HIKMICRO Alpex 4K A50EL LRF Optics Warehouse


The night vision rifle scope world changed in 2022 when HIKMICRO released the revolutionary HIKMICRO Alpex. This new generation of digital night vision hunting rifle scopes featured a CMOS sensor that not only provided one of the best night images we had seen from a digital night vision scope, but one that could provide a full colour image at twilight. Due to its aggressive price point and superb performance, hunters around the world quickly adopted it for its exceptional day and night capabilities, innovative features, and user-friendly design. This acclaim led to it being named the Best Night Vision Product at the 2023 British Shooting Awards.

Fast forward to 2023/2024, following on from the success of the Alpex came the brand new HIKMICRO Alpex 4K LRF featuring the latest 4k sensor, providing an improved day time viewing performance yet still keeping the fan favourite twilight system that made the HIKMICRO Alpex famous. One of the main reasons that got the shooting community excited about the release of the HIKMICRO Alpex 4K is the fact that the Alpex 4K is now available with an integral 1000m ballistic laser rangefinder incorporated into the objective of the rifle scope. This is a priceless feature when shooting at night and has helped the  HIKMICRO Alpex 4K cement itself at the top of the night vision rifle scope market again after it lost some ground to the Pard DS35 70 LRF as a lot of shooters were wanting laser range finding capabilities, even though the Alpex 4K performed better in night, day and twilight conditions.

The Alpex 4K LRF is now even more sophisticated than its predecessor thanks to its UHD 3840x2160 detector and a new 0.49” 1920x1080 sub-round large OLED display that provides a new observation perspective for its users, helping them seamlessly transition from a traditional day optic. As well as the UHD sensor delivering a vivid and layered image unlike many have seen before, it now features a continuous magnification range from a base optical magnification of 3.5x right through to 28x, making the HIKMICRO Alpex 4K the perfect partner for many types of hunts, including farm building clearance, woodland stalking or shooting over open fields.

Another standout feature of the HIKMICRO Alpex 4K that has not been seen on other competitors night vision rifle scopes is a F1.2-2.5 adjustable aperture lens system, which can be utilised to eliminate overexposure and enhance the depth of field for unparalled daytime hunting. The partnerships of a wide field of view, powerful magnification range, laser rangefinder (optional) and 4K image contribute to making the Alpex 4K your best bet when choosing a night vision rifle scope.

Ballistic rangefinders have become almost a necessity to most night shooters these days and the new HIKMICRO ballistic calculator is as effortless to use as anyones. The accurate 1000m laser rangefinder can be easily operated from the eyepiece of the Alpex 4K LRF by a simple push of a button, providing a +/-1m accuracy even at extreme ranges. The units internal ballistic calculator system will then adjust the POI (point of impact) and compensate for the set bullet information given to it by the shooter. This system allows the shooter to keep their shots accurate and on target, even at long distances. Both the HIKMICRO A50E and A50EL are able to have five zero profiles in which the shooter can choose between 10 different reticle styles in 8 different colours.
