Got a thermal a few months back and been loving every minute of it but can’t use rifle on Ft Hood unless I’m doing guided hunts. Unguided I am limited to shotgun with slugs or buckshot Or muzzleloader. So I contacted Pulsar and bugged them until i finally got an answer in writing saying that my thermal will be warrantied if there is an issue from recoil from a 12 gauge. Once I got the green light I went to sight in the thermal on the shotgun but the mount wouldn’t fit on the rail which is a weaver so I had class 3 machining machine the gap a little wider so the mount would fit correctly. So now i got a thermal on a 40 yr old Remington Wingmaster with rifled barrel.

cool rig. slugs=short tracking jobs. I like the reduced power slugs, they don't beat me up as bad as normal loads.

been considering getting an MDVR but haven’t pulled the trigger and it’s more crap to worry about.

When I shotgun pigs I use 00 buckshot. Pair that shotgun and thermal with some 00 buck and you could wipe out generations of pigs in one night! flehan

I’ve already killed around 30 of them with the slugs. I’ve killed a few with buckshot as well.

Why can’t you use a rifle unless guided? Or did I misunderstand?

Definitely a cool set up. Why not use a muzzleloader for better range, aside from the obvious lack of follow ups?

I’ve already killed a coyote at 120 yards and quite a few hogs at 100 that’s plenty of range for me shooting slugs. Plus as you mentioned follow up shots

Oh heck yeah. That's just crying for some krylon.

Will the thermal hold up?


One shot is all it should take.

just zeroed it in 3 shots so far so good


To add on to that I got an email from Pulsar after bugging them that said their thermals have no recoil restriction and if there is an issue it will be covered. Gonna try and get it bloody tonight.

Just stole my first soul with the shotgun and thermal setup and he ain’t no little boar either. I’ll post better pics and chest measurement in a bit.

That's awesome. I never wooda thunk of thermal on a shotgun. Obviously, it's working.

Nice setup.
