Depends on the model FrankT
This year Pulsar reduced it's core line to 2 cores, The XQ core which is 384 and the XP core which is 640. These are both 17 micron cores as opposed to the 25 micron cores they had been using. The Apex line is only offered in XQ, the trail line is offered in both XQ and XP. Pulsar did keep 1 scope with the 25 micron core. It is called the Core RXQ. The purpose of this scope is to offer a budget option to compete with the lower cost options (This scope retails for $1900).
Pulsar had 2 models people refer to as Apex XD50's. They had the Apex XD50A which had a LCD screen and the Apex XD50 which had an amoled screen. The amoled screen is not as succeptable to low temp issues and is higher resolution. This year they decided to put amoled screens in all their products standard so no matter what you choose you will be getting the better screen type.
The more data the core presents to the processor, the better the image quality displayed in the eyepiece. So with same core in each scope, you must increase the objective size (There is a small portion due to focal zoom but we'll ignore that for now) to increase the amount of data presented to the processor. The Apex line had 3 models 38,50, and 75. These numbers referred to the objective size. Here's where it gets tricky, because Pulsar went to a 17 micron core, the core actually captures more data than it's 25 micron predecessor so the image quality is increased while holding the lens objective constant. This means the picture quality on the Apex XQ38 is more like the Apex XD50 and the Apex XQ50 is more like the XD75.
If anyone is a dealer please comment on the differences between the Apex line and the Trail line....The way I understand it, is that the trail line has all the bells and whistles but I am curious what those bells and whistles are that cost $500.
- Apex XQ38 (this is the direct replacement for the XD38A I have now. Has better sensor and better screen)
- Apex XQ38LRF (Same as above, with built in laser rangefinder)
- Apex XQ50
- Apex XQ50LRF
- Trail XQ30 (XQ models are 384 core
- Trail XQ38
- Trail XQ50
- Trail XP38 (XP models are 640 core)
It's all priorities, if you stopped drinking beer, and smoking for a week or two you could afford the top of the line!
Man does this help me immensely. Talked to the distributor again and he described it right I'm just really really stupid. That and I was driving listening on speakerphone hustling to the airport, but I'm also really stoOpIt.Here is the info I got on starting price point for each model....Would be nice to get this info to the vendors that frequent this site bc myself along with many others are planning on buying one of these and we as consumers are looking for the best deal.
$1900- Core RXQ
$2500 - Apex XQ38
$3000 - Apex XQ38LRF
$2800 - Apex XQ50
$3300 - Apex XQ50LRF
$2800 - Trail XQ30 (XQ models are 384 core)
$3300 - Trail XQ38
$3800 - Trail XQ50
$4500 - Trail XP38 (XP models are 640 core)
$5000 - Trail XP50
Trail models have internal recorder.
can you mark the ones w internal recorders by editing the list?? Thanks for your work, you should be a vendor!
Thank you for this information. I am looking forward to reading about all the field tests from forum members.Here is the info I got on starting price point for each model....Would be nice to get this info to the vendors that frequent this site bc myself along with many others are planning on buying one of these and we as consumers are looking for the best deal.

That apex xq 50 for $2800.. if I'm reading this right this is basically a 384 resolution 17 micron apex xd50s?
As in 3x zoom?Yes, and bc of the upgrade in technology with the 17 micron the Apex XQ50 would be like Apex XD75.
Truly?Yes, and bc of the upgrade in technology with the 17 micron the Apex XQ50 would be like Apex XD75.
Truly?
My understanding is that merely making the sensor chip smaller does not increase the resolution. With the same size lens & same number of pixels the resolution should not improve. Now if they put a larger lens on it ...
What r the features of the trail line? Internal recording, gps, wifi??I've used the Trail in person. It's bad to the bone. I have one on order for myself. I plan to use it on the rifle and use my Reap-IR as a spotter.
They say shipping mid to late next month.
