Why Choose the Rix STORM S3R?

• 384×288 thermal sensor for reliable detection and identification
• Built-in laser rangefinder (LRF) for accurate distance measurement
• Ballistic calculator support for improved shot placement
• 3.5x base magnification with 1–4x digital zoom
• Detection range out to approximately 1800m
• Ideal for mid to long-range pig, fox and deer hunting

Longer Range Thermal Performance

The STORM S3R is built around a 384×288 thermal sensor with <25mK sensitivity, delivering stable detection and clear thermal imaging in real hunting conditions. Combined with higher base magnification, it allows better identification of animals at distance compared to lower magnification models.

Rangefinder & Ballistic Capability

The integrated laser rangefinder provides accurate distance readings out to around 1200m, allowing confident decision-making in the field. Paired with ballistic support, the system helps improve shot placement and consistency at longer ranges.

Higher Magnification for Distance

With a 3.5x base magnification, the S3R is better suited to longer-range detection and shooting compared to wide-angle scopes. It allows you to focus on distant targets more clearly while still maintaining usable digital zoom when needed.

Clear & Stable Viewing

A 1024×768 AOLED display provides a sharp and stable image, allowing clear target identification and improved tracking. The 50Hz refresh rate ensures smooth viewing when scanning or following moving animals.

Built for Real Hunting Conditions

The STORM S3R is lightweight at around 1lb and built for practical use in the field. With IP67 weather protection, recoil resistance and a replaceable 18650 battery system, it’s designed for reliable performance across a full night of hunting.
