NocPix RICO2 S75R Thermal Imaging Scope with LRF

The defining feature of the RICO 2 S75R is its second-generation 1280×1024 thermal detector.

This sensor contains more than 1.3 million individual thermal pixels. By comparison, a 640×512 detector contains around 327,000 pixels and a 384×288 detector around 111,000.

That means the S75R captures approximately four times as much native thermal pixel information as the H50R or H75R and well over ten times as much as the L42R.

The benefit is particularly noticeable when examining smaller or more distant heat sources, following fine target shape and applying digital magnification. More native thermal information remains available before the image has to be enlarged electronically.

The S75R is rated at ≤15mK NETD thermal sensitivity.

NETD describes how effectively a thermal detector can distinguish very small differences in temperature. Lower figures indicate greater sensitivity.

Good thermal sensitivity becomes especially important during mild, damp, foggy or overcast conditions where the temperature difference between an animal and its surroundings may be relatively small.

The combination of very high sensor resolution and ≤15mK sensitivity is what makes the S75R significantly more than simply a higher-resolution H75R.

The S75R uses a large 75mm F1.0 germanium objective lens.

A 75mm thermal lens would normally result in a comparatively narrow field of view. The S75R's physically much larger 1280×1024 detector changes that dramatically.

While the 640×512 H75R provides approximately 10.2 × 8.2 metres of view at 100 metres through its 75mm lens, the S75R provides approximately 20.5 × 16.4 metres through the same focal length.

The S75R provides 3–30× magnification.

The 3× base magnification is unusually versatile for a thermal scope using a 75mm objective lens. It allows a relatively wide initial viewing area for searching and following movement while retaining substantial long-range capability.

RICO 2's dedicated stepless zoom lever allows magnification to be adjusted progressively and smoothly rather than relying only on fixed digital zoom steps.

This makes it possible to scan at lower magnification and then smoothly increase image scale when more detail is required.

The S75R provides an angular field of view of 11.7° × 9.4°, equivalent to approximately 20.5 × 16.4 metres at 100 metres.

This is exceptionally wide for a thermal riflescope using a 75mm objective lens.

The large field of view makes it easier to search ground, locate heat sources, follow moving animals and retain awareness of the surrounding scene.

It is also a major advantage over the H75R, whose 640×512 sensor produces a much narrower field of view through the same 75mm focal length.

NocPix states that the RICO 2 range can provide thermal detection out to approximately 3,896 metres under its specified test conditions.

This should be understood as a detection figure rather than a positive identification distance.

• Detection – establishing that a heat source is present
• Recognition – determining its general type or shape
• Identification – obtaining enough detail to establish exactly what the target is

Positive identification takes place at a considerably shorter distance than the headline detection figure.

Real-world performance also varies with weather, humidity, target size, thermal contrast and surrounding terrain.

The RICO 2 S75R incorporates an integrated laser rangefinder with a manufacturer-stated ranging capability of up to approximately 1,200 metres.

NocPix describes the system as using true optical-axis alignment, helping keep the rangefinder accurately aligned with the viewing system.

Accurate ranging is particularly useful at night because darkness removes many of the normal landmarks used to judge distance.

The integrated system allows detection, observation and range measurement to take place through the same optic without requiring a separate handheld rangefinder.

The integrated LRF works alongside the S75R's onboard ballistic calculation system.

Once the correct rifle and ammunition data has been configured, measured range can be incorporated into a calculated aiming solution.

This is particularly useful across varying distances, where manual range estimation and holdover calculation can otherwise become more difficult.

Ballistic calculation remains an aiming aid. Correct zeroing, verified ballistic data, positive target identification and a safe backstop must always take priority.

The S75R uses a premium 1.03-inch 2560×2560 OLED display.

The unusually high display resolution is well matched to the enormous amount of thermal information captured by the 1280×1024 detector.

This helps the eyepiece reproduce fine thermal detail cleanly rather than forcing the high-resolution sensor image through a comparatively low-resolution display.

OLED technology also provides strong contrast and deep blacks, helping the thermal scene appear crisp and well defined.

The S75R uses a particularly generous 70mm eye relief together with a 23mm exit pupil.

