The Guide TU650P 3.0 is a premium thermal riflescope built around a 640 × 512 thermal sensor, an ultra-fast 50mm F0.9 germanium lens, and an integrated in-lens laser rangefinder — delivering the brightest thermal picture and cleanest optical path in the Guide TU lineup. With a QHD 2560 × 2560 AMOLED display, 256 GB of onboard storage, and a class-leading 14-hour battery, the TU650P is purpose-built for hunters who demand peak thermal performance without compromise.

Key Features

• 640 × 512 thermal sensor, 12 μm pixel pitch — over 327,000 thermal pixels with ≤18 mK NETD produce sharp, detailed imagery in complete darkness, fog, rain, and smoke, with a thermal detection range of 2,600 meters. The 50 Hz shutterless 3.0 calibration keeps the display live at all times — no freeze frames during recalibration.

• 50mm F0.9 germanium objective lens — the fastest thermal objective in the Guide TU series. The wider F0.9 aperture gathers more infrared energy than a standard F1.0 design, producing brighter images and better contrast when ambient temperature differentials are low — the exact conditions that challenge lesser thermals at dawn, dusk, or in cool-weather hunts.

• In-lens laser rangefinder (1,500 m) — the LRF is integrated into the main optical path rather than a separate aperture, eliminating parallax offset and simplifying the external profile. Range targets instantly and get holdover corrections from the built-in ballistic calculator, loaded and managed via the TargetIR smartphone app.

• QHD 2560 × 2560 AMOLED display — over 6.5 million pixels deliver more than six times the detail of the 1024 × 768 displays found on many competing thermal scopes. Every pixel of sensor data is rendered with sharp clarity across the full magnification range.

• Recoil-activated recording — each shot automatically captures a 15-second video clip and 5 still photos, stored on 256 GB of internal memory. Instant playback lets you review shots without lowering the rifle.

• 14-hour battery with hot-swap 18650 cells — dual internal rechargeable batteries plus an external 18650 bay deliver the longest runtime in the TU series. Standard 18650 cells mean replacement batteries are available anywhere, and hot-swap capability lets you change external cells without powering down.

• IP68 / 6,000J shock rating — fully sealed against dust and submersion, and rated for recoil up to .300 Win Mag. Built to perform in extreme cold (−4°F) through desert heat (122°F).

Ideal For

Dedicated thermal hunters who use thermal exclusively and want the brightest, fastest lens in the Guide lineup — the F0.9 objective and in-lens LRF deliver a pure thermal experience with no dual-channel complexity or added weight.

Long-range predator and hog hunters who need to detect, range, and engage targets at extended distances in total darkness, with holdover solutions calculated on-screen and no external rangefinder required.

Hunters who prioritize battery life on multi-day hunts or extended sits. At 14 hours of continuous runtime with hot-swappable 18650 cells, the TU650P outlasts most thermal scopes on the market.

Professional users and outfitters who need a sealed, all-weather thermal optic with integrated LRF, ballistic calculator, and shot recording in a single package rated for the harshest conditions.
