Hi John
Traditionally, that price gets you a Gen 1 monocular, which is never going to offer more than minimal performance, but under good conditions, will usually allow you to detect large animals out to 100 yards. Stepping up to Gen 2 usually means $1000 plus. Nothing in-between in traditional NV
The big push, today, though is digital and a good digital is a far better value in terms of performance. That same $300 will get you a much better NV in a digital, such as the
Bushnell Stealthview or
Yukon Pantom, both of which are closer to Gen 2 than gen 1 and offer better optics and resolution than any Gen 1.
