Armasight orion 4 review - Armasight Orion 4x Gen 1+ Night Vision Rifle Scope

I purchased this scope from Optics-planet a couple of weeks ago, It is very well constructed rubber armored solid aluminum body. I mounted it on my AR-15 in 6.8 SPC caliber and took it to the rifle range. It is easy to sight it in during daylight hours using the lens cap, as long as the sun is at your back. I sighted it in at 50 yards in 4 rounds. I then took it to my friends ranch for some night shooting and got around a 1/2 inch group at 50 yards. I was unable to try it at longer range because the shooting bench was full of wasps nests (four of them as big as both fists). It did really good at 50 yards from a prone firing position using a bi-pod. I am certain I could see hundreds of yards but my IR illuminator was not working. I think it may have been damaged while tightening the mounting ring, but Armasight is sending me a replacement. They have been really good from start to finish. I feel really confident that even if I have issues, they will be right there to help, and even will let you upgrade. I love that part.
Pros: Great Value & Customer Service
Cons: It is a bit heavy due to it's really good construction, Ir illuminator is on the fritz
