RIX Tactical Storm S3R V2 Thermal Imaging Scope 35mm Objective 3 5X Optical Magnification Matte Black QD Mount RIX STORM S3R V2 UPC 850042107263
Product Description
The RIX Tactical® Storm S3R V2 Thermal Imaging Riflescope in Matte Black (SKU: RIX STORM S3R V2 / UPC: 850042107263) delivers cutting-edge night-hunting capability and tactical electro-optics to modern carbines and precision bolt-action platforms. Engineered specifically for feral hog eradication, predator management, and hard-use nocturnal perimeter defense, the Storm S3R V2 solves the limitations of early thermal weapon sights by pairing an ultra-sensitive sub-15mK thermal sensor with a built-in 2,187-yard laser rangefinder and onboard ballistic engine. Delivering up to 1,969 yards of positive heat detection range, this optic allows hunters to identify quarry, compute exact ballistic drops, and execute clean, ethical shots in complete darkness.
At the mechanical and optical heart of the Storm S3R V2 is an uncooled 384x288 vanadium oxide (VOx) 12-micron thermal detector operating at a smooth 50 Hz frame rate. Boasting a thermal sensitivity rating of NETD <15mK, the sensor extracts rich environmental detail, thermal contrast, and subtle temperature differentials even during rain, dense fog, or high-humidity southern heat. Incoming infrared radiation passes through a premium 35mm F/1.0 Germanium objective lens system, magnified to a versatile 3.5x base optical power with smooth 1x to 4x digital step zoom (up to 14x total magnification). Visual data is routed through proprietary RIX RET image algorithms onto an ultra-sharp 0.49-inch 1920x1080 rounded AMOLED micro-display, housed within an IP67 waterproof aircraft-grade aluminum chassis rated to endure 6,000 Joules of punishing recoil.
The Storm S3R V2 introduces vital ergonomic upgrades, most notably relocating the integrated 2,187-yard Laser Rangefinder (LRF) module to the left side of the chassis to provide complete clearance for right-handed bolt-action rifle manipulations. The unit mounts seamlessly to any standard MIL-STD-1913 rail via the included QDM-S02 quick-detach Picatinny mount, retaining zero across repeated staging cycles. Powered by a standard user-replaceable 18650 rechargeable battery (providing up to 4 hours of continuous runtime), the unit features onboard photo and video recording with audio, 5 zeroing profiles, 6 dynamic thermal color palettes, and full Wi-Fi integration with the RIX+ mobile app for effortless wireless firmware updates and live-stream viewing.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:*
Fitment Matrix: Direct mounting to all MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails across AR-15, AR-10, and bolt-action rifle systems (utilizes included QDM-S02 quick-detach base). CRITICAL: Left-side LRF module is specifically engineered to clear right-hand bolt-action cycling throws. Optic is recoil rated up to 6,000 Joules (safe for calibers up to .300 Win Mag, .375 H&H, and 12GA slugs). ITAR/EAR Controlled: strictly prohibited from export outside the United States. Ensure the 18650 battery positive terminal faces inward as indicated on the chassis prior to threading the battery cap. When mounting, push the optic forward in the Picatinny slot before throwing the QD locking levers to properly seat the recoil lugs.
- Ensure the host rifle is completely unloaded, magazine removed, chamber visually and physically confirmed clear, and all live ammunition removed from the staging area.
- Loosen the dual throw-lever clamp adjustments on the included QDM-S02 quick-detach mount, seat the cross-bolts firmly into the desired Picatinny rail slots, bias the scope forward against the recoil shoulders, and lock the levers down (adjust the hex tension nuts if any play remains).
- Install a fully charged 18650 battery into the side battery compartment observing correct polarity, thread the sealed battery cap closed, and press and hold the power button to boot the system.
- Rotate the ocular diopter ring until the reticle and on-screen telemetry on the 1920x1080 AMOLED display appear razor sharp, then rotate the front 35mm objective focus ring to establish clear target resolution at your target distance.
- Navigate to the Zeroing menu at the 100-yard line using an activated thermal target; fire a 3-shot group, utilize the Freeze Frame Zeroing feature (0.43 MOA per click) to walk the digital reticle to the point of impact, save the zero to your selected rifle profile, verify the LRF point of aim, and stage the weapon for night deployment.
