Nice one Jim that is probably some of the best Alpex footage i have seen and nice shooting to pal.

[@jimwood]

Thankyou Simon and yes its amazing just how good it can be. 👍

[@c.h.fieldsports9876]

Great video Jim , good bit of kit that , clear footage even without the ir, nice one 👍👍🤠

[@jimwood]

Cheers Col and yeah I absolutely love this scope. If I'm honest I actually prefer my smaller ir torch on it at night rather than the laser unless I'm using it on the .223 for foxing 👍

I own a Hik Micro Stellar SH 50 and an ATN X Sight 4k Pro. I agree the vision does look a lot like a thermal. Without knowing the distances the big difference between IR and thermal is that my IR gives a more detailed picture than the thermal. Thermal really shines in picking up targets when there is scrub or long grass. That Alpex image is excellent in my view.

[@jimwood]

Absolutely and the image quality is really good with this scope on night mode. I still have my ATN 4K PRO and that to is great both day and night. How do you find the SH50?

[@regsparkes6507]

I know very little about 'night vision' scopes being here in Canada, ( it's a wonder we cans till buy ammunition, le alone be permitted to use kit like you have. Having said this, I think BOTH videos are clear as one could hope for. I do know CZ rifles as I have a few of those in all rimfire sizes and these are well worth the money. Thanks for this video Jim, very enjoyable viewing.

[@jimwood]

Thanks mate and yes the CZ is a cracking rifle I certainly wouldn't part with it. And the same goes for this scope. I only hope hikmicro hurry up and sort out an LRF for it. Thanks for watching 👍

[@TeamFoxer]

Top quality shooting and footage there mate. Well done.

[@jimwood]

Thanks Robin 👍 How are you finding the raptors? I tried them at the shooting show, they looked nice but seemed quite bulky

[@colin7334]

Some great footage. I’ve use my Alpex in night mode, no IR and got on well with it, looks like you’ve got a fair amount of rabbits to go at there!

[@davesmall5392]

Thanks for your honest videos of this scope I have one now. I got a big dog fox with no IR the other night near my lambing ewes. Plenty of moon though. Still just learning but foxes here ( Australia ) that have been missed under spotlight are very difficult with out night vision or thermal. Do you use 850 nm on foxes ? How much better are the aftermarket torches over the one with the scope. All the best.

[@jimwood]

No worries and thankyou for your comment. Yes it's a great scope I love my one especially when I put it on night mode with no ir. If there is plenty of moonlight you don't really need a torch. Regarding the aftermarket torches I use an optic fire tx38 and a irlightbuilds laser. Those are my goto torches. The optic fire is an 850nm. To be honest it's not that much better than the torch supplied with the scope but at longer range it is slightly better. I do have a couple of ir torches which I haven't tried with it yet. It's so difficult to target foxes if they are lamp shy which is where thermal scopes are the way to go. If you have anymore questions about the scope let me know mate. All the best Jim 👍

[@stillair1]

Great shooting, I've not seen a target rich environment like that for a number of years down south since vhd even on our prime perm golf course.

[@jimwood]

Thankyou and yes there are plenty about. You have to see it to believe it really especially when you scan round with a thermal and look in all the fields.

[@stillair1]

@@jimwood Yep a thermal spotter is great, as long as you don't forget it like I did the other night lol

[@jamescornflake1542]

Nice Jim. I am having a balls of a time lately trying to get a bold fox. I am unable to get him in range(( I might just swallow my pride and ask a dude with a Swift or 308 to take the job on. The fox ate geese. I have spent so many late nights baiting to no avail. I see the fox often. Very wary and knows my range))) Woe is me. Woe....

[@jimwood]

What range are you hoping to get the fox to so you can shoot it? And what gun will you be using?

Thanks Paul and yes I do the same with my rabbits. I gut them as soon as I can then they get given to the people who want them in the morning. Thanks for watching mate 👍

Do you think you will get hold of the HIKMICRO E20 for a play/review? Interested to see what it’s like but can’t find any footage yet of it with live quarry.

[@jimwood]

I do hope so. Trouble is I'm having an operation on my hand soon so I will be out of action for a few weeks. But I will ask them if its possible once its done

[@lyndsaycolclough]

nice shooting jim. i purchased the hikmicro cheetah lrf a few weeks ago.absolutley terrible picure.ended up selling it straight away.i think im going get the alpex going off your footage and try pairing it with a le 032. do you think the le 032 would work well with the alpex?

[@jimwood]

Thanks mate 👍 and that's interesting about the cheetah, I still have one here on loan and I found it to be ok if I'm honest, but I would say out to 100 yards max. More suited for closer range. The Alpex is so much better it really is the best day/night vision I've owned. I would say your lrf should work well with it I'm actually thinking of getting one for now to try with it so if you get the Alpex let me know if it works well with the lrf as I would be interested to know 👍

Hi Jim, mate I'm thinking of buying one of those A50Ts but I'm told it doesn't have an inbuilt RF. So I'm wondering what you use to read the range, thermal mono is so what brand and model or something else? cheers.

