I'm after some advice/opinions. I'm wanting a night vision scope for my .223 as a foxing rig. Looking at either a Zulus lrf or alpex 4k. What's people's opinions on these and has anyone compared them?
 
Low light digital performance vs weight…

The Alpex is better due to its larger lens, but as a consequence is far heavier.

30mm tube also makes the Alpex more user friendly.

Both are good and have their merits. 👍
 
As said I think people will recommend what they got. The Zulus is cheaper though.

I do have a zulus on a 223 as it goes. Very good foxing tool.

Pros and cons as they say. If you want to see in action videos on the Zulus let me know.

Both will do the job well.
It very much comes down to price and personal taste
Alpex 4 k users tend to like that it looks like a scope, is lower above the rifle bore and definitely has better low light colour performance (due to it's larger objective lens)
Against that it doesn't come with scope rings or an IR illuminator and adjustable illuminator mount - and it's base price is £250 more than a Zulus
Despite it's poorer low light colour performance, the difference between the Zulus and Alpex 4 k in full darkness with IR is minimal
The Zulus is much lighter, and ready to go straight out of the box - a picatinny mount and excellent IR are already there
Both scopes have LRFs and ballistic calculators already fitted and ready to go as soon as the user has familiarised themselves with operation of the scopes

Cheers

The Zulus is £600 and the alpex is £850 plus the cost of an IR torch and its mount and scope rings.

The Zulus includes a mount for the actual scope.

Quite a different price bracket.
