Description
The NOCPIX RICO3 L35R is the doorway into the RICO 3 lineup, and it does not feel like a stripped-down version of anything. You get the same magnesium chassis, the same circular AMOLED display, and the same smart-shooting brain as the pricier 640 models, just built around a 384×288 core. For hunters who want serious after-dark capability without stepping up to a flagship price, this is the sweet spot.
What Makes the RICO3 L35R Tick
At the heart of it sits a 384×288, 12-micron sensor with a sub-15mK NETD rating and a 60Hz refresh, mated to a 35mm F1.0 germanium objective. That combination gives you a native 3X magnification with 4X digital on tap and a detection range out to roughly 1,990 yards. The Reality+ 2.0 image processing cleans up contrast and noise, which is where you really notice the difference on humid nights or when hogs are bedded in cover. Everything shows up on a 1.03-inch 2560×2560 AMOLED display, so the picture stays crisp and bright edge to edge.
Ranging and Ballistics Built Right In
The standout here is the integrated 1,600-yard laser rangefinder working alongside the onboard ballistic calculator. Feed it your muzzle velocity and bullet BC, then let a laser return update your hold on the fly. You can range in single-shot when you have time to settle, or run continuous mode when a coyote is on the move. Picture-in-picture keeps a magnified aiming window up top while you hold the wider field of view, which is a genuinely useful setup for tracking and shooting.
Long Nights, Ready When You Are
Power comes from the quick-change NBP-8 battery system, and the L35R ships with a spare so you can swap fresh without pulling the optic off the rifle. Each pack runs up to 10 hours in normal conditions and holds around 7 hours in sub-zero cold down to -4F. Round that out with 64GB of onboard storage, recoil-activated video that captures the moment of the shot automatically, Wi-Fi to the NOCPIX app, USB-C and magnetic charging, a quick-detach Picatinny mount, and an IP67-rated body, and you have a complete thermal package that earns its keep season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far can the RICO3 L35R detect and range targets?
The L35R has a detection range of roughly 1,990 yards thanks to its 35mm F1.0 objective and sensitive 384×288 core. The built-in laser rangefinder is rated to 1,600 yards. Keep in mind detection means picking up a heat signature at distance, while actual identification and ethical shot ranges will be shorter depending on conditions and target size.
What is the difference between the RICO3 L35R and the 640-resolution RICO 3 models?
The L35R uses a 384×288 sensor while the H-series models step up to a 640×512 sensor for a wider field of view and finer image detail. Everything else is largely shared, including the magnesium chassis, circular AMOLED display, 1,600-yard rangefinder, ballistic calculator, and dual-battery system. The L35R gives you the full RICO 3 feature set at the most accessible point in the lineup.
How long does the battery last on the RICO3 L35R?
Each NBP-8 battery pack delivers up to 10 hours of runtime in normal conditions and around 7 hours in extreme cold down to -4F. The scope ships with two packs, and the quick-change design lets you swap a fresh one without taking the optic off your rifle. You can also charge via USB-C or run off external power through the magnetic port for all-night sessions.
Is the RICO3 L35R a good choice for hog and predator hunting?
Yes, this is right in its wheelhouse. The 3X native magnification and 35mm lens are well suited for open crop fields, pastures, and powerlines where hogs and coyotes show up at greater distances. Pair that with the onboard rangefinder, ballistic calculator, and recoil-activated video, and you have a capable rig for serious night hunting.
