NocPix BOLT L35R Thermal Imaging Scope with LRF

The BOLT L35R uses a 384×288 thermal detector with a 12μm pixel pitch. This provides a significant increase in native image information compared with the 256×192 detector used in the BOLT P25R.

The higher sensor resolution helps provide better definition of animals, terrain and surrounding vegetation, particularly as viewing distance increases or digital magnification is applied.

Thermal sensitivity is rated at ≤20mK NETD. NETD describes the detector's ability to distinguish very small differences in temperature: the lower the figure, the smaller the temperature difference the detector can resolve.

This becomes particularly important in difficult thermal conditions such as mild nights, damp weather, mist and overcast conditions, where the temperature difference between an animal and its surroundings can be relatively small.

The L35R combines its 384×288 detector with a 35mm F1.0 germanium objective lens.

Its 3.5× base magnification provides useful native target scale for medium-distance observation without making the field of view excessively narrow. Digital magnification extends the available magnification range to 14×.

The field of view is approximately 7.5° × 5.7°, equivalent to around 13.2 × 9.9 metres at 100 metres.

This gives the L35R a useful balance for mixed terrain. It is more focused than a very wide-field scanning optic but still gives enough surrounding scene information to locate and follow animals effectively.

NocPix specifies a thermal detection range of approximately 1,800 metres for the BOLT L35R.

Detection range should not be confused with identification range. At the maximum detection distance, the thermal system is intended to establish that a suitably sized heat source is present. Positive identification requires substantially more image detail and therefore takes place at a shorter distance.

Actual usable distance also depends on target size, weather, humidity, temperature contrast, terrain and the level of identification required.

The BOLT L35R incorporates a laser rangefinder directly into the riflescope rather than requiring a separate handheld unit.

The LRF can measure distance out to a manufacturer-stated maximum of 1,200 metres under suitable conditions.

Accurate ranging is particularly valuable when using thermal equipment because darkness removes many of the visual references normally used to judge distance.

Integrating the rangefinder into the scope means the target can be detected, observed and ranged without moving away from the thermal image or reaching for a separate device.

The integrated laser rangefinder works alongside the BOLT's ballistic calculation functionality.

Once the relevant ballistic information has been configured, the system can use measured target distance together with the selected ballistic profile to calculate an aiming solution.

This is particularly useful where shooting distances vary and helps remove some of the guesswork associated with manually estimating holdover.

Ballistic calculation is an aid rather than a substitute for confirming rifle zero, ammunition performance and trajectory. Any ballistic profile should be verified with the actual rifle and ammunition combination before relying on it in the field.

The thermal image is presented through a high-resolution AMOLED display designed to provide a clear, high-contrast view through the eyepiece.

AMOLED technology provides strong blacks and good contrast, which suits thermal imagery where small differences between the target and background need to remain clearly visible.

The BOLT platform also provides multiple thermal colour palettes, allowing the image presentation to be changed to suit the environment and personal preference.

Different palettes can be useful in different circumstances: high-contrast modes can make initial detection easier, while less intense viewing modes may be more comfortable during extended observation.

The BOLT L35R uses a dual-battery power system designed for extended use in the field.

The scope incorporates a built-in 5000mAh rechargeable battery together with a replaceable rechargeable 18650 battery. This provides the convenience of internal power while still allowing a depleted removable battery to be exchanged for a charged spare.

NocPix rates the BOLT series for extended operating time, with runtime dependent on the exact model, ambient temperature and use of power-intensive functions.

Features such as Wi-Fi, recording, frequent laser ranging and low ambient temperatures can reduce real-world battery life.

The replaceable-battery design is particularly useful for longer sessions because additional charged 18650 batteries can be carried rather than relying solely on the internal battery.

The BOLT L35R can capture thermal photographs and video directly through the scope, allowing significant observations or shots to be recorded without a separate camera.

Audio recording is also supported.

Recoil Activated Video can automatically preserve footage around a shot, reducing the need to manually start a recording immediately before taking it.

Wireless connectivity allows the scope to communicate with compatible NocPix mobile functionality through the N-LINK app, providing access to supported media, device and connectivity features.

The BOLT L35R provides selectable reticle options and zeroing functionality so the display can be configured for the rifle and shooting application.

Multiple zeroing or weapon profiles are useful where the optic may be used with different ammunition configurations or moved between compatible setups.

As with any thermal riflescope, the zero should be confirmed after installation and rechecked whenever the mounting arrangement, rifle or ammunition configuration changes.

One of the main advantages of the BOLT series is its conventional riflescope-style format.

Rather than using the short, box-shaped layout found on many thermal sights, the BOLT places its controls, eyepiece and objective in a familiar scope-shaped body.

This makes the transition from a conventional optical riflescope more natural and allows the optic to be positioned to achieve suitable eye relief and shooting position.

Always use correctly sized, good-quality scope mounts suitable for the rifle and rail system being used, and confirm mounting compatibility before installation.

The BOLT L35R is designed for outdoor field use and carries an IP67 ingress-protection rating.

The aluminium-alloy body provides a strong housing while helping keep the riflescope practical for use on a rifle.

Its operating design is intended to cope with the changing temperatures and weather conditions associated with night shooting and thermal observation.

As with any precision thermal optic, lens surfaces, seals and connection ports should still be kept clean and protected when the unit is not in use.

P25R: the most accessible BOLT and a good choice where price, compact dimensions and shorter typical viewing distances are the priorities.

L35R: the middle ground. Its 384×288 detector gives a meaningful improvement in native thermal detail while retaining a lower price than the H50R.

H50R: the premium BOLT. Its 640×512 detector, improved thermal sensitivity, 60Hz refresh rate and 50mm lens provide the highest image quality in the range.

The L35R is particularly well suited to users who want a dedicated thermal riflescope with integrated ranging and ballistic functionality but do not need the cost or resolution of a 640×512 model.

Its 35mm lens and 3.5× base magnification make it a strong choice for mixed shooting ground where typical viewing distances vary between relatively close and more open-field situations.

It is also a logical upgrade from lower-resolution 256×192 thermal equipment because the 384×288 detector contains more than twice as many thermal pixels.

If wide-field close-range observation and minimum cost are the priorities, consider the BOLT P25R. If maximum image quality and greater long-range detail are the priority, the 640×512 BOLT H50R is the model to consider.
