HIKMICRO Alpex A50T Review: Is It Worth Buying?

2026-08-15

The HIKMICRO Alpex A50 series has become one of the most talked-about 4K digital day/night scopes in the UK, and the Alpex A50T is the model shooters search for most. If you are weighing one up for foxing, vermin control or general day and night use, this review answers the question that matters: is it worth buying?

What is the HIKMICRO Alpex A50 series?

The Alpex A50 range is HIKMICRO's 4K digital day/night riflescope line. It gives you one scope that works in full daylight and switches to night mode with the help of an IR illuminator. The A50T name sits within this family, with the current UK models covering different budgets and feature sets.

Key specifications to know

4K UHD sensor with a high-resolution OLED display
Day and night capability in a single scope (IR illuminator required after dark)
Laser rangefinder (LRF) on the A50EL and A50PL models, up to 1200 m
Onboard recording, Wi-Fi and the HIKMICRO Sight app
Long eye relief and a forgiving field of view for a digital scope

Which Alpex A50 model fits your budget?

The range is genuinely flexible, which is a big part of its appeal:

HIKMICRO Alpex 4K A50E — £599.99. The value pick: 4K day/night without LRF.
HIKMICRO Alpex LRF 4K A50EL — £699. A 4K unit with a 1200 m laser rangefinder.

Is the Alpex A50T worth buying?

Yes, for most people. The 4K image quality is excellent for the money, the day/night flexibility removes the need for two optics, and the LRF models take the guesswork out of range estimation. The main trade-offs are the usual digital-scope ones: it relies on an IR illuminator after dark, and it is heavier than a dedicated thermal scope.

If you want one scope for daylight and night use without paying thermal money, the Alpex A50 range is one of the best buys in the UK right now. Still unsure which model suits you? Talk to our specialists.
