The RIX Storm S3R is a high-performance thermal  scope engineered for the outdoorsman who demands professional-grade versatility without the physical burden of a bulky unit. Weighing in at a remarkably light 440g, the S3R bridges the gap between a dedicated long-range scope and a highly portable handheld scanner.

Equipped with a high-sensitivity <25mK NETD sensor and a precision 35mm F1.0 lens, the S3R delivers a crisp, high-contrast thermal image even in the most challenging South African weather conditions. Whether you are operating in heavy Cape mist, coastal humidity, or the dust of the Karoo, this unit ensures heat signatures remain distinct and well-defined.

Precision Integrated Rangefinding & Ballistics

The Storm S3R features a fully integrated Laser Rangefinder (LRF) that is seamlessly built into the compact chassis, maintaining its streamlined profile. It provides accurate ranging out to 1,200m, removing the guesswork from night-time shooting.

When paired with the unit’s 3.5x base magnification and integrated Ballistic Calculator, the S3R allows for precise, ethical shots on the open plains or in dense bushveld. You no longer need to carry a separate rangefinder; your scope does the math for you.
