RIX STORM S2 – 256x192 thermal riflescope

The STORM S2 is for those who want a reliable thermal riflescope without paying for features they will not use. It has no rangefinder or optical zoom, but it has everything essential - a clean image, honest durability and controls you will understand in ten minutes.

408 grams on the rifle

Weight matters more on a riflescope than it seems. The STORM S2 is among the lightest devices in its class, so the rifle stays balanced and carries better during a long wait as well as when stalking.

6-hour battery life

The removable 18650 cell lasts 6 hours. That covers a full ordinary night outing. A spare cell in your pocket means there is no reason to finish early.

Recoil rating

The device is tested to a recoil rating of 1000 g / 6000 J. This is not a number for the catalogue - this is precisely where devices that hold their zero part ways with those that fall apart after a few shots.

Picture-in-picture with its own magnification

Unlike most of the competition, the STORM lets you set the magnification in the PIP window independently of the main image. You keep an overview of the surroundings while zooming in on the target.
