Armasight "night vision" - Armasight OPMOD GEN1RS 1.0 Limited Edition Gen 1 Night Vision Rifle Scope, 3X power w/ IR Illuminator

So I'm not sure if I got a faulty scope or what. With that being said I know this scope is a gen 1. By all means did not expect anything fancy. The scope itself you could hardly see anything unless it was right in front of you. It came with the IR ilium flashlight so I was like well this should help obviously because that's what it's designed to do. Brighten the area up. Although it did brighten the area up. It was to bright to the point where you could hardly make anything out. So I adjusted the brightness down and that helped. Even with that being said I could only see about 30yards out. For the money it was not worth it to me. I will be looking into other night vision options. I know armasight puts out a good product and I could have just got a bad one.
