Rix Mounts
RIX mounts are the factory mounts for RIX thermal optics, built for each line so your optic sits at the right height and comes off the rifle quickly. Everything here is a RIX part, matched by model.
LEAP and TOURER
Two quick detach Picatinny mounts fit the LEAP and TOURER scopes. The QDM-L01 has a 1.5-inch height and the QDM-L02 a 1.59-inch height. The taller one helps when your stock puts your eye higher or you need extra clearance over a barrel or handguard. The lower one keeps the scope closer to the bore.
STORM
The new style RIX Quick Detach Picatinny Mount fits both the STORM V1 and STORM V2, so it works with the Storm S3R V2 and S6R V2 thermal scopes as well as first-generation Storms.
STRIDE
The RIX Mount for STRIDE Series (BM-01) is made for the STRIDE monocular line, so you can attach it to a helmet mount instead of holding it.
To choose, start with your RIX model, then pick the height that lines your eye up with the center of the screen when your cheek is on the stock. Check it with the rifle shouldered, not sitting on the bench. Add a DNO eyecup with shutter from eye cups and lens caps, or compare Nocpix mounts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you add thermal to an existing scope?
Yes, with a thermal clip-on. A clip-on mounts in front of your day scope and gives it a thermal image without removing it or changing the zero. The RIX mounts on this page are for dedicated RIX thermal scopes, so if you'd rather keep your glass, look at the units in our thermal clip-on category.
Who makes the best thermal scope for the money?
No single maker wins at every budget. RIX and Nocpix are the two brands we carry the most of, and both cover compact scopes through long-range models. Pick the scope that fits your shooting distance and rifle first, then add the factory mount made for it, such as the RIX QDM-L01 or QDM-L02 for LEAP and TOURER.
Are RIX thermal scopes good?
RIX is one of our main thermal brands, and we carry its LEAP, TOURER, STORM and STRIDE lines. Part of what makes a RIX setup work is the factory mount: each line has a quick detach mount sized for it, so the optic sits at the right height and comes off the rifle fast. Real people answer our phone at (309) 781-8421 if you want help choosing a model.
Can you hunt deer at night with a thermal scope?
In most states, no. Night deer hunting is usually illegal, and some states limit thermal optics for deer even in daylight, so check your state's regulations first. Where thermal shines is hogs, coyotes and other predators after dark. A quick detach RIX mount lets you take the scope off for deer season and put it back on for night predator hunts.
