RIX Storm-S2 12um 256 Thermal Scope 25mm Thermal Imaging RifleScope, 50Hz Refresh Rate, Thermal Scope with 1422 Yards Detection Range and 3.5X Base Magnification, 0.9lb

Finally got it , for the price you’ve paid (on sale ) it is a good thermal . Not much can hide from your scope , of course there are limitations , if it’s behind something bigger like a small mound or a thick tree then you won’t be able to see it .Of course at night they can’t see you , but you can work your way around to see them from different angles .The reason I went for this one is because it look like user friendly , it’s not over complicated when it comes to buttons and options/ setting .Battery last pretty long even on mid level setting and usage , and in the cold .I love the lens cover, easy push button to open .This one have way more adjustability when it comes to elevation and windage then some other digital scope that I have .Cons: Even at close range 20-30 yards , it’s hard to tell if it’s a red squirrel or a small rabbit , or a bird (at night) .You need to manually focus at different range to clear up the images when switching between close range and far away 10 yards to 60 yards .Definitely need a range finder built in (of course that’s probably on the higher end models) .Improvements/ suggestions: I know some of these on the higher end have better status then this one , but I do wish it have a day time feature, so that you can zero the scope during the day .Bigger field of view would be nice , of course if you link this to your smart phone that’s an option they have . It would be nice to have a smart phone holder attachment that come with this then .Again at the end of the day , it is a good starter thermal for the price .

The media could not be loaded. This is my first thermal I have ever bought and I absolutely love it. I bought the S2 version to save a little money and to try it out without breaking the bank for a thermal. Very impressed with the ease of use and the image quality of the RIX. The video is before I mounted it and was watching a coyote walk right behind the house about 100 yds out. After mounting it to a 300 Blackout it was time to sight it in. Was able to zero it in with one shot using the sighting in feature and the included thermal targets in broad daylight with ease. Went back out the next day a shot a few rounds to make sure zero was still held. Took the RIX thermal off and added it to a .22 and was able to zero that gun as my second gun. The pics of the target are at 100 yds for the 300 blackout using the included thermal target. The .22 was sighted in at 50 yds. Also zeroed it on 5.56. It’s nice that you can store multiple zeroes if you plan on moving the thermal between guns. Next came some testing on moving the scope back and forth between the 3guns and seeing if zero would be held. Shot about 200 rounds between the 3 guns moving the scope between the 3 and it held zero perfect during the shooting. As long as you lock it on the rail in the same place as you zeroed it from, it worked flawlessly. This thermal is a game changer for seeing what’s out there at night. So far so good and I will definately be buying RIX again. Excellent value for the money spent.

Easy to learn out of the box..mounted on a ruger 10/22. Accuracy easily achieved within 10 shots...A good product...it works and is very clear...

The media could not be loaded. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this detected deer and coyote. I could easily tell the difference between the two and this coyote was shot at 175 yards. Once you get past 300 yards, it’s harder to distinguish between the two but you can easily detect deer up to 900 yards. The battery life was great as well. I hunted for 5.5 hours and it still showed 1/4 battery left. It has 5 different thermal options as well as 9 different reticle options. Very easy to zero and the zero stays solid. I switched guns and set up another profile and when I switched back, my zero was still on. I have shown a few friends and they have bought them as well.

The scope works amazingly, getting it zeroed In extremely simple and it's holds it zero very well even against the 750gr. 45-70 gvt ammo I use.The only reason I am not giving it a 5 star rating is the app needed for the extra features. It seems to struggle with the video processing leaving most of my recordings corrupted or unwatchable.

Nice thermal scope. So far zero issues. Tool on trip to South Dakota for coyotes. Dead on.

I was skeptical at first of trying a 256 scope but I liked the idea of the 18650 battery and the price point and I’ve got it out a few times playin around and I’m very impressed the furthest cattle is 120yds the deer are 250+ yds it’s a lot better image than I was expecting I have not actually coyote hunted with it yet but plan to soon but so far I see know reason I couldn’t identify and take a effective shot on one out to 200 ish which our shots around us are usually 150 and in. But it’s very user friendly and a heck of a value for the money in my opinion. Sight in was easy and held great groups. And the company I ordered from on here essence outdoors llc was great to deal with I had some question on the order and they responded almost immediately and stayed in touch so far so good on my end. If you wanna try to get into the thermal game but don’t have a fourtune to spend give it a shot and I’m tellin a true honest review

Worth every penny I use for scanner/buddy scope
