Introducing the 3rd generation of the world’s simplest-to-use thermal rifle scope, the Boarmaster 40 Pro. This evolution of their popular design holds on to its heritage, as they kept all the things that made this product so highly desired: compactness, performance, affordability, and most importantly, simplicity. New to this generation is their enhanced power plant, which uses a commonly available and fully rechargeable 18500 battery system. Moving to this system increased our in-the-field run time by a whopping 87.5%, now 7.5 hours, and completely eliminated the cost associated with disposable batteries forever. While they include the batteries and charger you need with your purchase, you’ll never have to worry about finding batteries in the future as they are industry standard and commonly available in lots of places.

With the Boarmaster Pro, they are also introducing their new RAZR feature (Recoil Activated Zoom Reduction). This is their advancement on the commonly available feature known as PIP (Picture-In-Picture). Gone are all the drawbacks of PIP, as now the user can utilize the full screen for that magnified first shot and, upon recoil, have the screen automatically and instantaneously reset to low magnification for maximum field-of-view on follow-ups. RAZR is a complete game changer and sets a new performance standard for occasions when you’ve got a field full of targets that need your attention.

Everything else in the model holds true to its non-compromising build philosophy, including their Arclight Ultra HD Germanium Lens, WAVE12 Thermal Sensor, Micro Click Focus, XGEN Armored Housing, T3 (Three Button Control System), and their exclusive KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) operator’s menu. The Boarmaster 40 Pro is so easy to learn and operate that you’ll likely never read the instructions.

Fusion Thermal Exclusive Technology

T3 Control System: Your Fingers Won’t Get Lost in the Dark: The only thing cooler than the way their T3 (Three Button Control System) looks is how easy it is to use. Their highly intuitive three-button design, with its center tower, makes using your thermal scope simple and easy. Every command you need is right at your fingertips, and the Center Tower evenly splits the button control panel, so you always know where your fingers are. They thought this was a particularly good thing since you’ll be using it in the dark most of the time. Besides, simpler is better, and the T3, well, it’s as easy as 1-2-3.

KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) Menu: You Might Never Read the Manual: You know the phrase, Keep It Simple Stupid, and at Fusion Thermal, it’s the reason they can make the industry’s boldest statement: Their operating menu is so easy to use you’ll likely never read the instructions. Yep, that’s right. Finally, a highly advanced electronic device that doesn’t require a PHD to use. It was simple. They don’t care about making their products usable by someone on the other side of the planet, so their menu uses words and not confusing icons. Words that are in English, with instructions that are written for Americans by Americans. Wow, the happiness you find by keeping things simple.

Micro-Click Focus: Forget the Dog Collar: Getting your target into focus quickly and easily is a must, and you won’t find a better system than our Micro Click Focus. Their tall tactile focus knob is conveniently located on top of the front lens assembly, so it’s easy to reach and easy to find, even in complete darkness. This is critical if you want to keep your eye in the scope and on target, and unlike the dog collar design used by most of our competitors, you won’t need to perform a circus act just to focus your scope. Plus, you’ll always get your best shot, as the micro click adjustments put you exactly on top of the perfect focus point every time. This feature is such a big advancement over the competitive design that it is often touted as the thing our customers love most about our scopes.

XGEN Alloy Housing: Plastic is for toys. Metal is for tools: It’s a fact: operational heat is the enemy of all thermal devices, and if your thermal can’t get rid of the heat it generates, your image quality will suffer. Worse yet is the long-term damage this heat will cause to everything in the device. Your thermal was expensive, and you’ve got to get the heat out to keep it operating properly. This is why they never use plastic or other polymer housings. Plastics and polymers are insulators, and aluminum alloys are conductors. One traps heat, and one gets rid of it. It’s that simple. Sure, plastic is ridiculously cheap, but it’s a shortcut they refuse to take, and it’s something nearly all their competitors do. Their XGEN (Next Generation Alloy Body) shields your expensive investment in a clad of armor, and their high-end 6082 Structural Aluminum Alloy displaces heat 71,900% better than plastic*. This is a huge difference and a reason alone why you should buy one of their products. Think about it: if our competitors are taking a shortcut with something this obvious, what else are they skimping on? It’s your money; buy something of value with it.

Wave Sensor Technology: Spend Less, Get More: Is it possible for one 384 sensor to outperform all other 384s and even some 640s? Is it possible for one 640 sensor to clearly outperform all other 640s? The answer to these questions is yes—a resounding yes. Don’t be fooled into thinking a sensor resolution specification is the definitive guide to quality, performance, and longevity. The difference in what you get from one thermal to the next can be huge! Their WAVE sensor technology sets the standard for the industry and delivers performance that consistently exceeds expectations. The WAVE, or Wavelength Area Variation Expansion, is a technology born from our obsession with advancing thermal performance, which is why we live by the slogan Perfecting the Vision of Heat. It’s the reason their products outperform others that cost more, sometimes thousands more. Every single pixel on a WAVE sensor is carefully optimized to increase its temperature variation uniformity and sensitivity. This results in an increasingly precise electrical signal being sent to the display, which creates a near-perfect image. Use one of their products and discover a visual experience that you simply were not expecting.

It’s true that you usually get what you pay for, but you don’t always have to pay more to get more. Fusion Thermal’s WAVE technology is the industry performance standard, and their products are why people are spending a lot less to get the performance they want. Yes, it can happen; you can get more for your money, and Fusion Thermal is here to make it happen.

Arclight Ultra HD Germanium Lens: Seeing is Believing: The single most expensive and important component of a well-crafted thermal optic is its germanium objective lens. If you go cheap here, it doesn’t matter how good the rest of your components are; the unit will never perform to its potential. Arclight Ultra HD Germanium Lenses are not cheap, but they are key to making everything else perform exceptionally well. The purity of the Arclight Lens pushes the limits of technology and perfects the task of funneling infrared energy into the thermal sensor unhindered by distortion. This infrared energy dump unleashes the full potential of their supercharged WAVE sensor. The resulting image quality is exactly as expected: perfection! Perfecting the Vision of Heat. It’s what we do; it’s who we are.

RAZR: Recoil-Activated Zoom Reduction: How do you make an industry staple obsolete? It’s simple; just invent something better. RAZR is our advancement on the commonly available feature known as PIP (Picture-In-Picture). Gone are all the drawbacks of PIP, as now the user can utilize the full screen for that magnified first shot and, upon recoil, have the screen automatically and instantaneously reset to low magnification for maximum field-of-view on follow-ups. RAZR is a complete game changer and sets a new performance standard for occasions when you’ve got a field full of targets that need your attention.

Fusion Thermal Premium QD Mount: Fast and Secure: To anchor the Boarmaster to your rig, they teamed up with defense contractor UNITY Tactical to offer what they think is the most stable, precise, and versatile thermal scope mount on the market. Their unique riser features the interface for the UNITY FASTTM Offset Mount Base. This platform gives the operator the option to easily connect a reflex red dot directly to the mount riser. Something that might prove useful if a charging swine has you on his list. To complete the package, we wanted an attachment system that had a proven track record of durability and a precise return to zero, so we decided on none other than ADM.
