HikMicro Alpex PRO A50PL Digital day & night scope - VERSUS - DNT ZULUS 4K Digital day & night scope - VERSUS - NocPix NITE D70R digital day & night

[Alhamander]

I've been toying with the idea of a digital scope for a year or so but all the reviews don't fit the criteria I need.
I'm not bothered about daytime use but it would come in handy sometimes.
I've used a night force nxs with an archer
on the rear for over 20 years.
my question is, how good will they be compared to my set up?
I shoot on 12 power and alot of my shots due to the terrain are over 200yds out to 350yds.
I'm shooting from a good restaurant most of the time though.
has anyone any footage of 200yds to 300 yds at 12 power they could post please.View attachment 461071

Now that is a set-up I now want to replicate! Off to the shed...

in your shed you'll need.
old coffee table frame.
bit of sheet wood.
bit of old carpet.
and an adjustable clothes prop.
optional extras are an old patio umbrella to keep the rain off.
a sheet glass suction carrier and an aerobics arm weight for the bag rest.

It's brilliant...I intend to burst out of the shed like the A-Team, off to find a zeroing spot! Thanks

Not seen many YouTubers look at the nocopix at the shooting show? Was looking forward to seeing a comparison against the new Hik offering

I think we just have to patiently and these 3 scopes everyone is talking about will get extensive night time reviews at range for us all to see.

Sorry if this sounds a little harsh ...its nice to be able to shoot out to 400 yards at night but in most cases its possible to get a lot closer, so possibly use the 2 things attached to your arse and walk closer.

The furthest fox I shot was 395 yards with a Pulsar N750A and it was nice and clear (albeit the PIP mag was 11x). I have an Alpex 4K A50E and that is fine out to 250+. I think this expectation of sub £1k scopes having daytime optics like £3k glass are somewhat unrealistic as is having crystal clarity at 20x zoom at 400 yards at night .

Just saying

Completely agree - and then factor in the weather - just a bit of moisture and the detail disappears on thermals and is much reduced on day/night scopes. Last night I had to wait for about an hour for the moisture to reduce so zi could see anything again.

I had an n470 , sold it to upgrade to an Alpex and an Atn x sight 5 . I wish I'd not sold it. It was better than both in the dark.

When I purchased my last analogue scope, I paid a lot £££ but was pretty happy that a massive improvement was not around the corner. I like the idea of digital/IR scopes and the greater flexibility in shooting they can facilitate - but it brings back Moore's Law. Each of these OEMs is producing a new product or upgraded product in quick succession. Not being an early adaptor and managing my FOMO (which I definitely have) has been the right decision so far. Admittedly the price point is about 1/3 of great analogue glass, I think the HIK Alpex Pro is now on pre-order - will be interesting to see how that compares.

Let's be honest, we're being drip fed , they're not going to kill the fattened calf . The technology already exists to make a fantastic digital night vision unit , big objective , more sensitive sensors , high def' display , lrf and internal ballistics calculator .

I have got to the point i just cant really be arsed with it anymore
I have gone back to the drone pro for certain jobs
