I was talking to someone at iRayUSA recently, and they sell the InfiRay Outdoor RICO RH50R V2 Thermal as fast as they can be made. The \u201cR\u201d indicates a laser rangefinder (LRF). Everybody wants an LRF on their thermal now, and the one on the RH50R V2 is sleek and effective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The RH50R V2\u2019s little brother, the RICO RH50 V2, is the same thermal scope, save the LRF and a couple of other features. These small differences have made the RH50 V2 lonely and not nearly as popular. If you don\u2019t need an LRF, consider the <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimatenightvision.com\/rico-rh50v2-640\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"infiray-outdoor-rico-rh50-v2-thermal-riflescope-review\" title=\"InfiRay Outdoor RICO RH50 V2 Thermal Riflescope Review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">RH50 V2<\/a>.

Thermal scanning is the thing that will get you into the night predator game, if you can\u2019t afford both a thermal scanner and a thermal riflescope. You can always use a red light to get to your stand, watch the coyote in your scanner until it\u2019s in range, and then hit them with a white light for the kill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The InfiRay Outdoor Finder also has a <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/maztech-x4-lrf-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"infiray-outdoor-rico-rh50-v2-thermal-riflescope-review\" title=\"InfiRay Outdoor RICO RH50 V2 Thermal Riflescope Review\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"2364\">laser range<\/a> finder, and particularly for beginners that\u2019s a big help and a confidence builder. Let\u2019s suppose someone followed my advice, initially bought a Finder scanner, saved up more cash, and they can finally afford to add a thermal scope to their kit. What now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-showing-running-coyote-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"image through thermal scope in picture mode on.\" class=\"wp-image-208961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-showing-running-coyote-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-showing-running-coyote-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-showing-running-coyote-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-showing-running-coyote-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-showing-running-coyote.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Picture in picture mode may be switched on or off and is digitally magnified 2x from whatever magnification the scope is running at the time.

I\u2019ve looked through plenty, hunted with numerous different units, and owned more than one. What I can say about <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-irayusa-rico-mk1-384-rl42-thermal-full-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"infiray-outdoor-rico-rh50-v2-thermal-riflescope-review\" title=\"InfiRay Outdoor RICO RH50 V2 Thermal Riflescope Review\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"2365\">thermal scopes<\/a> is they are truly a game changer as compared to either red lights or PVS night vision. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-into-the-night-my-journey-into-night-vision-and-thermal-optics\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"infiray-outdoor-rico-rh50-v2-thermal-riflescope-review\" title=\"InfiRay Outdoor RICO RH50 V2 Thermal Riflescope Review\">As I have said many times<\/a>, night vision shows you everything, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-farther-into-the-night-my-journey-into-night-vision-and-thermal-optics\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"infiray-outdoor-rico-rh50-v2-thermal-riflescope-review\" title=\"InfiRay Outdoor RICO RH50 V2 Thermal Riflescope Review\">thermal shows you what\u2019s important<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are many metrics associated with a given thermal unit, the core resolution is probably the most critical. You want to buy the highest resolution you can afford. The minimum would be 384&#215;288 pixels (typically referred to as \u201c384\u201d), and that\u2019s perfectly adequate for killing coyotes and pigs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The jump to a 640-resolution scope is big, but so is the price jump. If there\u2019s any way a guy can swing it, I\u2019d say save up for a 640. The ability to detect and identify predators with a 640 thermal scope is far and away better than lower resolution models. The good news, though, is that with so many more entrants into the thermal market, prices are coming down, and features are going up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-rico-rh50-v2-thermal\">The RICO RH50 V2 Thermal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking at a 640 unit, the RH50 V2 Thermal is a solid option based on my testing. If you bought the InfiRay Outdoor Finder scanner then you don\u2019t need another thermal LRF. The RH50 V2 has 640&#215;512 resolution, 3x optical magnification, and a four-button layout that is intuitive and easy to use. The refresh rate is 60 Hz, which makes moving objects like running coyotes appear smooth and not jumpy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the best, and certainly most unique feature, is the top-mounted focus knob. Whereas most thermal scopes use a focus ring near the objective lens (just like a traditional AO scope), the RH50 V2&#8217;s top knob commands the focus. This design is far easier to reach and use than the traditional focus ring design. The RH50 V2 focus knob has decent resistance to turning and isn\u2019t easily disturbed accidentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-focus-knob-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"the top control panel of the InfiRay Outdoor RICO RH50 V2\" class=\"wp-image-208962\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-focus-knob-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-focus-knob-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-focus-knob-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-focus-knob.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The RH50 V2 top focus knob is far better than the objective ring style used on other scopes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-display-and-battery\">Display and Battery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Other features of the RH50 V2 Thermal include a 1024&#215;768 AMOLED display. This is the tiny screen that your eye directly views at the rear of the scope. These AMOLED displays are becoming the market standard, and this one is very clear. The Diopter range is -4 to +4, accommodating a variety of eyes. The battery is proprietary, but it is very good and the unit comes with two. This is the same battery pack I have used in another scope for a long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even in the cold, two of these batteries will easily last all night. You can use an external battery pack if necessary, via a USB-C port. The standby mode is super useful because it preserves battery life and instantly turns the unit on with the push of one button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-white-hot-black-hot-and-red-hot-sample-1024x256.jpg\" alt=\"Different black and white heat modes for the InfiRay Outdoor RICO RH50 V2\" class=\"wp-image-208963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-white-hot-black-hot-and-red-hot-sample-1024x256.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-white-hot-black-hot-and-red-hot-sample-400x100.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-white-hot-black-hot-and-red-hot-sample-150x38.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-white-hot-black-hot-and-red-hot-sample-768x192.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-white-hot-black-hot-and-red-hot-sample.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Left to right: white hot, black hot, and red hot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-other-features\">Other Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The reticle options are many, and the one-shot zero function works (though it took me more than one shot).

