Built for serious hunters and sport shooters who demand performance in the dark, the ThermTec Oryx 650L Thermal Scope is a flagship-tier thermal riflescope packing a 640x512 sensor with a 12µm pixel pitch and an industry-leading NETD of ≤15 mK into a rugged, weatherproof platform. That sensor sensitivity means it can resolve incredibly fine temperature differences across the scene, giving you a cleaner, more detailed thermal image at range than lower-sensitivity units can deliver. A fast F0.9 aperture on the 50mm objective lens maximises thermal energy collection, pushing detection capability out to 2600 metres. Paired with an integrated laser rangefinder reaching 1200 metres and a built-in ballistic calculator, the Oryx 650L is engineered to close the gap between acquiring a target and making an accurate shot in low-light or no-light conditions.

ThermTec Oryx 650L Thermal Scope Key Features

• Sensor Resolution and Sensitivity: 640x512 resolution at 12µm pixel pitch with NETD ≤15 mK delivers exceptional thermal detail and contrast, allowing the scope to distinguish subtle temperature differences between an animal and its background at extended range.
• Objective Lens: 50mm F0.9 objective lens collects maximum thermal energy for a bright, detailed image, particularly valuable in cold or wet conditions where thermal contrast can be reduced.
• Optical and Digital Magnification: 3.7x base optical magnification with 1x to 4x continuous digital zoom gives a flexible field of view of 8.8° x 7.0°, covering 15.4 x 12.3 metres at 100 metres at base magnification.
• OLED Display: 1.03" (2.62 cm) OLED display at 2560x2560 resolution delivers sharp, high-contrast imagery with fast response suited to tracking moving animals at night.
• 50 Hz Refresh Rate: A 50 Hz image refresh rate produces smooth, fluid footage of moving targets, reducing blur and making it easier to track game across open ground or through scrub.
• Integrated Laser Rangefinder (LRF): The built-in LRF measures distance out to 1200 metres and feeds that data directly into the on-board ballistic calculator, reducing manual input and improving shot accuracy at distance.
• Built-in Ballistic Calculator: Onboard ballistics processing uses LRF distance data alongside user-configured load data to provide accurate holdover solutions, removing the need for separate devices or mental arithmetic in the field.
• Zeroing Profiles: Six independent zeroing profiles with manual and freeze-zeroing options allow the scope to be shared across multiple rifles or loads without re-zeroing from scratch each time.
• RAV (Recoil Activated Video): Automatically triggers video recording on recoil, capturing shot footage without requiring manual operation, making post-shot review straightforward.
• ThermTec AutoSight System (TASS): Automatically returns the scope to base magnification after a shot is fired, helping the shooter reacquire the target or locate a second target quickly without fumbling with zoom controls.
• Shutterless Self-Learning Image Correction: AI-driven image calibration continuously corrects for sensor non-uniformity without a shutter mechanism, eliminating the brief image interruption common in shuttered thermal scopes.
• Photo and Video Recording: Onboard recording at 1280x1024 resolution with audio, stored to 64 GB of internal memory via USB-C, documents hunts and can support post-session review or compliance records.
• Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Mode: Simultaneously displays a magnified centre window within the full field of view, allowing precise shot placement without losing situational awareness of the surrounding scene.
• Reticle and Palette Options: Seven reticle designs across six colours, plus six display colour palettes including Forest and Rainy image modes, allow the image to be tailored to different terrain, weather, and personal preference.
• Central Turret Focus and Independent Zoom Encoder: Dedicated focus control at the turret position and a separate zoom encoder allow fast, tactile adjustments without navigating menus, keeping eyes on target.
• Horizontal Battery Placement: The 21700 cell sits horizontally, keeping the scope's profile slim and maintaining a clean sight picture consistent with the look and feel of a conventional day scope.
• Battery Life and Type: A single replaceable 21700 6000 mAh cell provides up to 8 hours of runtime, and being user-replaceable means spare cells can be carried for extended hunts without access to charging.
• Recoil Resistance: Rated to withstand up to 6000 joules of recoil energy, making it suitable for mounting on heavy-recoiling centrefire calibres used for deer, pigs, and other large game.
• IP67 Weather Resistance: IP67-rated sealing protects against dust ingress and temporary submersion to 1 metre (3.28 ft), suitable for use in rain, heavy dew, and wet bush conditions.
• Wi-Fi and App Connectivity: Connects to the ThermTec Outdoor App on iOS and Android via Wi-Fi for live image streaming, remote settings control, and firmware updates. USB-C also supports direct PC firmware updates and data transfer.
• Operating Temperature Range: Functions across -20°C to +50°C, covering the full range of Australian conditions from alpine winter hunts to hot-weather pest control in northern Australia.
• Dimensions and Weight: 397 x 87 x 74 mm at 1100g (±5g) keeps the unit substantial but manageable on a hunting rifle, with the weight distributed along the length rather than adding excessive height above the bore.

The ThermTec Oryx 650L sits at the top end of the thermal scope market for good reason. Whether you are calling in pigs on a dark paddock, glassing for deer in pre-dawn scrub, or running a culling program across open country, this scope brings together sensor quality, integrated rangefinding, ballistic computing, and solid build standards in a single package that is ready to perform from the moment it goes on the rail.
