    RICO 2 L42R

    Identifies a hog at 150 yd25° apparent FOV — how big the view looks

    The Nocpix RICO 2 L42R ranks #22 of 53 384-class scopes on image: priced above the class middle without the image to match — the chart below shows scopes with more picture for the money (image 63, class median 62; $2,489 against $1,995). The same InfiRay core sits in the Bering Hogster ZAP 2.8-11.2x35mm at $1,375 — the extra $1,114 here buys the 42mm lens and the rangefinder. The 5-year warranty follows the scope through a resale.

    Pros
    • Built-in laser rangefinder
    • Identifies a hog to ~175 yd
    • 5-yr transferable warranty
    Cons
    • 40 mK — noisier in low light
    • Narrow 6.3° field of view
    • Short ~5 h battery
