NocPix RICO2 H50R Thermal Imaging Scope with LRF

The H50R is arguably the most versatile model in the RICO2 range. Its 640×512 sensor and 50mm lens give it excellent image quality and strong longer-distance capability while still providing a wider field of view than the 75mm H75R.

It starts at 3× magnification and shows approximately 15.4 × 11.5m at 100m, making it easier to use across mixed terrain than the more specialised H75R.

If price is the main consideration, look at the L42R. If your priority is longer-distance performance with a 640 sensor, consider the H75R. If you want the highest-resolution RICO2, the S75R is the flagship choice.

The four RICO2 models differ primarily in sensor resolution, objective lens size, magnification, field of view and detection range.

*Detection range figures are manufacturer-stated under specified conditions. Detection distance should not be confused with positive identification range.

L42R: The most accessible RICO2, with a 384×288 sensor and 42mm lens.

H50R: The versatile 640×512 option, with a 50mm lens, low 3× base magnification and wide field of view.

H75R: The long-range 640×512 model, with a large 75mm objective and 4–32× magnification.

S75R: The flagship RICO2, combining the 75mm objective with a much higher-resolution 1280×1024 sensor.

The H50R is a significant upgrade over the L42R. Sensor resolution increases from 384×288 to 640×512, while thermal sensitivity improves from ≤18mK to ≤15mK.

The objective lens increases from 42mm to 50mm, yet the H50R actually starts at a lower 3× magnification rather than 4×. This gives the H50R a much wider 15.4 × 11.5m field of view compared with approximately 11 × 8.2m from the L42R.

Manufacturer-stated detection range also increases from approximately 2,200m to 2,600m.

Choose L42R if price matters most. Choose H50R if better image detail, greater thermal sensitivity and wider viewing justify the step up.

The H50R and H75R use the same 640×512, 12μm sensor with ≤15mK NETD, so the biggest difference is the objective lens and resulting optical characteristics.

The H50R uses a 50mm F1.0 lens with 3–24× magnification and approximately 15.4 × 11.5m field of view at 100m.

The H75R increases the objective to 75mm and magnification to 4–32×, but field of view narrows to approximately 10.2 × 8.2m at 100m.

Choose H50R if you want the more versatile 640 model for mixed distances. Choose H75R if your priority is longer-distance observation across open ground.

The S75R represents the major performance step above the H50R. Sensor resolution increases from 640×512 to 1280×1024, while objective size increases from 50mm to 75mm.

A 1280×1024 detector contains four times as many pixels as a 640×512 detector, giving the S75R substantially more thermal image information.

The larger sensor also allows the S75R to provide a very wide 20.5 × 16.4m field of view at 100m despite its 75mm objective.

Choose H50R if premium 640×512 performance gives you everything you need. Choose S75R if maximum image resolution and flagship RICO2 performance justify the higher investment.

The H50R combines a 640×512, 12μm thermal detector with ≤15mK thermal sensitivity.

The 640 sensor provides substantially more image information than the 384×288 detector used by the L42R, giving finer thermal detail and helping retain more useful information when digital magnification is applied.

NETD measures the detector's ability to distinguish small differences in temperature. A lower figure generally means greater thermal sensitivity, with the H50R rated at ≤15mK.

The H50R's 50mm F1.0 objective lens gives it a useful balance between longer-distance capability and field of view.

At 3× base magnification it provides approximately 15.4 × 11.5 metres at 100 metres. This is considerably wider than the H75R, making the H50R easier to use where distances and terrain vary.

This combination of 640×512 resolution, 50mm lens and relatively low base magnification is the main reason the H50R is the most versatile RICO2 for many users.

The RICO2 platform uses a stepless zoom lever, allowing magnification to be adjusted progressively rather than relying only on fixed zoom steps.

This makes it easier to quickly move between wider observation and more detailed higher-magnification viewing while selecting the amount of zoom appropriate to the situation.

