steve_b_wales Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 Has anyone use the above scope on different rifle's, or knows someone who has, and the zeroing stays the same? I'm thinking of getting one to go on my .22LR, .22 Hornet and .204 Ruger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow243 Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 Hi i have used mine on .22 & .25 air rifle and 22lr as long as you use picatinny mounts and replace the rings in the same slot each time it will be fine ps i just did the update on mine it now has 10 reticules to choose from and the zoom can go up in stages now ie 1 1.2 1.3 1.4 etc instead of 1x 2x 4x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scope's that I have on the rifles at the moment are worth far more (combined) than the Alpex price tag. I have got a Vulpine Mk3 NV add on which I have used on the rifles mentioned and is excellent. I would also sell this should I purchase the Alpex.

I did this once with a Pulsar NV but the zero was lost between rifles. I use a Vulpine Mk3 with excellent results, but I just 'fancied' the Alpex. Perhaps I'll buy one and keep it for one rifle only, either my .22 Hornet or .243. Edited March 15, 2023 by steve_b_wales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow white Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 That’s what I have done wraith on one gun and hickmicro on another gun I just don’t trust it and if it doesn’t work you have gone out in the dark and can’t zero up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are better off doing that i have done it on 4 of mine Xq50 pulsar thermal on 17 Hornet Hikmicro on 243 and wraith on 308 and another wraith on .22lr nothing worse than finding out your zero has shifted when your out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rim Fire Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Use the fishing coasters with the big round nobs thats what I use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow243 Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 as rim fire said use the fishing coaster set the objective to your usual shooting distance then tighten the coaster at your preferred angle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rim Fire Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Tried one don't know if it was that make but it broke the fishing coaster is very strong if you look in DIY thread I also stuck some door stops off cupboards to help in the dark it really helps looking through your scope and can find which button you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
