Description
RIX Stride ST6 Lite Thermal Monocular
(1 – 6x Magnification & 1,423 Yards of Detection)
When scanning fields for coyotes or picking apart brush lines for hog movement, clarity and awareness matter. The RIX Optics Stride ST6 Lite delivers both in a lightweight thermal platform built for serious night hunters.
Powered by a 640×512, 12μm thermal sensor with NETD <20mK, the ST6 Lite produces sharp heat signatures and strong thermal contrast—making it easier to separate predators from background clutter. The 25mm F1.0 objective lens paired with a wide 17.5° × 13.1° field of view allows you to efficiently scan large areas while maintaining image detail.
True 1× magnification supports natural depth perception when head-mounted, giving predator hunters better situational awareness when moving between stands or scanning active sets. When you need more detail, the adjustable 1×–6× magnification lets you zoom in for confirmation before making a move.
The 1024×768 display presents crisp thermal imagery, while six selectable color palettes allow you to tune the image for varying terrain, vegetation, and environmental conditions. Eye-care viewing options help reduce fatigue during long nights in the field.
Built for flexibility, the RIX Stride ST6 Lite supports handheld or head-mounted use and features screw mounts compatible with helmets and vehicles. Powered by a rechargeable 18650 battery, it’s designed for extended predator hunting sessions without adding unnecessary weight.
Lightweight, adaptable, and purpose-driven, the RIX Stride ST6 Lite gives predator hunters a clear thermal advantage when it matters most.

Just received my RIX Stride ST6 lite 640, It is Awesome. I considered the Armasight sidekick then this released and had better specs at about $1000 less. I couldn’t be happier with the decision to get it. Blake at Predarorhunteroutdoor.com was great. He gave me a first responder/military discount plus 2 free batteries and a charger, free shipping and no tax made this the best deal for a new Stride ST6 on the internet. Blake answered all my questions and kept me updated the whole way. You guys are great, THANKS!!!

This device is a SUPER deal, and the PredatorHunter add-ons are legit! BACKGROUND: recently I was waiting for RIX to get the ST3 lite back in stock, and it gave me time to research other dealers. That’s when I found PredatorHunterOutdoors. They have a great deal on the ST6 lite, and my veteran status earned me an additional discount on top of that–plus free shipping and no sales tax for non-MI residents! Also, the ST6 lite is far superior to the ST3 lite. The ST6 has 4x better resolution, and you can focus the objective lens (it’s fixed on the ST3). In short, in my opinion, unless the ST6 is outside your budget, the ST3 is a waste of $1000, instead of the ST6 being $1000 too much. The extra batteries that PredatorHunter adds on are very good quality, and the 4-slot charger is MUCH better than the standard charger RIX supplies! Finally, like “bayoubuggies” notes, Blake was awesome to work with…I finalized my order with him after lunchtime, and he had it shipped the same day–many thanks to PredatorHunterOutdoors!!!
