- Swivel Stud: Suitable for traditional or hunting-style setups, with most rifles having this attachment point.- Quick-Detach: Perfect for lightweight hunting situations and using the same bipod between multiple rifles. This can be a proprietary mount, such as the Spartan mount or simply a quick-detach Picatinny or arca.
Final things to remember
When choosing your bipod, imagine yourself using it. Do you want a heavier, larger bipod on a hunting rifle? Or a small, lightweight bipod in a long-range competition?
Imagine hiking up a hill with a large backpack weighing you down. These are the questions that will help you make an educated choice and will help you get out shooting sooner and stronger
If you still have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the team at Optics Warehouse at 01803 611895
