Best digital day/night scope at present?

[homer]

Well it's not looking good for the Nocpix as a night scope? Although it has a 70mm lens some of that is taken up by the built in range finder and it has F 2.0 lens. Nocpix website says target recognition range 200 meters using the supplied IR, hopefully the Wraith or Blade will increase that.

Your thoughts Ian ?

Think ill stick to my vulpine, was clearly looking at rabbits over 450y the other night.

Yes a good day optic with the right coatings and rear add on with laser is as good as you will get long range on a good night...

The Zulus 4K looks pants in HD mode, keep it in 4K , it will be more sensitive though as you will avoid the pixel binning, like I've said from the start this is the downside with 4K, they need big lenses like the Alpex A50EL to perform long range at night..

If i had to choose only one it would be the Alpex A50EL, for a centrefire it's just too good at everything...sod the weight, put your big boy pants on .

Do you mean the Alpex 4k not the old (original) model?

@Blackwood Outdoors does the pard 2 have different zoom levels, like going up in little bits, or does it just jump/double like the pard ds35 ?

(Sorry don't know the proper term for it!)

If you update the ds35 it gives you incremental zoom!

I have a Alpex 4K A50E and its spot on and as it sits on a rifle with a varmint barrel so the weight isnt an issue and I walk a lot of miles. Daylight performance is fine and does everything I need.

I also bought a V2 Zulus for the HMR ... lovely and light and great for a nice light set up but much prefer the Alpex.

The Alpex 4K A50EL not the A50T

Where do I do that?

Im interested in a dnt v2 but unsure whether I want 3-12 or 5-20. The higher mag is appealling but does it come at the cost of limited FOV? I use a thermnight 635 on my main rifle but quite fancy digital on my 223. Are the v2 and 635 comparable in digital performance?

223 distance I'd go higher base all day long. Assuming you've thermal spotter, thats where wider FOV helps, then turn scope on when you know where to point it.

223 I would go the 5 to 20 as well. I don't think the fov is especially note worthy one way or the other for 5x. I don't think I have any day scope with a less than 4x base mag.

You've also got the PiP so you can stay at 5x and have a more zoomed image on the screen as well.

I had a Zulus v1 5-20 on my 223 for a while
It worked very well out to 200 +.

I have 5x20 V1 on my .223
Don't go 3x12

Thats a unanimous vote for the 5-20 then! Decision made. Thank you gents
