NocPix Bolt L35R 384 35mm LRF Thermal Scope – Real Features Under $2,000

The NocPix Bolt L35R is one of the most capable thermal scopes with an integrated laser rangefinder under $2,000, making it a strong option for hog and coyote hunters who want real-world performance without stepping into higher-priced 640 units. Built around a 384×288 thermal sensor with 12µm pixel pitch and ≤20 mK NETD sensitivity, the Bolt L35R delivers clean thermal separation and dependable clarity in real hunting conditions.

Paired with a 35mm F/1.0 germanium lens, the Bolt L35R provides a 3.5× native magnification, making it especially effective for shots inside 300 yards. Detection ranges approach 2,000 yards, while the high-contrast 1024×768 AMOLED display and Reality+ image processing maintain usable detail even when digitally zoomed.

Southern Precision Outdoors Field Perspective

From our experience, the Bolt L35R shines for hunters who want simple operation, accurate ranging, and dependable thermal performance without overpaying for features they don’t need. We’ve seen this unit perform well for hog and coyote hunting along field edges, cutovers, and mixed timber, where fast ranging and clean target separation matter most.

The 3.5× base magnification is a practical balance—wide enough for scanning, yet tight enough for confident shot placement. While this unit isn’t designed to replace a high-end 640 or 1280 thermal for long-range identification, it performs extremely well in real-world predator and hog hunting where budget and value matter.

Designed for Bolt Guns, ARs, and Practical Hunters

The NocPix Bolt L35R uses standard 30mm ring mounting and is compatible with both bolt-action rifles and AR platforms. Rings or a mounting system are NOT included, allowing shooters to choose their preferred 30mm rings or mount to match their rifle and shooting style.

Built to handle demanding environments, the Bolt L35R features a T-6063 aluminum housing, an IP67 waterproof rating, and recoil resistance rated up to .300 Win Mag / 7mm Mag, ensuring reliable performance in tough conditions.

Power is supplied by a dual-battery system, combining an internal rechargeable battery with a hot-swappable 18650 auxiliary battery. USB-C external power support provides additional flexibility for extended night hunts.

Integrated LRF and Ballistic Capability

One of the standout features of the Bolt L35R is its integrated 1,300-yard laser rangefinder, offering ±1-yard accuracy. The built-in ballistic calculator provides fast holdover corrections, allowing hunters to range, calculate, and engage targets efficiently—features rarely found in thermal scopes at this price point.
