Nocpix RICO 2 H50R Thermal Imaging Rifle Scope
High-quality thermal imaging technology for long-range hunting

The Nocpix RICO 2 H50R was developed for hunters who want to leave no room for doubt at longer ranges. This premium thermal imaging rifle scope combines an extremely sensitive 640×512 Gen-2 sensor, a fast 50 mm F1.0 lens, an integrated laser rangefinder with a range of up to 1,200 meters, and automatic ballistic calculation.

As such, the RICO 2 H50R offers exactly what is needed for reliable observation, careful targeting, and controlled shooting in darkness, fog, precipitation, and low-contrast conditions.

The combination of a detection range of up to 2,600 meters, a smooth frame rate of 60 Hz, and a high-quality AMOLED display makes this model particularly well-suited for hunters, wildlife managers, and professional users who require speed, detail, and precision in a single system.

Gen-2 sensor with a thermal sensitivity of ≤15 mK

At the heart of the Nocpix RICO 2 H50R is the second-generation 640×512 thermal imaging sensor with a pixel pitch of 12 μm and an exceptionally low NETD of ≤15 mK.

A low NETD means that the sensor can detect very small temperature differences. This advantage is particularly noticeable when conditions are less favorable, for example:

• in high humidity;
• during light fog or drizzle;
• against a warm background;
• when game is partially hidden behind vegetation;
• During observation just before sunrise.

Whereas simpler thermal imaging scopes display a flat or poorly detailed image in such situations, the RICO 2 H50R retains sharper contours and more detail in animals, the ground, and vegetation.

This not only allows you to detect targets sooner, but—more importantly—to better assess what you’re actually seeing.

50 mm F1.0 lens for an excellent balance between range and field of view

The fast 50 mm F1.0 lens offers an excellent combination of detection range, detail reproduction, and practical field of view.

With a detection range of up to 2,600 meters, the RICO 2 H50R is suitable for use in:

• open agricultural fields;
• vast grasslands;
• wide forest edges;
• heathlands;
• wildakkers;
• large, damage-prone plots.

The lens captures a wealth of thermal information, ensuring that the image remains clear and high-contrast even at greater distances.

At the same time, the field of view remains wide enough to scan the terrain and track moving game. This makes the H50R more versatile than models with an extremely long focal length, which often provide a narrower field of view at closer ranges.

Smooth 60 Hz image display

The 60 Hz frame rate ensures a steady and smooth display of moving game.

This is especially relevant when:

• a fox moves quickly through tall grass;
• Wild boars were crossing the edge of the forest;
• as you move the weapon along with the target;
• when observing from a vehicle or an elevated position;
• the target changes position in the short term.

At a lower refresh rate, movements may appear jerky, causing details to be lost and making tracking feel less natural.
The RICO 2 H50R renders movements instantly and smoothly, making observation and aiming noticeably more comfortable.

Continuously variable zoom from 3x to 24x

The Nocpix RICO 2 H50R features a continuously adjustable zoom lever that allows you to adjust the magnification quickly and accurately.

The magnification ranges from 3x to 24x. This allows you to first scan the area with a broad overview and then gradually zoom in for a more precise assessment or shot placement.

The stepless adjustment prevents abrupt jumps between fixed magnification settings. This keeps the target better in view and allows you to precisely adjust the magnification to:

• the distance;
• the size of the game;
• the available time;
• the desired level of detail;
• the shooting position.

This is especially useful at varying distances, such as when game moves from a distant forest edge closer to a feeding area or field.

Integrated laser rangefinder with a range of up to 1,200 meters

Estimating distance in complete darkness is difficult, especially in open terrain without recognizable landmarks. The integrated LRF laser rangefinder measures distances up to 1,200 meters.

Because the rangefinder is integrated into the riflescope’s optical axis, the system remains compact, and measurements are taken in the same direction of view as your observation.

This eliminates the need to switch between a separate rangefinder and your rifle scope. That saves time and minimizes unnecessary movement when game is in your sights.

The distance information helps you:

• determine distances to objects;
• to monitor your maximum shooting range;
• to correctly assess the bullet's trajectory;
• to prevent an irresponsible shot;
• make a well-informed decision more quickly.

