Scope is very well made for the hunter. Could serve as a LEO sight as well. I used it in Texas for a predator hunt and have posted a video on Youtube here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC3qTCxbr8M Youtube really screws up the quality of the recording, but it was very clear when I was using it. To make the scope last all night, I used an external 12v battery pack. 3.5 Ah battery lasted 3 full nights of hunting. Cons are the batteries are hard to remove if mounted on the gun. Sometimes there is a flicker of bright to dark while watching through it and sometimes you have to turn it off and back on to fix it. Also I wish the focus had a bit more adjustment to the longer ranges. the scope can do it, but it gets a bit blurry past 300 yards. The record out feature is great. If there is light to see by, it is every bit as good as a Gen2 scope. But if there isn't it gets pretty grainy. Overall, even with the cons, you can't beat this scope for the price vs optics at night. I would easily recommend this to anyone that can't afford Gen3 gear but wants a good NV scope.
