The Nocpix Rico 2 H50R LRF is the versatile middle of Nocpix's flagship Rico 2 thermal weapon sight family the step up from the 384-sensor L42R into a 640-class image, sized for medium-range hunting where balance matters more than raw reach. It pairs a 640—512 thermal sensor with a 50 mm germanium objective lens, an integrated 1,200-yard laser rangefinder, and the full Rico 2 platform: 2560—2560 round AMOLED display, ballistic calculator, recoil-activated video, magnetic charging, and a quick-detach mount. For most thermal hunters, the H50R is the right Rico 2. The 640 sensor gives you the image quality the platform is built around. The 50 mm lens and 3— base magnification deliver detection out to 2,800 yards while keeping the field of view wide enough to find and track moving targets fast. The weight stays manageable on a hunting rifle. And the price sits below the long-reach H75R and the flagship S75R without giving up the Rico 2 features that matter. The Rico 2 family how the H50R fits The Rico 2 series is a four-model tiered family on a shared platform. The naming code tells you the tier: L = 384 sensor, H = 640 sensor, S = 1280 sensor. The number that follows is the objective lens size in millimeters. L42R 384—288 sensor, 42 mm lens. Entry into the Rico 2 platform; close-to-mid range work. H50R 640—512 sensor, 50 mm lens. The versatile middle of the line the most popular Rico 2 for general hunting use. H75R 640—512 sensor, 75 mm lens. Same sensor as the H50R, but a much bigger lens pushes detection past 4,000 yards. The choice when 640 image quality at extreme range matters most. S75R 1280—1024 sensor at 60 Hz, 75 mm lens, stepless digital zoom to 30—. The top of the line for precision long-range identification. Step up from the L42R to the H50R when you want a 640 sensor for finer detail and added reach. Step up from the H50R to the H75R when the same 640 image quality at extreme range is the priority. Step up to the S75R when you want maximum resolution and the most refined optical/display package the Rico 2 platform offers. What you get with the H50R 640—512 thermal sensor with 12 μm pixel pitch. The step up from 384. More pixels collecting heat data means finer detail, better target identification at distance, and more confident shot calls especially in fog, light rain, or marginal heat conditions where a 384 starts to soften. NETD 15 mK. Sharper thermal contrast than entry-class scopes, with cleaner edge definition on warm bodies against cooler backgrounds. 50 mm F/1.0 germanium objective. Sized to match the 640 sensor for the best balance of field of view and reach. 2,800-yard detection range without the lens length and weight of a 75 mm build. 3— base magnification, up to 8— with digital zoom. Wide-area scanning at base power, then zoom in for target identification and shot placement. The Rico 2's smooth digital zoom transitions cleanly. 60 Hz refresh rate. Real-time imaging on moving targets without smear. Built-in 1,200-yard laser rangefinder + ballistic calculator. Range a target, get drop data instantly the system uses the bullet velocity and ballistic coefficient you input to compute the correction for the ranged distance. 2560—2560 round AMOLED display. Crisp, immersive viewing across long sits. Picture-in-Picture mode for keeping a zoomed target view alongside the wider field. Recoil-activated video and onboard recording to capture the kill without manual press at the moment of the shot. Magnetic charging port for fast, intuitive recharges; spare battery included. Dual-lever quick-detach mount included engineered to return to zero when the optic is removed and reinstalled. Five-hour battery life for full nights in the field.

The H50R is the middle tier of the four-model Rico 2 series and the most versatile choice in the line. The "H" signals the 640 sensor tier; the "50" is the 50 mm objective lens. Below it sits the L42R (384 entry tier); above it sit the H75R (same sensor, bigger lens for extreme range) and the S75R (1280 flagship). What's the difference between the H50R and the L42R? The H50R steps up to a 640—512 sensor and a 50 mm lens, with detection out to 2,800 yards and NETD 15 mK. The L42R uses a 384—288 sensor with a 42 mm lens, 2,400 yd detection, and NETD 18 mK. Both share the full Rico 2 platform same display, LRF, ballistic calculator, and mount. Step up to the H50R when you want a real image-quality jump and added reach. What's the difference between the H50R and the H75R? The H50R and H75R use the same 640—512 sensor. The H50R has a 50 mm lens with 3— base magnification and 2,800 yd detection. The H75R has a 75 mm lens with 4— base magnification and detection past 4,000 yards. The H75R is the right pick when extreme-range reach matters most; the H50R is the right pick when balance and a more manageable size and weight matter more. Is the H50R a good thermal scope for hog hunting? Yes for most hog hunters it's the right Rico 2. The 640 sensor handles hog body heat with detail to spare, the 3— base magnification and 50 mm lens deliver a wide enough field of view to find and track hogs moving through brush, and the integrated LRF and ballistic calculator handle ranging and dial-in for shots that aren't point-blank. How accurate is the laser rangefinder? The Rico 2 family's integrated LRF ranges to 1,200 yards. Once you've input your bullet's muzzle velocity and ballistic coefficient into the ballistic calculator, the system computes drop for the ranged distance. What battery does the H50R use and how long does it last? Rechargeable battery with a magnetic charging port. Runtime is up to approximately 5 hours on a charge, and a spare battery is included. Does the H50R record video? Yes. Onboard recording with recoil-activated video when the rifle fires, capture starts automatically. The kill is recorded without a manual press at the moment of the shot. Will the H50R hold zero through recoil? Yes. The Rico 2 platform's dual-lever quick-detach mount is engineered to return to zero, so the optic can be removed and reinstalled without losing zero. What's the warranty? Nocpix backs the Rico 2 H50R with their standard manufacturer warranty.
