    Some info on the scope. I've been using it for about a year now. I feel that this is the best nv scope for getting into nv. $500 or so to buy. It's big, and adds weight to whatever you put it on. I put it on my 9mm pcc for a bit. Like carring a cinder block. 9mn whites out the picture, flash. Factory subs were too loud. The scope moves the icon/crosshair around on the screen to zero instead of changing the view, so if your mount is off you could end up with the crosshair on the left/right side of the screen. Low or high. I shimed the scope tube to correct it, so its centered. Crosshair adjustment is very coarse. It shows the x and y numbers on the screen. Neg/pos x/y so changing it to another weapon/bullet is not hard after you zero.
    Looking past brush/trees closer to you is challenging due to the fact they "flare" when the ir boost/light is on. On the plus side it works day or night, some minor fiddling with the brightness required. Focusing is done on the forward ring/bell now that is a very fine adjustment for clarity and it is very clear. Switched from the standard 2 aa's it uses to quality rechargeable batts. Yes, you read that right it runs on 2 aa batts. Not some goofy battery pack from outer Mongolia. +/- 2 hours on aa's. Run time.
    Field of view is kinda small, so if hunting/calling it would be good to use a pair of nv binos until you see something approach.

    It's a grey scale view no color, but it's the same day or night. I have no idea how it would hold up on a large caliber rifle as I have not tried it on one.

    I like it, for a cost effective entry into night hunting its well worth it.

    I looked at the x-sight as well, software updates,firmware,gps,wi-fi, recorder, bulletdrop, too much shit. This one is one button press and shoot.
