The Rix Optics Storm S3 V2 384 Thermal Riflescope (brand part no. STORMS3RV2) pairs a 384×288 thermal sensor with a 35mm objective lens and a built-in laser rangefinder, giving hunters and predator callers a complete night-vision-free solution for finding and ranging game in total darkness. Rix Optics built the S3 V2 around a 12-micron pixel pitch VOx sensor with sub-15mK thermal sensitivity, so it resolves heat signatures against cool backgrounds with real clarity rather than a washed-out blob. The onboard rangefinder reports exact yardage without a separate device, and the sharp 1024×768 OLED display gives a clean sight picture whether shooters choose a simple dot or one of the unit’s many reticle options. Built for hog hunting, predator control, and any low-light application where a traditional scope falls short, the Storm S3 V2 is rated to detect a target out to roughly 1800 meters.
