Designed for hunters who demand clarity, stability, and precision in every condition, the ThermTec Oryx-L 650 combines advanced thermal imaging with intelligent ergonomics. Featuring a built-in laser rangefinder, ThermTec AutoSight System (TASS), and a central turret focus system, it delivers confidence and control when light fades and weather turns rough.
Field-Tested in Austria: A Hunter’s Perspective
Austrian hunter Michael Hallinger put the Oryx-L 650 to the test across the forests and farmlands of Lower Austria, where wild boar, roe deer, and foxes challenge even the most experienced hunters.
“The image quality is impressive — clear outlines and strong detail recognition, even at longer distances,” Michael shared. “What really stood out was the stability, even in rain, fog, or fluctuating temperatures.”
He described the Oryx-L 650 as a “reliable, feature-rich, and affordable thermal scope” that combines sharp imaging with smart, hunter-focused functionality — ideal for those who value performance and practicality in real hunting situations.
Consistent Clarity in Every Condition
With its NETD ≤15mK sensor, the Oryx-L 650 delivers exceptional thermal sensitivity, revealing heat signatures through light cover, fog, or mist.
Even smaller animals, such as foxes and hares, appear clearly defined — enabling quick detection and confident identification.
“One of the biggest advantages was how efficient my hunts became, even in poor visibility,” Michael noted.
The balance of optical and digital zoom ensures detailed and stable images at any magnification, while AI calibration minimizes shutter interruptions for smooth, uninterrupted observation. This combination of sensitivity and stability provides hunters the confidence to make accurate, ethical shots in challenging conditions.
Precision Ranging and Seamless Performance
The Oryx-L 650’s integrated laser rangefinder measures distances up to 1200 meters with instant precision — eliminating the need for extra gear or guesswork.
Michael found it invaluable for fast, reliable ranging across ridges or low-light environments.
He also praised the ThermTec AutoSight System (TASS), which automatically resets the scope to base magnification after each shot — keeping targets in view and ensuring seamless transitions between shots.
“Features like the rangefinder, TASS, and Recoil-Activated Video (RAV) work together so naturally — everything just flows,” Michael said.
The RAV function automatically captures each shot, allowing hunters to focus on the moment without manual recording.
Designed for Intuitive Control and Endurance
Handling is where the Oryx-L 650 truly shines. The central turret focus provides faster, smoother adjustments than traditional lens-mounted systems, allowing for rapid reactions to moving targets or changing distances.
Michael highlighted how the zoom encoder felt “natural and precise,” with tactile control that worked even in complete darkness. With essential settings like mode switching, brightness, and field-of-view adjustment located within easy reach, the Oryx-L 650 feels instinctive from the first use.
Built for endurance, it offers up to 8 hours of battery life, and with a spare battery on hand, hunters can rely on continuous operation — even during long nights or freezing alpine hunts.
A Scope Hunters Can Trust
For Michael, the ThermTec Oryx-L 650 is more than a thermal scope — it’s a trusted field companion. Its combination of crystal-clear imaging, intelligent design, and dependable power allows him to hunt with greater confidence, efficiency, and precision.
“It’s the kind of tool that simply performs — every time,” he concluded.
Whether stationed in a high seat, stalking quietly through dense forest, or scanning open fields at night, the Oryx-L 650 adapts effortlessly to every hunting style.
With its balance of performance, usability, and value, the ThermTec Oryx-L 650 stands out as a scope hunters can rely on — when clarity and confidence matter most.
