Yes, it has a way better image than I expected. Upgrading from the Apex line I feel I have a way more clear, more 3 dimensional looking view of the animal's surroundings. I am extremely impressed with all the new features in addition to how compact and lightweight it is. I don't wish for the xp at all because I have always preferred to engage targets at around 3x. The image at that magnification is very similar between the two. I can't imagine how sweet a 3x native 640 trail would look!
Jake are you pretty happy with your purchase? Do you wish you would have gone with the XP50?
I thought about going to the Trijicon 2.5x to get a little higher mag instead of the XP50. But at this point I don’t have any equipment and if I save money on the thermal I can grab a pvs 14 and a scanner much sooner and have all 3. If I go with the Trijicon it will be a year and a half down the road before I have all 3. The 1.6 native is the biggest thing holding me back from the XP50. My LONGEST shots will be 300, my avg shots will be 100 to 200 (coyote). I think I am going to have to rent some stuff to really find out.... but $200 a rental adds up if you want to try 3 units.... I guess it’s money well spent if you make the right choice afterwards.
