Nocpix Australia

Needs first. Nocpix is the thermal you fit after quarry, distance and role are locked — not a catalogue you browse by series. Start with a handheld so you can glass quarry, distance and background without waving a rifle around the paddock. Then lock lens class. Around ~150 m the Need is 35 mm: ACE L35, BOLT L35R, or SLIM. Past that — foxes at 250 m and longer feral shots — lock 50 mm first: that is the ACE H50R. The ACE S60R (60-class / 1280) and RICO 2 75 mm sit when the distance Need is already long and large-objective / 1280 detail is part of that same Need.

Considerations. The “R” models add a laser rangefinder. Ballistics, 384 vs 640 vs 1280 (FOV and detail, not magic metres), tube vs remote-mount (NOVA), clip-on (MATE) vs dedicated scope, battery and weight sit in the second column. They do not paper over the wrong lens. Form-by-form ACE / BOLT / RICO 2 fit lives in Nocpix ACE vs BOLT vs RICO 2. Whole-brand fit sits on the Nocpix Australia Needs hub.

Hunt The Night is an Australian Nocpix dealer. Every ACE, BOLT, RICO 2, LUMI, VISTA, QUEST, MATE and NITE on this shelf is genuine Australian stock with local warranty and Melbourne-based pre-sale advice. We fit Nocpix the same way we fit every thermal: quarry, distance, role — not a price ladder.

Spotter first — LUMI, VISTA, QUEST

Hunt The Night always spots with a handheld first. Do not sweep the paddock with a scoped firearm. LUMI H35R is the pocket scanner (L35R, H35, L35, L19 and P13 in the same jacket-pocket role). VISTA H50R is the large-display observation monocular when you want a bigger picture for longer glassing; VISTA S50R is the 1280 observation class. QUEST is the high-detail handheld when observation is the job: QUEST S50R (50 mm / 1280) after the distance Need is already long, with H50R / H35R / L35R in the same QUEST lane. Read start with a spotter.

35 mm — closer country

When the hunt lives inside ~150 m — rabbits, foxes in scrub, tight paddocks — lock 35 mm. The ACE L35 is the 35 mm / 384 dedicated tube. The BOLT L35R is the same 35 mm class with a built-in LRF: form and ranging are Considerations after the lens is right, not a cheaper-vs-flagship step. SLIM L35 and SLIM H35 keep the 35 mm lane in a compact tube. NOVA H35R is the remote-mount 35 mm when the role is a cab or spotlight setup rather than a conventional cheek weld — see how to remote-mount a thermal scope. Do not stretch a 35 mm Nocpix to 250 m foxes — that job is a 50 mm Need.

50 mm — open paddock

The ACE H50R is the Nocpix we fit to foxes at 250 m and other shots past ~150 m: 50 mm / 640 with LRF. The 640 does not add metres over a 384 on the same 50 mm class — it buys a wider, more detailed picture. This is the Nocpix Australia money SKU: lock 50 mm first, then treat LRF and extras as Considerations. BOLT H50R is the same 50 mm / 640 LRF lane in the BOLT body. ACE H50 (no “R”) is the 50 mm ACE when you do not Need the rangefinder. On the handheld side, VISTA H50R is the 50 mm spotter for that same open-country Need — still a scanner, not a riflescope.

Long-range / 1280 — lens first, sensor second

When the distance Need is already long, step the objective before you chase sensor marketing. The ACE S60R is 60-class / 1280 with LRF. RICO 2 S75R is the 75 mm RICO 2 when that extra objective is the Need; RICO 2 RL42R stays in the RICO 2 body at a shorter class. 1280 adds FOV and detail after the lens is locked — it is not a shortcut past 50 mm. QUEST S50R is the matching 50 mm / 1280 observation handheld.

Keep the day scope — MATE clip-on / NITE digital NV

If the role Need is “keep the glass I already have,” that is a clip-on, not an upsell. MATE MH50R is the 50 mm thermal clip-on; MATE H38R and MATE ULTRA S60R sit in the same role class at different objectives. If the job is a daylight-style picture with an illuminator rather than heat, that is digital NV: the NITE ND70R — not a thermal, and not a substitute for a handheld scanner.

Which Nocpix fits the hunt?

Nocpix Australia — FAQ

Is Hunt The Night a Nocpix dealer in Australia?

Yes. Genuine Australian Nocpix stock, local warranty, Melbourne advice. Live pricing is on each product page. We do not group this range by under-$X tiers. Buy Nocpix here by quarry, distance and role.

ACE H50R or ACE L35?

Needs first: distance. Around ~150 m, ACE L35 (35 mm / 384). Foxes at 250 m and other shots past ~150 m, ACE H50R (50 mm / 640 LRF). Sensor class adds FOV and detail, not raw reach. The lens does the distance work.

Do I still need a monocular with a Nocpix scope?

Yes. Hunt The Night always spots with a handheld first. Do not sweep the paddock with a scoped firearm. A LUMI, VISTA or QUEST finds the animal; ACE, BOLT, RICO 2, SLIM or NOVA takes the shot once you are on it.

640 or 1280?

Neither one is extra metres. On the same lens class, 640 vs 1280 is FOV and on-screen detail. Lock 50 mm (or 60 / 75 mm) for the distance Need first; pick 1280 (ACE S60R, RICO 2 S75R, QUEST S50R, VISTA S50R) when that extra picture is part of the same Need.

BOLT or ACE?

Same lens-class rule, then form. ACE L35 and BOLT L35R are both 35 mm closer-country scopes; ACE H50R and BOLT H50R are both 50 mm open-paddock scopes. BOLT puts LRF in the body as a Consideration. ACE is the dedicated all-round tube. Pick by how you mount and range — not cheaper vs flagship.
