RIX Optics STORM S3R – Thermal Accuracy with Integrated
Rangefinding
The RIX Optics STORM S3R Thermal Imaging Riflescope is
designed for shooters who want more than basic thermal capability. Combining a
high-performance thermal sensor with a built-in laser rangefinder and ballistic
support, it offers a complete solution for detection, ranging, and precision
shooting.
Built for hunting and pest control in real-world conditions,
the S3R delivers strong mid-range performance with added long-range accuracy
features.
384 Thermal Sensor for Clear Image Detail
At the core of the STORM S3R is a 384×288 VOx thermal
sensor, delivering improved clarity over entry-level models.
- 12µm
pixel pitch for modern image quality
- NETD
<25mK for strong thermal sensitivity
- Smooth
50Hz refresh rate for tracking moving targets
This allows users to clearly identify targets in darkness,
fog, and dense vegetation.
Long Detection Range for Field Use
- Detection
range up to ~1800 metres (1969 yards)
- Suitable
for mid to long-range shooting scenarios
- Effective
in open terrain and farmland
This extended range gives users more time to identify and
assess targets before taking a shot.
Built-In Laser Rangefinder & Ballistic Support
A key upgrade over non-R models is the integrated LRF:
- Laser
rangefinder up to ~1200 metres with high accuracy
- Built-in
ballistic calculator for holdover adjustment
- Faster
and more accurate shot placement
This makes the S3R a strong option for users who want
precision without needing separate equipment.