The RICO2 H50R includes an integrated laser rangefinder with a manufacturer-stated ranging capability of up to 1,200 metres under suitable conditions.

The RICO2 platform also incorporates ballistic calculation functionality, allowing ranging and compatible ballistic information to be handled within the same optic.

The RICO2 H50R has a manufacturer-stated detection range of approximately 2,600 metres under specified test conditions.

Detection range is not the same as identification range. A thermal optic may detect that a heat source is present at considerable distance before there is enough image detail to determine exactly what that heat source is.

Actual useful detail depends on target size, temperature contrast, weather, atmospheric conditions and magnification.

BOLT is the more accessible dedicated thermal scope family and offers a traditional scope-style format across several sensor resolutions.

ACE is the premium all-round family, offering conventional 30mm tube models as well as dedicated ACE RM rail-mount versions and flagship 1280×1024 configurations.

RICO2 places more emphasis on longer-distance performance, with 50mm and 75mm objectives, integrated LRF, ballistic functionality and dedicated Picatinny mounting.

The H50R is particularly attractive if you want premium 640×512 RICO2 performance while retaining greater versatility and a wider field of view than the 75mm models.

What sensor does the NocPix RICO2 H50R use?
It uses a 640×512, 12μm thermal sensor with ≤15mK thermal sensitivity.

What is the detection range of the RICO2 H50R?
The manufacturer-stated detection range is approximately 2,600 metres under specified test conditions.

Does the RICO2 H50R have a laser rangefinder?
Yes. It includes an integrated LRF with a manufacturer-stated ranging capability of up to 1,200 metres.

What is the difference between the H50R and H75R?
Both use 640×512 sensors, but the H75R uses a larger 75mm objective, 4–32× magnification and a narrower field of view, making it more strongly focused on longer-distance use.

What is the difference between the H50R and S75R?
The S75R moves to a flagship 1280×1024 sensor and 75mm objective, while the H50R uses a 640×512 sensor and 50mm objective.

Is a scope mount included with the RICO2 H50R?
Yes. A dedicated dual-throw Picatinny scope mount is included, so you do not need conventional scope rings if your rifle already has a compatible Picatinny rail.

Will the RICO2 H50R fit an 11mm dovetail?
Not directly with the supplied mount. A rifle with an 11mm dovetail requires a suitable dovetail-to-Picatinny adaptor first.

Does the H50R use 30mm scope rings?
No. The RICO2 H50R uses its supplied dedicated Picatinny mounting system rather than conventional 30mm scope rings.

How long is the NocPix warranty?
NocPix's standard warranty provides 3 years on the main device, 2 years on the battery and 10 years on the thermal detector, subject to the manufacturer's warranty terms.

A dedicated dual-throw Picatinny scope mount is included with the NocPix RICO2 H50R. The H50R does not use a conventional 30mm scope tube or separate scope rings.

If your rifle has a Picatinny rail: the supplied RICO2 mount is designed to attach to a compatible Picatinny rail, so no additional scope rings are required.

If your rifle has an 11mm dovetail rail: the supplied Picatinny mount will not attach directly. You will need a suitable 11mm dovetail-to-Picatinny adaptor fitted to the rifle first, after which the supplied RICO2 mount can be attached.

Do not select a 30mm Hawke match mount for this scope. The RICO2 H50R uses its own dedicated supplied mounting system.

If you are unsure whether your rifle has an 11mm dovetail or Picatinny rail, or which adaptor you require, contact Bamfords before ordering and we can help confirm the correct mounting arrangement.

The NocPix RICO2 H50R uses a rechargeable battery system designed to allow batteries to be changed in the field, making it practical for longer shooting sessions without having to stop and recharge the scope itself.

For extended use, a charged spare battery can be carried and swapped when required. Actual operating time will vary depending on temperature and the use of power-intensive features such as video recording, Wi-Fi, the laser rangefinder and ballistic calculation.
