    BOLT L35R

    Recognizes a hog at 150 yd26° apparent FOV — how big the view looks

    The Nocpix BOLT L35R ranks #32 of 53 384-class scopes on image: class-typical image at a class-typical price — image scores bunch tight in this class, so what separates scopes is features and price, not sensor (image 60, class median 62; $1,999 against $1,995). The same InfiRay core sits in the Bering Hogster ZAP 2.8-11.2x35mm at $1,375 — the extra $624 here buys the rangefinder. The 5-year warranty follows the scope through a resale.

    Pros
    • Built-in laser rangefinder
    • 5-yr transferable warranty
    Cons
    • 40 mK — noisier in low light
    • Narrow 7.5° field of view
    • Heavy for its class · 36.04 oz

    What the price buys

    How we compare →

    Computed by comparing this scope against its own siblings on the board — same sensor and lens held equal. Refreshed with every catalog update.

    +$200 of packaging on the same picture
    Same 384×288 sensor and 35 mm lens as the SLIM L35 at $1,799. The extra buys a rangefinder — not detail at distance. One caveat: Nocpix prints ≤20 mK on the cheaper one and ≤18 mK here — a tighter factory tuning of the same sensor, not a different part.
