Our good friend, David Heywood, has recently compared the WULF 4K and Pulsar C50 Night Vision Rifle Scope.

Just my brief initial input after obtaining a Pulsar C50 recently and being able to do a direct side-by-side comparison with a WULF 4K.
The C50 day mode colour display seems more lifelike and the detail is just as good as the 4K (when at its basic 3.5x), and it also has a lovely wide FOV compared to the WULF. However, it all changes when you start to Digi-mag up for Zeroing (in daylight @ 100yds in my case). As the C50 suffers a lot of noise and the target visibly shivers with the black edges to the target becoming very indistinct at 14x. The WULF is excellent in comparison even past the equivalent 14x of the C50. Although the C50 does benefit from PIP the WULF would not be left behind with its facility to quickly and easily mag up/down via the dial button. The C50 does benefit from the sunlight function for additional minutes of colour for last light shooting and does indeed produce a near daylight image, where even the top of range day optics would struggle.
In night mode the way the C50 deals with any excess IR is interesting and I am pleased to report that it does not suffer any foreground whiteout like the original Digex. It also seems to balance out the IR intensity, regardless of flood or spot mode and limited the illumination on the target, giving a very even spread and seemed to increase the effectiveness of flood mode to longer ranges/wider FOV.
On the whole, I would say the C50 is slightly better at night than the WULF 4K but there isn`t much in it and certainly not £300 worth of difference.
The WULF represents excellent value for money for those on a restricted budget, (compared to even the basic C50) with its included mounts, IR illuminator and batteries/charger.
