That is a cracking bit of kit.
I’m old school now with a pulsar C50 (which I’m more than happy with) but that is a different league.

The C50 is still a very capable bit of kit, it's light gathering ability is probably on a par with the Hik 4k. I was using a Vulpine Mk3 (which I still have) so my standards were high. Must admit I've been really impressed by what features the Hik offers at the price point.

Sorry about thatOhhh you're a bad influence on me..!!
If you were in the market for a tube style NV device I honestly believe it's the best of the bunch by some way. Yes at higher mag the image will pixilate but with the right IR it really is very very good up to 13x-14x mag and you will never need any more than that.

Yeah but I'm not a good boyChristmas is coming
Don' t hold your breath for any 8k scopes - not unless you want something that has little or no NV performance

Anyone know if the Pulsar C50 due for an upgrade or replacement anytime soon as the competition eats into its market share?
Be nice if they could drop the weight a good bit. At 1.2 kg it's a lot. 700gram would be much nicer.

Really? I carry mine about all night and it's not a problem.
I've a varmint barrel rifle which is heavy anyway, I know should have got a sporter. but more so it tips the rifle over when resting on sticks.

The alpex is a nice scope, put mine on a 22lr, the weight is considerable, had to get a trigger stick to support it, cracking bit of kit
Pulsar have finished with NV - too much competition and not enough profit for them
Mid-high end thermal is the only place they can make decent money nowadays and even there they are being squeezed by HIK

If you want a lighter scope then the DNT Zulus is the answer - just over 600g all up including IR
By the time you put a decent IR onto an Alpex 4k it weighs almost three times as much as a Zulus
I said earlier in this thread that the Alpex4k is better at dawn and dusk than the Zulus - and that's true for colour images
When you switch to NV mode with and without IR there's nothing in it.
