In the market for a new RIX thermal scope - or perhaps you’re looking at your first thermal rifle scope?
The RIX DBH D6 offers everything (and more) that most nocturnal hunters will need. Here’s your primer on this thermal scope.
About This RIX Thermal Scope: Specs
The heart of this RIX thermal scope is a 640x512 high-performance with a 12μm pixel pitch and a NETD rating of 20mK or better. It delivers crisp, detailed images even in adverse conditions, such as high humidity.
It also boasts a refresh rate of 60Hz, producing sharp image tracking with minimal lag, which is critical if the target is moving quickly - or if you are, such as if you are in a vehicle tracking.
It also features a 60mm lens, 3x base magnification and is zoom-equipped from 3-18x, with digital controls for .1x increments, enabling high-clarity detection and engagement of targets even when they are at extended ranges.
The high-performance OLED display takes value further; the 2560x2560 display produces a highly detailed sight picture and enables precise zeroing and adjustments while upholding high target image clarity.
Ballistic Calculation Equipped
The RIX DBH D6 is ballistic calculation equipped, making quick, accurate ballistic calculations in the field possible - so you can gauge the ethics of a shot and choose your shots confidently, or reposition.
Calculations are capable just through the thermal scope, but it is also compatible with the RIX+ app, through which you can upload and download ballistic parameters, enabling more precise shot calculation than ever before, giving you confidence, even in complete darkness.
Long Battery Life
Another huge selling point of this RIX thermal scope is its battery life - it’s equipped to handle up to 8 hours of use out in the elements, giving it the power to last through long, grueling nocturnal hunts, even in unforgiving conditions.
On top of its battery life, it is also powered by two rechargeable 18650 batteries; this makes battery replacement easier when the battery capacity starts to flag.
On top of that, the batteries can be inserted into the battery compartment in any orientation and the device will still work. This makes it much easier to swap the batteries if the device dies, even in complete darkness.
Built Tough
Another thing to love about the RIX DBH D6 is the fact that it is built to handle unforgiving conditions and the hard use that you would expect to accompany demanding nocturnal hunts.
The scope itself is made with an IP67 waterproof housing, making it ideal for use outdoors even in high-humidity and in precipitation; the same rating seals it off against particulate intrusion which makes it ideal in dry, dusty and sandy conditions.
This thermal scope is also highly impact resistant, capable of withstanding impacts of up to 1000g, which not only makes it physically tough and jostling-resistant, but able to handle the recoil of fairly large calibers such as 12 gauge slug guns and 375 H&H, all without a hiccup.
This durability safeguards your investment in this thermal optic and is a welcome attribute considering the high expense of most thermal scopes.
Easy Operation, Intuitive Design
The RIX DBH D6 boasts numerous features that make it not only easy but intuitive to operate, even in low light conditions and complete darkness. Among these features are a dual side focusing structure with 250° of rotation, along with a quick throw zoom lever that makes getting a closer view of a target effortless.
Optimized for Hunters
In addition to the easy-operation features of this RIX thermal scope, it is complete with a number of other features and optimizations for hunters. For instance, this thermal rifle scope features an integrated green laser that helps with marking downed game, as well as a 1200 yard laser rangefinder that, along with the ballistic calculator, can help you make better-informed decisions about what shots to take - and when to reposition.
Additional Features
In addition to the features covered here, this RIX thermal scope is outfitted with numerous other features that improve its overall performance and value.
Among these are a built-in microphone as well as photo and video recording capabilities, as well as playback. This scope is also capable of recoil-activated video, which, if you utilize, optimizes your recording space and prevents you from accidentally forgetting to record.
To support its photo and video recording capabilities, the RIX DBH D6 is equipped with 64GB of internal storage, to ensure you have enough space to capture every critical moment of each hunt before you get back home to download it all.
The DBH D6 also supports a PiP, or picture-in-picture function that allows the user to keep a close view of the intended target without sacrificing overall awareness of the entire field of view.
In addition, this RIX thermal scope has built-in Wi-Fi capabilities, which, in addition to enabling easy pairing with the RIX+ app, supports livestreaming video to mobile devices as well as wireless software updates.
Who Should Get This RIX Thermal Scope?
Anyone who is in the market for a new thermal rifles cope for nocturnal hunts can benefit from the DBH D6, but if you’re looking for a high-quality waterproof and dustproof scope with a long lifespan, batteries that are easy to replace in the dark, with a built-in ballistic calculator and compatibility with a powerful mobile app, then this is an excellent thermal scope by any yardstick - whether you’re of fan of the RIX brand or not.
If you’re looking for a thermal monocular instead, but are familiar with RIX products, then a solid option is the RIX TITAN T6, which is optimized for handheld thermal scanning and scouting rather than for use as a dedicated thermal rifle scope.
