NocPix BOLT H50R Thermal Imaging Scope with LRF

The BOLT H50R features a 640 × 512 VOx thermal imaging detector with a 12μm pixel pitch, providing 327,680 native thermal pixels.

Its ≤18mK NETD sensitivity helps distinguish small temperature differences under specified test conditions, supporting detailed thermal observation when the temperature contrast between a subject and its surroundings is limited.

Compared with the 384 × 288 BOLT L35R, the H50R captures almost three times as many native thermal pixels. Compared with the 256 × 192 P25R, it captures more than six times as many.

The 60Hz refresh rate provides smoother image updates than the 50Hz detectors fitted to the P25R and L35R.

Actual image quality depends on weather, humidity, subject size, temperature contrast and viewing distance.

The H50R features a 50mm germanium objective lens with a fast F1.0 aperture.

The objective collects thermal radiation and focuses it onto the 640 × 512 detector, supporting detailed thermal observation across medium and longer distances.

Compared with the 25mm P25R and 35mm L35R, the H50R's longer focal length and higher-resolution sensor provide a different balance of magnification, image detail and viewing area.

The adjustable objective focus allows the image to be refined for different observation distances.

NocPix specifies a maximum thermal detection distance of approximately 2,600 metres for the BOLT H50R.

This is based on the manufacturer's reference target under specified test conditions.

Detection refers to establishing the presence of a thermal target. It does not mean positively identifying a particular subject at the maximum stated distance.

Actual detection and identification performance depends on target size, temperature contrast, weather and atmospheric conditions.

The thermal detection distance is separate from the integrated laser rangefinder's maximum measuring distance of 1,200 metres.

The BOLT H50R provides a magnification range of 3–24×.

Its angular field of view is 8.8° × 7.0°, equivalent to approximately 15 × 12 metres at 100 metres.

The 3× starting magnification provides a practical viewing area for observation, while higher digital magnification settings allow smaller sections of the thermal image to be examined.

Increasing digital magnification narrows the visible area and does not increase the detector's native resolution.

The BOLT H50R incorporates an integrated Class 1 laser rangefinder with a manufacturer-stated maximum measuring distance of 1,200 metres.

The periscope-style rangefinder is built into the scope body, allowing distance information to be obtained without switching to a separate handheld device.

Measured distance can also be used by the onboard ballistic calculation system.

Actual rangefinding performance depends on target reflectivity, viewing angle, weather and atmospheric conditions.

The BOLT H50R includes ballistic calculation functionality designed to work alongside the integrated laser rangefinder.

When appropriate ballistic information has been configured, the system can use measured distance to calculate an estimated aiming correction.

Correct zeroing, accurate ballistic information and appropriate verification are essential for meaningful results.

Ballistic calculation is an additional aid rather than a replacement for proper equipment setup and responsible use.

The BOLT H50R uses NocPix Reality+ image processing technology to enhance the presentation of the thermal image.

The system is designed to improve perceived image detail and contrast, helping users distinguish thermal subjects from surrounding terrain.

Ultra Clear Mode provides an additional image-processing option for challenging viewing conditions.

These technologies work alongside the native 640 × 512 detector and do not change its physical resolution.

The H50R features a 0.39-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels.

The display presents the processed thermal image, reticle, laser rangefinder information and device menus.

The scope provides 50mm eye relief, a 10mm exit pupil and dioptre adjustment from -5D to +5D.

These features are designed to provide comfortable viewing and practical eye positioning during observation.

The NocPix BOLT H50R uses a conventional 30mm riflescope mounting tube.

This means it can be fitted using suitable 30mm scope rings or a compatible 30mm one-piece mount, unlike the dedicated mounting system used by the RICO 2 range.

Bamfords Online offers a free set of Hawke Match Mounts with this scope.

• Tube diameter: 30mm
• Required ring diameter: 30mm
• Mounting format: conventional riflescope rings
• Rail compatibility: dependent on the selected mounts
• Free Hawke Match Mounts: available with this scope

When choosing mounts, ensure that the rail fitting matches your rifle and that the ring height provides adequate clearance for the objective housing.

If you are unsure whether you need dovetail or Picatinny mounts, contact Bamfords Online before ordering and we can help identify the appropriate option.

The BOLT H50R uses a dual-battery power system consisting of a built-in 5,000mAh rechargeable battery and an additional removable rechargeable 18650 battery.

This arrangement combines an internal power supply with the convenience of a replaceable battery for extended use.

The manufacturer's standard BOLT package includes two rechargeable 18650 batteries and a compatible battery charger.

NocPix specifies a maximum operating time of up to 9 hours for the H50R under reference test conditions at approximately 22°C.

Actual runtime depends on ambient temperature, display settings, Wi-Fi, recording and laser rangefinder usage.

The scope also supports USB Type-C charging and compatible external power.

Only use rechargeable batteries meeting the manufacturer's specifications and follow the supplied charging instructions.

The BOLT H50R includes 64GB of internal storage for photographs and video recordings.

Recording features include photo capture, video recording, audio recording through the built-in microphone and recoil-activated video recording.

Picture-in-picture functionality allows an enlarged portion of the thermal image to be displayed while retaining a wider view of the surrounding scene.

N-LINK wireless connectivity supports compatible mobile device functions.

USB Type-C connectivity provides supported charging and data-transfer functionality.

The BOLT H50R provides seven selectable thermal colour palettes.

These allow the appearance of the thermal image to be adjusted according to viewing conditions and personal preference.

Different palettes can make it easier to examine temperature differences, surrounding terrain or the outline of a thermal subject.

Additional image adjustment settings and Ultra Clear Mode provide further control over the displayed thermal picture.

The BOLT H50R features a one-piece high-strength aluminium alloy housing designed for demanding outdoor use.

Its IP67 rating provides protection against dust ingress and temporary water immersion under the conditions specified by the rating.

NocPix specifies recoil resistance up to 6,000 joules and an operating temperature range of -20°C to +50°C.

Correct mounting, suitable battery care and routine maintenance remain important for reliable operation.

The H50R is the higher-resolution option, while the L35R offers a more affordable alternative with the same integrated rangefinder and ballistic calculation functions.

The H50R provides substantially higher thermal resolution, a longer detection range and smoother 60Hz image updates.

The L35R offers the core BOLT functionality at a lower price and with a longer manufacturer-stated maximum battery runtime.

The P25R is the entry-level BOLT model, while the H50R is designed for customers who prioritise higher-resolution thermal imaging and longer-distance observation.

The H50R provides more than six times the native thermal pixels of the P25R, together with a larger objective lens and substantially longer stated detection distance.

The P25R remains a practical option for customers seeking a more accessible entry into thermal riflescopes with integrated laser rangefinding.
