The RIX STORM S3R is a compact thermal imaging riflescope delivering excellent entry-level value for South African hunters entering the thermal optics market. Lightweight and reliable, it provides effective nocturnal hunting performance for predator and small game control at ranges up to 300m.

COMPACT LRF WITH FREE BALLISTICS

The S3R and S6R feature a built-in laser rangefinder, redesigned with advanced technology to be more compact without adding weight or affecting usability. Despite its compact size, it delivers a detection range of up to 1,312 yards with high precision of ±1 meter (1.09 yards). It also comes with a free ballistic calculator, significantly boosting long-range shooting accuracy.

≤1LB — READY IN HAND OR ON RIFLE

Built for mobility, the STORM series is ultra-light—even the S3R and S6R weigh just 1lb, so you can use them handheld without wearing out your arm. Every unit includes a free QD mount for quick and easy rifle setup.

POWERFUL BASE MAGNIFICATION

The S3R features a powerful 3.5× base magnification, delivering outstanding long-range detection up to 1,969 yards. The S6R starts at 2×, but even after digital zoom to 3×, it delivers even better image clarity than the S3R—while offering a wider field of view and sharper visuals at closer ranges.

INTUITIVE OPERATING SYSTEM

The enlarged, four-directional button layout makes it easy to identify and operate each control, even when wearing gloves, making it convenient to use as a scanner as well. The device's buttons are directly mapped to the user interface (UI). When you press a button, the corresponding function on the UI lights up, providing a clear indication of which function you have triggered.

RETURN TO CENTER FUNCTION (RTC)

After zeroing, the RTC function will automatically reposition the reticle closer to the center of the x-axis and y-axis. If the deviation from the center position is minimal, it can even realign the reticle directly to the center, enabling you to have a more comfortable field of view and making it easier to maintain focus on the target.

ADJUSTABLE PICTURE-IN-PICTURE (PIP)

Unlike other scopes where the Picture-in-Picture (PIP) image is simply magnified along with the outer image, the STORM allows you to adjust the magnification level of the PIP image independently, enabling users to maintain awareness of the surroundings and improve shooting accuracy using the PIP function.

1000g IMPACT RESISTANCE

The STORM is built to withstand impacts of up to 1000g, making it an excellent choice for hunting weapons with larger calibers such as .375 H&H, 12-gauge, and 9.3×64. Its durable design ensures long-term reliability and remains undamaged even in the most challenging conditions.
