Need a nice affordable night visions scope?

[1911Shooter]

Like the title says, I need an affordable night vision scope to hunt coyotes with. It doesnt have to be top of the like but I would like to find something decent. If anyone as any suggestions please get ahold of me.

The scope will be going onto an AR rifle. So any suggestions would help.

Thanks for all your help guys.

im gonna jump on this thread too.

is it possible to take a rifle with a daytime scope that is already mounted and zeroed and simply put a night vision monocular in front of it? the forend as to not change eye relief?

if this would function, night vision can be had affordably, right?

I'm thinking no, from past experiences and tweeking with equipment.

Night Vision Goggles, Night Vision Binoculars, Night Vision Scopes and Monoculars | Nightvision4less - has some decent info. Give it a read.

I have a cheapie Gen1 and it would work for targeting 20-30 yards at most. You'll want to spend >$1200 for a Gen2+ I'm sure.

the scope bite of snipers who have tried to add a monocular would say no.

Look at the PVS-22

That's what its supposed to do, but I'm not sure how well it works or doesn't work.

i dont know about the op, but im looking to do this to a small caliber rifle.

Maybe check out Pulsar or Yukon. I honestly think you might be better off with saving your money and getting a Generation 2 night vision device when you have enough. Generation 1 deteriorates rapidly compared to Gen 2 or Gen 3, and image quality is just so much better

The PVS-22's work very well but they are pricey.

I had no problem going 10 for 10 on a 600 yard steel with the configuration pictured. It was dark enough that I couldn't make out the 100 yard targets with the naked eye.

Here's a link to one by ATN, which is regarded as "cheap" where NV is concerned...

That's actually pretty cheap, believe it or not. Check out some of the prices on some of the other websites that sell Gen 3 stuff

very cheap for gen 3

 

[radar44]

I'm old enough to remember when calculators cost over $100.00 . I should be able to get one about the time a gen 43 comes out.