[@jimwood]

Hi mate no this first addition Alpex doesn't have a LRF but the new model is coming out at the end of the month which does have an LFR built in. I have pre ordered mine and cannot wait to try it out.

[@jimwood]

I have recently bought a pair of the hikmicro habrok which are a fantastic bit of kit they have a built in lrf and have day/ night vision and thermal all in one.

[@cyclo360]

@@jimwood Thanks mate...how did u get by without an RF?...I was told also about the new hk coming out but it will cos an extra 1k ( $1900) I'm on a budget of about 2k so I can afford a A50T plus a Hik Le 15 mono

[@jimwood]

@cyclo360 most of the time I used an LE-032 RF it's a great unit and cheap to. Highly recommended one. They cost around £150 over here. The Le-15 is a nice little unit no RF on it though.

[@cyclo360]

@@jimwood your right they are cheap Can it take readings with the A50T at night?

[@stephenlewis6903]

Hi, I've just bought an Alpex. After zeroing the PIP box doesn't sit directly above the main ret due to adjusting the 'x' & 'y' coordinates. Did you have the same issue? How did you find a workaround?

[@jimwood]

Hi yes I had the same trouble along with alot of other people. Did you zero it on profile A?

[@stephenlewis6903]

@jimwood many thanks for the reply. Yes I did zero my HW100 .177 on profile 'A' and ret option 4 as I like the FFP effect.

[@jimwood]

@stephenlewis6903 for some reason there seems to be an issue on profile A not sure why. Try zeroing on a different profile it should be OK. I use C,D,&E they are alot better. Its not bang on in line but its only a fraction out. Also I hide the time icon you can turn this off because if you leave it on its right in the PIP box which doesn't help. I've spoken to hikmicro about it so if you turn it off you get the full PIP. Hope this helps and let me know how you get on. Thankyou for watching my channel 👍

[@stephenlewis6903]

@jimwood thank you my friend, I appreciate your replies/help. I'll re-zero my rifle on profile 'B' and see what happens 👍. I've been scratching my head over this🙈. I'm surprised the ret image in the PIP box also doesn't show the ret hash marks! I'm contemplating downloading tge latest firmware but not sure if it's worth it at the moment. I really like your videos as they are no nonsense and you say it as it is👍

[@jimwood]

@stephenlewis6903 thankyou I appreciate that comment. Alot of people think I get paid by hikmicro and other companies for carrying out reviews but I don't. I'm an independent reviewer so I say it as it is. I get sent alot of products to try which is great but have to return them. In my opinion people want honest reviews so that's what I do. What I find wrong with products other paid youtubers won't mention which is wrong I think. I wouldn't worry about doing an update just yet just see how you get on with it first but if you decide to do one you won't lose your profile settings. I will be interested in how you get on mate so let me know. Do you upload video's?

[@vincebelmonte7710]

Hi nice vid so helpful i'm getting in to thermal rifle scopes can you give me 3 choices of what u recommend ,well be putting it on different calibers to try out 22, 17hmr ,22 mag or 223 mostly yardage well be 50 yards to max 150 yards and the budget 2000, 00 mostly coyote and racoons, thank you 👍

[@jimwood]

Hi firstly thank you for watching my video. Regarding the thermal scopes I use the hikmicro stellar sq50 it's fantastic but you probably won't find one for 2000 but you might be lucky. That would be my number choice. Secondly I would choice the iray tube tl35 it's really good image quality it records video but not sound. And thirdly I would go for the Pulsar thermion 2 xq50. Both of the last 2 you would pick up for under 2000. Bare in mind I haven't tried all thermal scopes but the 3 I have suggested would be my goto scopes. The hikmicro panther PH 35mm thermal is a great unit to especially on base mag but does pixilate when you zoom in abit. This one does have a built in LRF which is handy. One down side is if you use cheap 18650 batteries they don't last long so buy the best ones you can. This scope is also under 2000 I have done a video and review on it so check it out. I hope this has been helpful to you. 👍

Thanks mate and yes amazing image, but like I said works best last hour before dark and needing the ir torch

[@nigelhumphreysfsuk2833]

do you still use this scope and how is it going with it?

[@jimwood]

Yeah still use it mate. It's on my .22lr at the moment. I find the image quality really good day or not, personally I prefer night footage and if you put it on night mode when it's dusk it looks like a thermal in black hot mode. The objective focus is quite still I find and for some reason profile A is a no go for zeroing as the reticle doesn't centralise but does on the other profiles. Honestly mate I really do like this scope yes there are a couple of issues like any other digital scope but the overall performance is brilliant I think.
