To state this directly, the new LPR L6R is one of the most advanced thermal scopes on the market at this time. But what makes this RIX thermal scope so unique? Let’s take a closer look at some of the most important features and specifications of this new model.
Sensitivity and Clarity
The new LPR L6R RIX thermal scope is powered by a 640x512 thermal sensor with a NETD rating of 12mK or better and has a 50mm F0.9 lens. It is fast, sensitive, and delivers exceptional image clarity for more rapid, more confident target detection and identification, two things that are crucial when hunting under cover of complete darkness.
Fully Adjustable Rangefinding, Reticle Aligned Rangefinding
One of the most unique attributes of this RIX thermal scope is that it offers fully adjustable rangefinding, giving you the flexibility to position the LRF box anywhere on the display screen. This gives you complete control over how you range the target, but most importantly, it allows for reticle-aligned rangefinding.
Specifically, you can calibrate with the rangefinder pointing directly to your reticle, synchronizing your aiming point. This gives you the flexibility to range and aim naturally, and in sync, without needing to range the target and then reacquire it with your rifle, which can create disruptions.
Also, this thermal scope offers a green laser that serves as an assist to the rangefinder, providing a visual reference point to ensure that you are ranging the target accurately, helping to prevent errors.
Moreover, the LRF that’s integrated with this RIX thermal scope has a detection range of over 2000 yards; that’s more than a mile, and it delivers accurate rangefinding estimations in adverse conditions, including in rain, snow and fog.
Continuous Optical and Digital Zoom
Another massive value-added feature of this RIX thermal scope is that it offers both digital and optical zoom, which is something that very few other thermal rifle scopes offer. This alone, even if you don’t account for its reticle aligned rangefinding, makes the LPR L6R one of the best thermal scopes available at the present time.
More importantly, it offers continuous optical zoom from 3-9x, delivering exceptional visual clarity. With digital-only zoom, there is a loss of sight picture quality as you zoom in because digital zoom just enlarges the image captured, it doesn’t actually optically zoom in using a lens. This scope uses lenses to optically enlarge the picture, delivering next-level sight picture quality that cannot be offered with digital zoom alone.
That being said, this RIX thermal scope offers digital zoom capabilities as well. On top of its continuous optical zoom, it offers an additional 1-4x digital zoom on top of that, giving you instant ability to digitally magnify your target for a better view for gathering information, assessing the movement and direction of the target, or even for executing a shot.
And, the great thing about the design of this RIX thermal scope is that the controls for both the optical and digital zoom features are integrated into one intuitive control system, so you don’t need to fumble between different controls when you need to get more reach and see a target more closely.
Real-Time Environmental Data Monitoring
Another great thing about this RIX thermal scope is that it enables real-time environmental data monitoring for factors and conditions such as temperature, humidity, and even air pressure.
The reason this is so critical is because this thermal scope also has an onboard ballistic calculator, and atmospheric conditions such as these can have an impact on bullet flight and behavior, however minimal. That said, these effects do impact bullet flight and the effects are magnified as range increases.
Factoring in these considerations helps result in a ballistic calculator that is more precise, enabling accurate shot placement, time after time, even at great ranges. Smart ballistics are the future and this RIX thermal scope delivers.
Lightweight Design, Superior Durability
The RIX LPR L6R is made with a magnesium alloy body that is 30% lighter, making this thermal scope easier to handle, carry, and shoulder, reducing fatigue during long nights in the field, especially if you move around a lot during your hunts. Thermal scopes can be notoriously heavy but this one sheds ounces where it counts, reducing fatigue, keeping you on the hunt for longer.
Onboard Storage
The RIX LPR L6R comes with the onboard storage you need to capture the vital moments from your night hunts; with 64GB of onboard storage, you’ll have plenty of room to store video and pictures so you can review what happened during the night and refine your hunt for more success on future outings.
Compatibility with Common Rechargeable Batteries
The RIX LPR L6R is compatible with powerful rechargeable lithium batteries; it can accept either 18650 or 21700 style batteries and can deliver a battery life of up to 5.5 hours under favorable conditions.
It’s Ideal for a Wide Range of Users and Applications
The bottom line is that this RIX thermal scope is optimized to support a wide range of different applications and use cases. It’s ideal for hog hunters, predator hunters, precision hunters and all other serious night hunters, even under adverse conditions including but not limited to rain, fog, and high humidity.
