i have only looked through and own one other thermal scope, Nocpix Ace H50., so that’s all I have to compare the Rix S6r to. The storm is obviously priced quite a bit below the Ace but to my eyes the picture quality is very close. The rangefinder, ballistics and app is pretty cool.Battery life far exceeds the Ace.Hunted last night for 3 hours and the temperature was 19 degrees. The Ace was in standby mode and only turned on every half an hour to verify battery level. The storm was used as a scanner and left running the whole time. The Ace went through 2 batteries and the Storm just moved one bar down from full on 1 battery. The only negative I have is the refresh rate seems pretty laggy compared to the Ace. I’m no techie but I’m guessing it’s because the Ace is 60hz and the Storm is only 50hz. I just had to scan a little slower and adjusted to it. Good luck finding anything out there with the same options and quality for a comparable price. Night Vision Universe is a great business to purchase your thermal optics from. Fast and friendly service, two thumbs up.
Phillip, Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed and thoughtful review. It is great to hear how the Rix Storm S6R stacked up against your Nocpix Ace H50, especially with image quality, battery life, and the added features like the rangefinder, ballistics, and app. Your real world battery comparison in cold conditions is especially helpful and highlights one of the Storm’s biggest strengths. You are also spot on about the refresh rate difference, and I appreciate you explaining how you adapted to it in the field. I truly appreciate you choosing Night Vision Universe and sharing such useful feedback for others who are comparing options at this price point.
Just received my D12 in the mail. Bruce was awesome to work with. I’m very appreciative of his military and law enforcement support and kind interactions. He was very helpful and answered all my questions promptly. His customer service is top notch. I will definitely return to Night Vision Universe for my next purchase. Thank you Bruce!
Jaron, Thank you for taking the time to share this. I am really glad to hear you are happy with the D12 and that the experience from start to finish was a good one. Supporting military and law enforcement is very important to me, so I truly appreciate you mentioning that. I am glad I could answer your questions and make the process smooth and straightforward. Thank you for choosing Night Vision Universe and I look forward to helping you again with your next purchase.

Jeff, Thank you for sharing that. I am really glad the process was fast and easy once again. Hearing that you consistently have a great experience means a lot to me. I truly appreciate you choosing Night Vision Universe and your continued support.
I cant think of any reason to shop anywhere else for high end optical equipment. Bruce is the best, he is always there, always responsive, and always ready to help seemingly 24/7. He is a straight shooter and the kind of person that I want to deal with. No call centers, no waiting on hold, no 'push 1 for sales', 2 for service,3 for etc etc. Thanks Bruce!
Joe, Thank you for sharing this. It truly means a lot to hear that the personal, direct approach made such a strong impression. I believe buying high end optical equipment should feel straightforward and human, not like dealing with a call center or automated system. Being available, responsive, and honest is how I try to do business every day. I really appreciate your trust in Night Vision Universe and the kind words, and I am grateful for the opportunity to earn your business.
I purchased the V2 25-320 to go on my 6.5 Grendel AR mostly for hogs and yotes. My shots have been mostly 100 yds and in but it's nice to have capabilities out to 250 yds or so. I'd highly recommend this unit to anyone who's looking to get into thermal hunting at an affordable price point!
J.C. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m really glad to hear the V2 25-320 has been a good fit on your 6.5 Grendel and is covering the ranges you need for hogs and coyotes. That balance of solid performance inside 100 yards with the ability to reach out farther is exactly why it’s such a popular option at that price point. I appreciate the recommendation and thank you for choosing Night Vision Universe.
