- Magnification
- What you can tell
The view starts at this unit's own magnification. The further away the animal, and the wider the field of view, the less detail the sensor picks up, until you can tell something warm is there but not what it is. Zooming in makes it bigger, not sharper.
- Magnification
- Sharpness
Digital zoom crops the sensor image and enlarges what is left. It adds no detail, so each step makes the picture bigger but softer.
Example image only. Not filmed through this product. Pig and deer stills supplied by HIKMICRO and Nocpix; fox and rabbit are thermal-style images we made from photos by A. Omer Karamollaoglu (CC BY 2.0) and Alexis Lours (CC BY 4.0). Field of view and zoom are simulated from this unit's 640×512 sensor and 50 mm lens, 3.1× base magnification and 1920×1080 screen. Real results change with weather, display and settings.

RIX GLINT G6 Thermal Rifle Scope: 640 Sensor, LRF and Ballistics Without the Weight
The GLINT G6 puts a 640×512 thermal sensor, a 1,500 m rangefinder and a ballistic calculator into a scope that weighs 749 g. That keeps it easy to carry and quick to swing onto a target. Behind the 50 mm F0.9 lens sits a 12 µm VOx core rated at ≤15 mK NETD, refreshing at 60 Hz.
Sharp, Smooth Image
The F0.9 lens lets in heaps of heat and the 60 Hz refresh keeps moving animals smooth, so you can follow a fox through the scrub without the picture lagging. Image is shown on a 1920×1080 AMOLED, with 1–8× digital zoom from the 3.1× base.
Weather Mode for Damp Nights
Humidity, rain and fog wash out a thermal picture. GLINT's Weather Mode, including a dedicated Rain Mode, boosts contrast so the target stays defined when conditions turn.
Range It, Then Hold Right
The built-in laser measures out to 1,500 m to ±1 m. The ballistic calculator takes that distance plus your load data and gives you a corrected aim point, so there's no guessing holdover.
Batteries You Can Swap
It runs on a 21700 for up to 7 hours, takes an 18650 with the included sleeve, and two 21700s come in the box. Swap one out in the field and keep going. There's also 5 V USB-C external power.
Best for hunters who want 640 resolution, ranging and ballistics on a lighter rifle. If you're mainly scanning, a handheld monocular will do that job better. Not sure which RIX suits how you hunt? Ask us and we'll point you to the right one.
