Co-x gen 2+ hd - Armasight CO-X Gen 2+ Night Vision Clip-On System

After using it for a year I couldn´t be happier with it. I got the HD version and it´t impressive. I love looking through it, I can see everything with such a detail that I just enjoy using it, scanning the environment. With moon you can perfectly see hundreds of yards, and without it, with the great IR that comes with it, I´d say you can identify and shoot at your targets at around 200 yards. I haven´t missed a shot since I bought it. I use it with a Swarowski scope 2.5-15x56 (up to 6x you can still see very clear, up to 10x you can see good enough to shoot), and my Haenel Jaeger 308 rifle. You know, you cannot use it with bigger calibers, the 308 is the biggest recoil it can stand, but that´s good enough for me. I use it for foxes, hogs and deer mostly. As I said, I´m very happy with it, but it has a few cons too: it´s heavy (well built, which is a good thing, of course, but it adds weight to your rifle+scope), which makes it difficult to aim well without leaning on something (or I need to get stronger, maybe). The scope adaptor is just good, it loosens sometimes when you move your rifle and could make your clip-on fall, and if you tighten it too much it could break your scope (not an excellent piece of engineering). You can get dazed easily if you want to look against the moonlight (not directly to the moon, but to the ground, since it doesn´t need almost any light to run properly, any source of light will dazzle you, even a small town kilometers away, but I suppose this might happen to all great night vision devices). Another thing is that since it´s not a digital device, you don´t know how full the batteries are (even though they last a lot, more than 10 hours with one rechargable CR123 battery), so it can turn off at the worst moment (when you are about to shoot the biggest hog in your life, for example), so I usually change it very often. You can use it as a handheld monocular too. Go for the HD version.