For example, at the range on a hot day, the white hot was useless while the black hot was perfect.

I have this LRF module on another scope and although bulky it works well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-sample-reticles-1024x256.jpg\" alt=\"Different Reticle modes for the InfiRay Outdoor RICO RH50 V2\" class=\"wp-image-208965\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-sample-reticles-1024x256.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-sample-reticles-400x100.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-sample-reticles-150x38.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-sample-reticles-768x192.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-sample-reticles.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Left to right: small crosshair green reticle, &#8220;mil-ish&#8221; red reticle, and &#8220;mil-ish&#8221; white reticle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-i-hear-you-5-by-5\">I Hear You 5 by 5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The RICO RH50 V2 Thermal is made by InfiRay Outdoor in China and distributed, serviced, and warrantied by iRayUSA in Texas, USA. One can\u2019t talk about iRayUSA, without discussing their industry-leading warranty. The 5\/5, or five-year \/ five-day warranty covers your scope for five years. iRayUSA will also get you either a repaired unit or a replacement unit within five days of receiving yours under warranty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recently sent in my dual InfiRay Outdoor MH-25 scanners that I bought years apart. I couldn\u2019t get the images to look the same, so I decided to see what would happen if I sent them to iRayUSA. In five (business) days, I had a matching set of MH-25s. They replaced the germanium lens on one of them so the color would match exactly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a slight change in that lens between the model years. I was impressed by both the speed and the service shown here. Their warranty is no joke. Interestingly, other companies are adopting the five-year aspect, but not the five-day feature. If you are on a two-week hunt and you can\u2019t get your scope back in time you will wish you had this warranty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-5-year-5-day-warranty-1024x457.jpg\" alt=\"InfiRay 5-year warranty \" class=\"wp-image-208966\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-5-year-5-day-warranty-1024x457.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-5-year-5-day-warranty-400x179.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-5-year-5-day-warranty-150x67.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-5-year-5-day-warranty-768x343.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-5-year-5-day-warranty.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Industry-leading warranty.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-to-the-field\">To the Field<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My test unit arrived this past summer, and I wasted no time sighting it in. But before that, I replaced the stock mount with <a href=\"https:\/\/irayusa.com\/ac03\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"infiray-outdoor-rico-rh50-v2-thermal-riflescope-review\" title=\"InfiRay Outdoor RICO RH50 V2 Thermal Riflescope Review\">one made by American Defense Manufacturing<\/a>. I\u2019ve had great luck with ADM mounts, so that\u2019s just something I do. I don\u2019t often hunt coyotes in the summer months, but I had just met a cattleman who was kind enough to let me film coyotes on his property. Spoiler alert: I wasn\u2019t allowed to kill them (yet). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He showed me around near sundown on a 1% moon night and after he left, I waited for the darkness to mature. I walked to a suitable stand with my PVS-14 binos, put out the Foxpro Fusion predator call, and waited before hitting the play button. It took all of 10 seconds of a hurt pup sound for the first coyote to streak in. At first, I was disappointed that I couldn\u2019t kill them, but on the plus side, I got a lot of great footage to showcase the RH50. That video is here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-manual-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"User manual for thermal \" class=\"wp-image-208967\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-manual-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-manual-400x265.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-manual-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-manual-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/RICO-RH50-V2-thermal-scope-manual.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Read your manual.

If I were in the market, I would give it a hard look. That said, it usually costs $4,799, and its big brother usually only costs $700 more. For that extra seven C-notes, you get a very sleek, integrated LRF, a useful digital zoom throw lever with a familiar form factor, a better eyepiece, and a larger digital display in the RH50R V2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For my money, I\u2019d get the <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimatenightvision.com\/rico-mk2-rh50r-640\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"infiray-outdoor-rico-rh50-v2-thermal-riflescope-review\" title=\"InfiRay Outdoor RICO RH50 V2 Thermal Riflescope Review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RH50R V2<\/a> since I\u2019m already spending almost $5k. I was thinking iRayUSA needs to increase the price differential between the two scopes to reflect the value difference. And wouldn&#8217;t you know it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right before I uploaded this article, I got word that starting this past September, iRayUSA is running a promotion and the RH50 V2 will cost $3,999. Bottom line: they are both good options; get what you can afford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"infiray-outdoor-rico-rh50-v2-thermal-riflescope-review\" title=\"InfiRay Outdoor RICO RH50 V2 Thermal Riflescope Review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The InfiRay Outdoor RICO RH50 V2 is a solid choice for a thermal riflescope for nighttime predator hunting.
