I’m shopping around for a better night vision device. I had a rather inexpensive unit (Around $400.00) I used for coyotes last year (Yes, NV is legal for hunting use in Massachusetts but lights, visible or IR are not.) but I had two issues with it. In passive use the resolution was hardly bright enough to see. There was a small IR illuminator attached but the effective range was very limited.
I used it a couple of times and returned it.
I'm open as to price point.
Primary use, varmint (Coyote) hunting. Secondary use is as surveillance & SHTF defense. The recent horrendous home invasion in Connecticut had several reports of the criminals with NV gear in their possession so I’d prefer to have something capable of working without an attached IR illuminator.
Equipment requirements are;
Weaver rail mountable
Low or no magnification, not looking for more than a 100 yd effective range at most
Ability to work well without IR illumination.
Ability to work with separate IR illumination.
Your thoughts ?
