When you’re hunting proper Aussie country – timbered ridges, creek flats, paddocks broken up by tree lines and scrub – the difference between “maybe” and meat in the tray comes down to two things: how early you spot animals and how steady you are when it’s time to send it.
The Woodland Sentinel Bundle – HIKMICRO Stellar SQ35L 3.0 + Scree Runner HO-TPC32 Carbon Fibre Tripod & Gun Mount – is built to stack both in your favour. It’s a complete night-hunting system for bush and woodland hunters who want 640-class thermal clarity and a rock-solid shooting platform in one hit.
What You Get in the Woodland Sentinel Bundle
This combo brings together two serious bits of kit:
- HIKMICRO Stellar SQ35L 3.0 Thermal Riflescope – 640 × 512 @ 12 μm sensor, fast 35 mm F1.0 lens, huge 1.03" 2560 × 2560 OLED display, built-in 1000 m laser rangefinder and ballistic calculator in a traditional scope body.
- Scree Runner HO-TPC32 Carbon Fibre Tripod + Gun Mount – lightweight carbon-fibre legs with serious load rating, multiple leg angles, grippy feet and a dedicated gun mount that locks your rifle in like it’s on rails.
Bought separately, you’re paying more and doing the thinking yourself. As a Good Hunt bundle, it’s pre-matched gear that works together – and you save cash off the top.
Why a 35 mm 640 Thermal Owns the Bush
Plenty of scopes look good on paper. The Stellar SQ35L 3.0 is one of the few that’s tuned for the terrain most Aussies hunt: mixed scrub, timber, gullies and paddocks – not endless open plain.
- 640 × 512 sensor with ultra-low NETD gives fine detail in heat signatures, even on warm or humid nights.
- 35 mm F1.0 lens and a wide, practical field of view let you scan, stalk and still positively ID pigs, deer and foxes at distance.
- The big 2560 × 2560 OLED display fills your sight picture with a crisp, circular image that’s easier on the eye on long nights.
In real terms, you pick up movement earlier along fence lines, creek edges and in the timber. You can tell pig from roo, stag from spiker, without walking in another 100 m just to be sure.
LRF + Ballistics = Less Guessing, More First-Round Hits
The integrated 1,000 m laser rangefinder and onboard ballistic calculator turn the SQ35L 3.0 from “nice scope” into a precision hunting tool.
Instead of guessing:
“Eh, that looks like 180… maybe hold a smidge high.”
You simply:
- Range the target.
- Let your ballistic profile do the maths.
- Apply the correct hold or dial and send it.
On fox-sized targets or longer paddock shots on pigs and deer, that’s the difference between replaying a miss in your head all night and watching them drop exactly where you aimed. It also means more ethical, clean hits.
Why the Scree Runner Tripod Changes Everything
If you’ve ever tried to take a 200 m shot off a wobbly gate, bonnet or fence post in the dark, you already know why a proper tripod matters.
- Carbon fibre legs keep the weight down but still handle heavy rifle + thermal setups with ease.
- High load rating means no flex or collapse when you lean in and break the shot.
- Adjustable leg angles and grippy feet lock in on hill faces, creek banks, ploughed paddocks or stubble.
- The dedicated gun mount clamps the rifle securely, turning your position into a planted, confidence-inspiring shooting platform.
Combine that with the SQ35L’s thermal clarity and ballistic tools and you’ve got a repeatable system: spot – range – lock in – send it.
How the Woodland Sentinel Bundle Makes Hunting Better
1. You See More, Earlier
Thermal lets you see heat through darkness, fog, light cover and long grass. With a 640 sensor and a wide, practical field of view, you’re spotting pigs, deer and foxes earlier and from further away – which means more time to plan and less chance of getting busted.
2. You Shoot Steadier
Instead of dropping to a rushed kneel or trying to balance on a random fence post, you drop the tripod, lock the rifle in and you’re instantly steadier. That means better shot placement, more effective feral control and more confidence stretching shots when conditions are right.
3. You Make Smarter Decisions
Rangefinder plus ballistics means you’re not guessing. You know the distance, you know your hold, and you know your rifle and scope are doing their job. That mental load off your shoulders makes you calmer behind the trigger – and that usually means better results.
4. You Hunt Longer With Less Fatigue
The combination of a big, sharp OLED display and a stable shooting position is underrated. Less eye strain from squinting at grainy thermal. Less muscle fatigue from unsupported holds. More time actually hunting instead of constantly resting or repositioning.
Who the Woodland Sentinel Bundle Is Built For
- Pig, deer and goat hunters working scrubby ridges, tree lines, river flats and paddocks at night.
- Landholders and farmers who need a reliable feral control setup that just works, night after night.
- Hunters stepping up from entry-level thermal and wanting a serious, long-term rig.
- Anyone sick of wobbly rests, guessing distances and “near enough” gear.

Buying the Woodland Sentinel Bundle from Good Hunt doesn’t just get you the gear – it gets you:
- Bundle savings compared to buying the scope and tripod separately.
- Fast, Australia-wide shipping so you’re not waiting forever to get in the paddock.
