Alpex 4k reticle question

[Hunterfisher]

Been through this issue with hik and elite optics As I discovered the same issue when mounting alpex on one of my rifles. Elite optics have put this issue forward to request to be sorted on a update as having to increase mag to recenter your reticle is not ideal. However this issue is only noticeable when rail scope mounts ect are really far out from bore/line of fire cause extreme amounts of adjustment on your X or Y. Adjustable mounts would over come this however you are better off trying to fix the issue of being so far out of line to begin with. Fix that issue and you will be good. In other words you will hardly notice your reticle being off centre on base mag because you wouldn't have needed to make much adjustments on zeroing/ X Y
Hope this makes sense.

Also something else to note on the HIK ALPEX 4K LRF.
Magnification can play mind games with you a little bit if you are messing around changing settings ect just until you get your head around how it works.
So bare with me on this hopefully this will come across clear. So you are
setting your magnification on continuous instead of multiple hoping to go up in 1x increments but you find you are jumping from 3.5 mag to 7.5mag (missing out between 3.5 to 7.5)then eventually going up in 1x increments once you get passed 7.5 mag well this is why
As crazy as this may sound this is to do with what setting you have your reticle set on ie FIXED OR CENTRE. If you want to go from base mag (3.5x) all the way up to (28x) in 1x increments with out the jump to (7.5x)you can do this by switching your retical setting to FIXED retical instead of central. Obviously not ideal to do if you have needed to put a lot of X and Y in when Zeroing leaving your retical miles away from centre of screen on base mag. Hopefully this issue will be resolved on next few updates fingers crossed.
Hope this helps

What does it say on the top right corner? A1?

Try changing that to a2 and see if it changes?

Had to do this on mine
Set on A2 now

I don't think that's crazy at all. The reason it jumps from 3.5 mag to 7.5 when the scope is set to 'continuous' and 'centre reticle' is because the reticle has moved so far off whilst zeroing the rifle. This is because the 'centre reticle' option moves the whole display in order centre the reticle and until the magnification has been upped sufficiently it's just not possible . At what magnification it can move the whole display in order to centre the reticle (and hence start to increase the magnification continuously), depends on how far the reticle was moved off centre during zeroing.

Yes I agree.This is why in my opinion it's more a issue with the mounting of the scope being so far out of line. Also
In my case I was unlucky with my LRF Alinement from factory. so anything over 3.5x removes my LRF box completely off the screen this was mainly because my LRF box was already starting at top of screen on 3.5x so any zoom just takes box completely off screen. I have noticed on several YouTube videos the LRF box on these scopes are posisoned in all different places.Adjustable mounts is one way to help this situation Zeroing as close as possible with mounts first before zeroing with scope. I was informed it's luck of the draw with regards to LRF Alinement from factory. On two of my identical rifles it was not as bad with LRF box as when zeroing I was moving my X and Y up screen closer to my LRF box so on them caliber profiles I could keep LRF box on screen with a little extra magnification. LRF box is always fixed based on the positioning of your lazer so when zeroing your X/Y in actual fact you are moving your retical sometimes further away from LRF box. PIP can also come in useful if experiencing this issue as you can use magnification but also keep LRF box on main screen at base magnification. I hope this helps anyone else experiencing these encounters and don't be put off.
All in all I am very happy with my alpex 4k LRF. I have had tried and tested a great number of different night vision scopes and in my opinion the alpex 4k LRF and pulsar C50 are two of the better night vision digital scopes and do recommend both.

Sounds like you guys need some top-rate scope rings & bases where both (fore & aft) may be adjusted for scope to bore alignment.

PM me for further guidance!