Eye Relief	70mm
Exit Pupil	23mm

The extended eye relief helps create a comfortable viewing position and provides additional separation between the user's eye and the eyepiece.

The large exit pupil also makes correct eye positioning more forgiving when mounting the rifle quickly or shooting from different positions.

The S75R operates at a smooth 60Hz refresh rate despite its very high 1280×1024 thermal resolution.

This means the thermal image refreshes up to 60 times per second, helping movement remain fluid when panning quickly or following an animal.

Maintaining 60Hz operation at this sensor resolution is a significant part of the S75R's premium specification.

The H75R and S75R both use a 75mm F1.0 objective lens, but the sensor difference changes the character of the two scopes dramatically.

H75R Sensor	640×512, 12μm
S75R Sensor	1280×1024, 12μm
NETD	Both ≤15mK
Lens	Both 75mm F1.0
H75R Magnification	4–32×
S75R Magnification	3–30×
H75R FOV @100m	10.2 × 8.2m
S75R FOV @100m	20.5 × 16.4m

The S75R has approximately four times the native thermal pixel count of the H75R and almost doubles the horizontal field of view despite using the same focal length.

H50R Sensor	640×512
S75R Sensor	1280×1024
NETD	Both ≤15mK
H50R Lens	50mm F1.0
S75R Lens	75mm F1.0
H50R Magnification	3–24×
S75R Magnification	3–30×
H50R FOV @100m	15.4 × 11.5m
S75R FOV @100m	20.5 × 16.4m

The H50R is a very strong all-round 640-resolution thermal riflescope. The S75R sits in a different performance category altogether because of its 1280×1024 detector.

The unusual advantage is that the S75R provides both a longer 75mm lens and a wider field of view than the H50R. Normally increasing lens focal length narrows the visible scene, but the much larger S75R detector offsets that effect.

The L42R and S75R sit at opposite ends of the RICO 2 family.

L42R Sensor	384×288
S75R Sensor	1280×1024
L42R NETD	≤18mK
S75R NETD	≤15mK
L42R Lens	42mm F1.0
S75R Lens	75mm F1.0
L42R Magnification	4–16×
S75R Magnification	3–30×

The S75R contains more than eleven times as many native thermal pixels as the L42R.

The L42R is about accessing the RICO 2 platform at a much lower price. The S75R is about maximising thermal detail, field of view and overall performance.

The S75R is aimed at customers who want the highest-performance model in the RICO 2 family and do not want to compromise on native thermal resolution.

It is particularly well suited to:

• Customers who want maximum thermal image detail
• Large fields and open terrain
• Medium and long-distance observation
• Users who apply significant digital magnification
• Customers wanting a 75mm lens without an excessively narrow field of view
• Users who value a large, high-resolution eyepiece display
• Those wanting integrated rangefinding and ballistic calculation
• Customers upgrading from a 384×288 or 640×512 thermal scope

The S75R is not simply the longest-range RICO 2. Its real advantage is the combination of 1280-resolution detail, a 75mm objective and an unusually wide field of view.

The S75R is a dedicated thermal riflescope and uses RICO 2's purpose-designed mounting system rather than conventional 30mm scope rings.

It is intended for use with a suitable Picatinny rail mounting arrangement. If the rifle uses an 11mm dovetail rail, a suitable dovetail-to-Picatinny adaptor will be required.

Always confirm rail compatibility, mounting security and correct eye position before use, and confirm zero after fitting or changing the mount.

The RICO 2 platform uses a rechargeable power system designed for extended use in the field.

Actual runtime will depend on ambient temperature, display settings and use of functions such as laser ranging, recording and wireless connectivity.

For longer sessions, ensure the supplied battery system is fully charged before use and carry charged spare power where appropriate.

Because battery pack quantities and charging accessories can differ between markets or production batches, the physical contents of current Bamfords Online stock take precedence over generic international package lists.

The S75R incorporates digital image and video recording functionality, allowing thermal footage to be captured directly through the scope.

Compatible wireless connectivity allows supported functions and recorded media to interact with the NocPix ecosystem.

Recording and wireless functions use additional power, so continuous use can reduce practical battery life compared with basic observation alone.
