HIKMicro Alpex LRF - am I missing something ?

[DaveNeal]

I'm not a very advanced user of technology, but I've got this here electronic day/night scope and I'm wondering if I'm not using it right. I've got an eye bellow on it, but even with it removed, I cant see the entire window.

Reticle is fine, lrf square is there, but all the stuff off to the left ( magnification and stuff ) and the stuff up in the right top ( which profile, the range ) I've gotta twist my head around. I dont really wanna get closer on the eye relief, and I guess I dont really need to see the stuff around the outside when I'm pulling the trigger - is that the norm or is there a squinty eye setting I need to turn on or ......

Probably not the most experienced user as put in the ballistic data, zeroed it and only used it half a dozen times - all successful I might add.

Just got it out and had a play. Not too much of a drama on mine as I can see the side menu functions fine - being picky, not fully at the same time - to fully see either corner there is an element of slight movement of my head to do so - nothing that has bothered me for a shot.

I think the key is to ignore the rubber eyepiece at first - I removed for set up and zero then put it back on once done.

Superb bit of kit, only downside is that it’s a bit weighty.

I have the same issue with my Habrok. Everything is visible, with the exception of the LRF readout in the top corner. I have to slightly adjust to see it. Doesn't particularly bother me, however I can see it being an issue if I weren't able to see as much of the content as you can't.

I have to adjust to see my menu stuff on the left. I tried setting it up with less eye relief so I could see the whole viewfinder and once the bleeding had stopped, I moved it back and decided to live with moving my head around.

I’m not joking!

DOH! That's a mistake you just make once

My eye just sits at the end of the cup and no more and I can see everything? Not sure if that helps?

I removed the rubber cup almost as soon as I got mine. I can't see all info without moving my head slightly but I don't think I need to - too busy putting crosshair on deer. I hope the bruising has subsided - sorry - it did make me laugh.
