Night vision options

[68Charger]

Kazoo beat me to the ATN X-sight II recommendation, they come in 3-14x or 5-20x...
The zoom is digital, so you lose resolution as you zoom. They also work as a day scope, just not without power... they are an HD camera and a little screen, no glass straight through. They also go thru batteries quick.

There are other features, like they can capture video on an SD card... I'm planning to get one for hog hunting, but don't have one yet.

For instance... If I see something at 100 yards can I tell it's A.) A short haired German Shepard with a brindle coat or B.) a "dog". Hope that makes sens and sorry if that's a stupid question.

You're not going to see exact color at night for the under (IMO) $1K easy, let alone $2K I've looked through a few different NV & Digital optics, yet to see one show me the color of a target at night.

Better clarification of a target at night requires better lighting. The ATN comes with an average IR light, lower output but can still identify critters at night with little or no moon.
Most night shooters step it up IR wise with one of these or more powerful. Like anything gun or outdoor sports related. How well yo udo is based on how much you're willing to step up your game

I'm little league but this works well out to 200

People are running one of these if not more output for serious hog and other vermin night shoots.

With a 1/2- full moon i was and am able to identify game out to 150ish with no IR. That's also in city limits where ambient light bounce back helps.

They go through batteries due to people believing regular AA batteries with the STILL GOING sales pitch does exactly that, Keep Going.
The only place regular AA's go is in the shitcan after maybe 5 minutes of use.
Those ATN/ digital units suck the power out of regular batteries like an ex can your bank account. Only faster.

You want AA's to stay in use for 1-3 hours, go with the Kentli's

They hold the charge. Then you get one of these for backup, as power drains you can lose all info and may require a reboot when power gets low.
