Talk about bang for your buck! - Armasight Vampire 3x CORE IIT Night Vision Rifle Scope

I have used $3,500 PVS 14 night vision before so I didn't put to much faith in a $800 unit. Let me tell you I was wrong, way wrong. On a cloudy night you can easily see 100 yards with the included IR light. The Video's you find online do not do this unit justice at all! With the CORE technology the image is crisp and clear. I was able to identify a skunk at 65 yards with no IR light used (full moon was out). With a full moon you will not need the IR light at all. I was able to see well out past 300 yards and spot the heard of pigs we were hunting. Used the unit on a AR chambered in 7.62x39 and held zero night after night. The only complaint I have is the unit is heavy. Shooting from a kneeling position, prone or resting against an object is recommended. The included IR light does a good job of reflecting light back from eyes to help locate targets. All in all, you can't go wrong with this entry level night vision.
