Nice one Nath and i to like the Pulsar products and i 100% agree with you about the audio at the moment as the quality and play back of it is shocking for the price of the scope so hope fully they sort it out hence why i go for the Alpex at the moment over my C50 even though the C50 still is a cracking scope.

While I'm familiar with some modern military systems, the systems coming out now in the civilian market are pretty bloody good. Compared to what we were using back-in-the-day, when I was shooting a bit, these things are pure science-fiction. I remember in the 80s one of my mates got his hands on a set of ex-Soviet NVGs. They were a monocle system and ate batteries alive. 25 minutes tops out of the batteries before you had to put new ones in. They weighed a ton and you couldn't wear them for long or you got a sore neck. 2 hours battery life? What a dream!

For a hunting situation, you are correct. I was just wondering in the case of serious problems where defense was needed, how far would it hold up before you couldn't identify your target? An example, an animal is messing with your livestock, you might not have time to get closer, and need to end the threat immediately.

Solid vid mate . Do you have to press a button for the laser range finder or does it just update automatically where the rectile lies every few seconds ?

No, you need to activate it. But can set to scan mode. An the LRF has it's own aiming box, not the scope reticle you fire with.

Great review mate, got to ask why the need for a anti cant level when the scope has one internally?

@EDGEoftheOUTBACK

Жыл бұрын

It's not a very fine level of anti cant in them digitally, I like the bubble level as I can get the scope bang on aligned when I'm sighting in too. Helps with the slimmer reticles that don't fill the screen.

Interesting you use the motion sensor tool... As xm50 shooter...looks like this unit might come close per long range image. Ballistic info for long shots and lrf to quickly see how far a retreating fox is sounds very very good. Look forward to the ballistics review. Interesting about sound not being so good on later models. Thanks. {I take 4x aps3 batteries with me...to be sure...xm50...but leave scope on..sometimes the seconds really do count
