New alpex

It’s not a stupid question and if you are looking to gain the most out of legal light then it’s an important one.
I would wait to see how the new Alpex stacks up in a direct test with the old one and the C50 which will do what you are asking with ease.
When are you back from holidays on AGF? I've posted a few vids in the hunting section on there. Getting on well with the Aplex so far but early days yet.

Good to hear mate, a few days left in jail, i really shouldn’t try and argue with the resident forum clown on there! Should know better😉
 
I’m torn as to whether to buy the new alpex or a c50, any users of the new alpex provide any reviews yet? I have the old alpex already and love it, but I really prefer the pulsar build quality. However the ballistic software on board the new alpex does look fantastic, potentially standing in for a dialling scope out to 400m?


Seems to be a bit of a deal here

 
Probably a stupid question but....without an IR, will the Alpex 4K give clear images throughout the legal deer stalking period - 1 hour before sunrise to 1 hour after sunset? And would that be in 'day' mode or would you have to switch to 'night' mode? I don't do any night shooting but considering buying one to squeeze all available 'legal' time out of a stalking trip.
The Alpex is amazing for low light situations.
On day mode when you only see grey's, the Alpex still gives a bright coloured picture.
First time I tried it I was amazed
 
Do I need LRF/ballistic calculator???? Or just the standard 4K????? I very rarely shoot over 200m


Sorry ACM for hyjacking
I found myself with the same decision to make and figured for the £150 extra it would be useful to have. Might never go on a rimfire but makes the unit more flexible in my opinion. Only you can decide what's right for yourself.

It's not so much the distance you shoot at but the trajectory of the bullet(s) you shoot
The LRF and ballistic calculator are most advantageous if you shoot a bullet/pellet with a loopy trajectory like air rifles or rimfires
For fast centrefire bullets there's not as big an advantage.
For deer legal cartridges and sensible ranges, holdover rarely comes into the equation so an LRF and BC won't make much if any difference to how you shoot
For long range target shooting or plinking with a centrefire where an LRF and ballistic calculator would be useful, the Zulus (or any digital scope ) simply doesn't have the resolution to be able to see the target clearly enough to make accurate shots

We have more Alpex 4K LRF arriving tomorrow, we also have plenty of Alpex 4K standard models in stock.

Since it's the BSS weekend , if you leave a comment on checkout that you are a SD member we will include one of our NightBlaster IR illuminators free with the Alpex, these work excellent with the 4K units, producing a smooth clean image..

That’s typical, I should have waited a few more days before ordering my Alpex 4K LRF from you.

Well mines arrived with the IR you kindly provided, I already have an original alpex, frankly I’m blown away, and the ballistic calculator is also awesome. Not Zeroed on a rifle yet but it’s a big step up from my original alpex or c50.
Thanks for the great service @Blackwood Outdoors

Thanks Bruce, it'll either sit on the .308 or 6.5 and used mainly from the highseat to get that last 15 minute advantage - rarely over 200 yards. I'll keep the traditional scope for woodland stalking where I find clarity and the use of parallax a great advantage for avoiding shooting branches.
