Fusion Thermal Boarmaster 40E (Enhanced) Thermal Imaging Riflescope
The Fusion Thermal Boarmaster 40E (Enhanced) features Fusion Thermal WAVE12 (12-Micron) thermal sensor for a higher level of performance that’s sure to please even the most demanding operators. Immediately you’ll notice a serious uptick in target resolution so expect to see things in an entirely different way. It also features a higher 3x optical magnification which many believe to be the perfect balance between target resolution and field of view. You’re going to notice that your detection range just got a lot longer too up by a 27%, now 1900 yards.
However, everything else is the same as Fusion Thermal held true to the Boarmaster build philosophy of keeping things simple and your wallet happy. Expect top shelf performance and rock solid durability as all Fusion Thermal benchmark technology is there, including their Arclight Ultra HD Germanium Lens, WAVE12 Thermal Sensor, Micro Click Focus, XGEN Armored Housing, T3 – three button control system, and Fusion Thermal’s exclusive KISS (keep it simple stupid) operator’s menu, the menu that’s so easy to operate you might never read the instructions.
Fusion Thermal Technology
T3 Control System – Your Fingers Won’t Get Lost in the Dark
The only thing cooler then the way Fusion Thermal T3 – Three Button Control System looks is how easy it is to use. 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. Fusion Thermal thought this 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 industries boldest statement: Fusion Thermal’s operating menu is so easy to use you’ll likely never read the instructions. With instructions that are written for Americans by Americans.
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 Fusion Thermal’s Micro Click Focus. The 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, you won’t need to perform a circus act or trash your shoulder 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.
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 Fusion Thermal 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. XGEN (Next Generation Alloy Body) shields your expensive investment in a clad of armor, and Fusion Thermal high-end 6082 Structural Aluminum Alloy displaces heat 71,900% better than plastic*.

WAVE Sensor Technology – Spend Less, Get More
Fusion Thermal’s WAVE sensor technology sets the standard for the industry, and delivers performance that consistently exceeds expectations. The WAVE, Wavelength Area Variation Expansion, is a technology born from Fusion Thermal obsession about thermal technology, and why they live by the slogan Perfecting the Vision of Heat. Every single pixel on a WAVE sensor is carefully optimized to increase its temperature variation uniformity and sensitivity. This results in an increasingly more precise electrical signal being sent to the display, and why you’ll discover a visual experience that you simply were not expecting.
Arclight Ultra HD Germanium Lens – Seeing is Believing
The single most expensive and important component of a 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 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 rays into the thermal sensor unhindered by distortion. This infrared energy dump unleashes the full potential of Fusion Thermal supercharged WAVE sensor. The resulting image quality is exactly as expected, perfection!
Fusion Thermal Premium QD Mount – FAST & Secure
To anchor the Boarmaster to your rig Fusion Thermal teamed up with defense contractor UNITY Tactical to offer what Fusion Thermal think is the most stable and versatile thermal scope mount on the market. The unique riser features the interface for the UNITY FAST Offset Mount Base. This platform gives the operator the option to easily connect a reflex red dot directly to the mount riser. To complete the package Fusion Thermal wanted an attachment system that had a proven track record of durability and precise return to zero, so Fusion Thermal decided on none other than ADM.
