What do we think is the best night vision scope out of the pulsar digex c50, hik micro alpex or the infiray TD50L to go on a .17hmr
Thanks

Best night vision scope
- Thread starter gregggieee
- Start date
Alex has the edge all the way because of its lrf and ballistic program, But saying that your using a .17 hmr so its flat ish out to 175-200 yards anyway so it won’t matter really. You will be able to you tube review of images and decide what’s best for you because everyone’s opinions vary. I have a couple of aloex’s and they do the job fine for what I need but I would like a better picture once you zoom in but that’s digital scopes for you 
i have a c50 currently , would you say the alpex is worth chopping in the C50 for or is the image just “ a bit better”?
Is it worth the hassle?
Thanks
The lrf and ballistic calculator is the best reason it really is a god send

Yeah I wouldn’t need the ballistics and lrf model tbh, how do they mount to the rifle? Got a sako quad, can I just use regular rings?Alex has the edge all the way because of its lrf and ballistic program, But saying that your using a .17 hmr so its flat ish out to 175-200 yards anyway so it won’t matter really.

Yes definitely good value for money, looks like I’ll be leaning towards the alpex, any second hand ones about haha
I’ve the td70 amongst other scopes and I really rate it for the money £599 Scott country
@Blackwood Outdoors posted a cracking deal, £400 I think all in with a fee wee extras.
At that price brand new you wouldn't entertain second hand.
Yea just normal rings probably a high mount as most nv/thermal needs a high mount.

Right okay thanks for that, also I guess the alpex needs a IR torch added ontop. Does the scope come with the mounts for a torch?

Yeah that is very cheap for what you get!
Ian @ Blackwood's is giving a free ir with is Alpex

I’ve had the C50 and had a torch bolted on.
Can’t see the need for a big lump of a scope these days, especially for a neat little rifle like an HMR.
The non LRF Zulus is the kiddy for what you need, light, compact and simple to use.

That price is for the old Alpex, not the 4K.

Don't count out the Arken/DNT Zulus LRF ZHD520R
I've tried this side by side with the Alpex 4K (thanks to @mealiejimmy)
The Zulus is a different form factor, but is cheaper than the Alpex and comes with it's own in built IR torch (the Alpex doesn't). It's also got ballistics calculator etc.
While the Alpex had a better still/contrast-y image, the Zulus to my eye has a much higher refresh rate and is a lot smoother when scanning areas. Also the Alpex on highest magnification was a pixelated mess, the Zulus's image on max mag was much more usable.
