Maximum advertised ranging distance increases from 1,312 yards on the V1 to 2,187 yards on the V2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eRIX also added enhanced sensitivity and weather-optimized ranging algorithms to improve performance in rain, fog and other difficult conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe rangefinder is rated for accuracy within approximately 1.09 yards and can operate in continuous-ranging mode. Its new left-side location improves clearance around the action of a bolt-action rifle while remaining easy to access on an AR platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThat placement change may sound small, but it addresses one of the most common problems with compact thermal scopes that were originally designed primarily around AR-style rifles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt-In Ballistic Calculator\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe integrated ballistic calculator uses the measured target distance and the shooter’s saved ballistic information to display a suggested point of aim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eBallistic profiles are configured through the RIX+ mobile app. The Storm S3R V2 supports five independent zeroing profiles, allowing the scope to store settings for different rifles, ammunition loads or suppressed and unsuppressed configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe onboard attitude system can also display pitch and roll angle. This helps the ballistic system account for uphill or downhill shooting while allowing the shooter to identify rifle cant before taking a longer shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLarger 1920×1080 AMOLED Display\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe original Storm S3R used a 0.39-inch 1024×768 OLED display.

RIX also redesigned the eyepiece with a larger exit pupil and 52mm of eye relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe new optical design is intended to maintain a consistent image when the shooter’s eye moves slightly away from the center of the eyepiece. This can make it easier to get behind the scope quickly when shooting from a tripod, standing position or unconventional field position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRedesigned QD Mount for AR and Bolt-Action Rifles\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eRIX raised and extended the quick-detach Picatinny mount to provide additional fore-and-aft adjustment.