Built-in ballistic calculation

The Nocpix RICO 2 H50R combines rangefinding with an integrated ballistic calculator.

After measuring the distance, the system can calculate a correction based on the preset ballistic data. This helps you assess the point of impact at various distances.

This is especially important for long-range shots, where even a small miscalculation can have a major impact on the bullet’s trajectory.

The ballistic function is no substitute for proper sight-in, experience, or responsible shooting practices, but it does provide additional information when every meter counts.

Large AMOLED display with 2560×2560 pixels

The high-quality 1.03-inch AMOLED display has a resolution of 2560×2560 pixels and delivers a sharp, high-contrast, and wide field of view.

The high display resolution ensures that the information from the sensor is displayed in as much detail as possible. You’ll notice this especially during extended observation, precise targeting, and when using higher magnifications.

The low-distortion optical design contributes to a natural and smooth image, without the tunnel-like effect that can occur with simpler riflescopes.

Comfortable and safe eye relief

The RICO 2 H50R has an eye relief of 60 mm and a large exit pupil of 23 mm.

This combination makes it easier to quickly get a clear picture when you raise your weapon. In addition, there is still sufficient distance between your eye and the eyepiece.

This is important for:

• use of heavier hunting calibers;
• shooting from less stable positions;
• For use with thick winter clothing;
• long-term observation from a tree stand;
• Quickly switch between observing and shooting.

A well-designed eye relief not only increases comfort but also contributes to a consistent and safe shooting stance.

Compact and relatively lightweight for its class

Weighing 926 grams including the battery, the Nocpix RICO 2 H50R remains remarkably easy to handle for a thermal imaging scope with a 50 mm objective lens, integrated LRF, and ballistic calculator.

With dimensions of 296 × 78 × 76 mm, the system is suitable for mounting on various hunting rifles without making the combination unnecessarily bulky.

The reduced weight is especially noticeable during:

• longer wait;
• ongoing land management;
• nighttime observation patrols;
• prolonged carrying of the firearm;
• Quickly switch between different shooting positions.

As a result, the H50R offers a strong balance between performance, range, and ease of use.

Replaceable battery for practical use in the field

The RICO 2 H50R uses a removable 4400 mAh battery and has a maximum runtime of approximately 5.5 hours at 22 °C.

In practice, a removable battery offers more reliability than a permanently built-in power source. During longer hunting nights, you can easily bring a spare battery and continue using the system without having to rely on a power bank or charging station.

In cold conditions, it’s a good idea to keep spare batteries warm and dry, as low temperatures can affect the runtime of any battery.

Photo, video, and trigger-activated recording

The Nocpix RICO 2 H50R features:

• photo;
• video recording;
• RAV recording;
• 32 GB internal memory;
• WiFi;
• App connectivity.

With the RAV function, the scope can automatically sync recordings to the moment of the shot. This allows you to review relevant hunting situations later without having to manually start the recording every time.

The 32 GB internal storage capacity provides ample space for footage, while the Wi-Fi and app features make it easier to manage files or check settings.

Practical for use in hunting and wildlife management

On open farmland

When controlling wildlife damage in large fields, the combination of a 2,600-meter detection range and a 1,200-meter LRF offers a clear advantage. You can detect heat sources early, measure the distance precisely, and then determine whether it’s necessary to get closer.

Along wide forest edges

At the edge of a forest, you need to quickly distinguish between game, vegetation, and warm tree trunks. The NETD of ≤15 mK helps keep subtle contrast differences visible, even when the background temperature is close to the animal’s body temperature.

During a nighttime fox hunt

A fox often moves quickly and uses cover cleverly. The 60 Hz image display makes it easier to smoothly track movement, while the stepless zoom helps you switch from observing the terrain to accurately assessing your target.

When hunting wild boars at varying distances

When a herd moves from distant cover toward a feeding area, you can maintain a broad overview with 3x magnification and then zoom in carefully. The rangefinder and ballistic calculator help you make a careful assessment before deciding to shoot.
