Thread: Dnt zulus or hikmicro alpex 4k lrf?

Hey guys! This will be my first post here! Looking forward to delving into your minds and experience with these day/night vision scopes with ballistics to try and work out which is best! I've also been considering thermnight tnc225r for the additional multispectral imaging. What are your thoughts? Many thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard

Cannot comment on the hikmicro alpex, but can 100% recommend the Zulus.
Been through a number of NV scopes, and the Zulus is the best I have come across to date. The multispectral sounds interesting. but the resolution is pretty low. Positive target identification will be troublesome. I'm holding out to see the 335 or 635 versions before I will upgrade.
The best all round package in my opinion, is a NV scope with LRF and ballistics, and as good a handheld thermal as you can afford. Thermalling an area is infinitely easier with a handheld unit, and you are not pointing your rifle at things your shouldn't be pointing your rifle at when you are checking an area for livestock, houses, etc.

thanks for the reply Quentin, im the owner of a thermtec 635 wild lrf! good bit of kit learned to love it and not live without it now!

also i thought i was sold on one of the above, but now ive just fallen down the rabbit warren looking at the new dnt thermnight 335r! pretty neat bit of kit hoping to have a yarn with ken shortly.

Ken's a GC, and will see you right. Got my 2 thermals and the Zulus from him.

I can highly recommend the Zulus. I use mine for small game and feral pigeons, and the image and functionality is spot on. I've got it teamed with a handheld thermal and it works well for me. As you know, see Ken, he'll sort you out.

I don't own an Alpex but I do have a Zulus. The thing that puts me off the Alpex is the weight, their over a KG before you put an IR torch on. The alpex daylight performance looks pretty impressive but the Zulus is no slouch, I am quite impressed with their performance in both night and day mode. Functions are pretty user friendly and they weigh around 1/2 what the alpex does.

The Sytong HT-70 is no slouch either.
Slightly better day optics for the Zulus. User friendliness and more reliable range finder for the Sytong.
On par for at night.
Both rugged units.
