Why Choose this model
The RIX Tourer T50 4K is a digital day/night riflescope built around a 3840x2160 sensor, bright 50 mm F1.2 lens, 3.5-28x magnification, and 1080p AMOLED display. A built-in 1,640-yard laser rangefinder, onboard ballistic calculator, recoil-activated video, and replaceable 21700/18650 battery system make it a strong all-in-one option for hog and predator hunters who want detailed target identification by day or night without moving to thermal pricing.
Who this is for
Best for
Hog and predator hunters who want one rifle-mounted optic for daylight, low light, and IR-assisted nighttime use, with a photographic image, built-in ranging, and onboard ballistic correction.
Not ideal for
Hunters whose first priority is detecting heat through total darkness, brush, fog, or low-contrast terrain. The Tourer T50 is digital night vision, not thermal, and may require an external IR illuminator in true zero-light conditions.

Full product description
RIX Tourer T50 4K Digital Day/Night Vision Scope Overview
The RIX Tourer T50 4K is a digital day/night riflescope for hunters who want one rifle-mounted optic for daylight, fading light, and nighttime use. It combines a native 3840 x 2160 sensor, a bright 50 mm F1.2 objective lens, 3.5x base magnification, and a 1920 x 1080 AMOLED display in a familiar, center-balanced scope profile.
Its built-in laser rangefinder measures to 1,640 yards at night and 1,312 yards during the day, while the onboard ballistic calculator can store five zeroing profiles. Recoil-activated video, 64 GB of internal memory, Wi-Fi through the RIX+ app, and replaceable 21700 or 18650 battery compatibility round out a feature set built for hog hunting, predator control, and after-dark property use.
Important: The Tourer T50 4K is digital night vision, not thermal. It creates an image from available visible or infrared light rather than detecting heat. An IR illuminator mount is included, but an IR illuminator is not listed in the included package.
Why the Tourer T50 4K Stands Out
- Native 4K sensor: The 3840 x 2160 sensor preserves more visual detail for target identification and digital zoom than lower-resolution digital night vision sensors.
- Bright 50 mm F1.2 lens: The large aperture gathers more available light as daylight fades. RIX states that F1.2 captures 2.25 times more light than an F1.8 aperture.
- Built-in 1,640-yard LRF: Range targets to 1,640 yards at night or 1,312 yards during the day with published accuracy of approximately +/-1.09 yards.
- Onboard ballistic calculation: Use measured distance with stored ballistic data and up to five zeroing profiles instead of moving between a scope, separate rangefinder, and phone.
- 3.5-28x magnification: The 3.5x base view supports practical field scanning through the rifle, while 8x digital zoom provides a closer look when needed.
- 1080p AMOLED display: The 0.49-inch, 1920 x 1080 display delivers a detailed sight picture with 48 mm of eye relief.
- Day, low-light, and night modes: Select optimized image modes, including natural Day-STD color and higher-contrast Day-VIV color, as conditions change.
- Recoil-activated video: RAV automatically captures footage around the shot, while photos and 1796 x 1080 video save to 64 GB of internal memory.
- Flexible field power: Run one replaceable 21700 battery or use an 18650 battery with the included adapter sleeve. Two 21700 batteries are included.
- Field-ready construction: IP67 protection, a -4°F to 122°F operating range, and a published 1000 g / 6000 J recoil rating support real hunting use.
4K Detail from Daylight into Darkness
The Tourer T50 uses a 4K digital sensor rather than a thermal detector. In daylight, that means a full-color, camera-like view that can show natural details such as body shape, markings, terrain, fences, and vegetation. The Day-STD mode favors true-to-life color, while Day-VIV increases color contrast when a target needs to stand out against a complex background.
As light fades, the fixed F1.2 lens helps the sensor make better use of the light that remains. In darkness, the scope uses infrared light to create its night image. Available ambient IR may be enough in some conditions, but a separate IR illuminator is the dependable choice in true zero-light environments.
Built-In Rangefinding and Ballistic Calculation
Distance can be difficult to judge through any digital display. The Tourer T50 addresses that problem with a laser rangefinder integrated into the center turret instead of adding a bulky external module. Published ranging capability reaches 1,640 yards at night and 1,312 yards in daylight.
After the distance is measured, the onboard ballistic calculator can display a calculated aiming solution. Five zeroing profiles let you store setups for different rifles, loads, or zero distances. Ballistic data can be entered on the scope or managed through the RIX+ app.
Who the RIX Tourer T50 4K Is Best For
- Hog and coyote hunters working fields, feeders, crop edges, and known shooting lanes.
- Hunters who want one optic for both daytime and nighttime use.
- Buyers who prefer a photographic image for target identification instead of a thermal heat map.
- Shooters who want integrated rangefinding and ballistic correction without a separate rangefinder.
- Users who value a traditional 30 mm ring-mounted scope profile and center-balanced design.
- Hunters who want replaceable, widely available 21700 or 18650 battery options.
Who should consider something else?
If your main job is finding animals quickly in total darkness, brush, fog, or low-contrast terrain, a thermal riflescope may be the better first tool. Thermal detects heat without visible or infrared illumination. The Tourer T50 makes more sense when natural detail, target identification, and one-scope day/night versatility matter most.
RIX Tourer T50 4K vs. AGM Spectrum LRF 4K
The AGM Spectrum LRF 4K is the closest direct comparison currently sold by Thermal Bros. Both use a 3840 x 2160 sensor, 50 mm lens, 3.5-28x magnification, 1080p display, built-in rangefinder, ballistic calculator, recording, Wi-Fi, and 64 GB of storage. The differences are in how each scope is built and powered.

|---|---|---|
| Sensor | 3840 x 2160 | 3840 x 2160 |
| Lens | 50 mm F1.2 fixed aperture | 50 mm F1.2-F2.5 adjustable aperture |
| Magnification | 3.5-28x | 3.5-28x |
| Published LRF range | 1,640 yd night / 1,312 yd day | 1,000 m / 1,094 yd |
| Power system | Replaceable 21700 or adapted 18650; two 21700 batteries included | Built-in battery plus replaceable 18650 |
| Best reason to choose it | Longer published LRF range, battery flexibility, and compact classic-scope layout | Adjustable aperture and longer published continuous battery system |
Choose the Tourer T50 when long-range onboard ranging, replaceable 21700 power, and a compact traditional profile matter most. Choose the Spectrum when you specifically value an adjustable aperture and its built-in-plus-replaceable battery arrangement. If you want a simpler entry-level option without integrated LRF or ballistics, compare the Sightmark Wraith 4K Mini.
