Bird Dog's Review of Armasight Vampire 3x CORE IIT Night Vision Rifle Scope

BEST BUY- I have signif experience with the best NV avaliable in the world (British aviation Cats Eyes- 70K light ampl- true starlight capable, no moon necessary). I have other civilian NV. This is darn close to gen III+. I did not find any advertised, online, or provided documentation re light amplification, but I would estimate these to be 20-25K. Due diligence was done and I was not disappointed. You will not need any better than this, but get the big lens (max intake). The image is very good due to the number of LPs. Do not buy more expensive units as your ROI will be minimal. Any better vision will require supplimental IR lighting (and exposure yourself to anyone else with NV). Get your best bang for buck by getting these and if you need any better (or want to remain concealed)- go Thermal. Even though there is signif battery life- save it by turning it on briefly, then off. The capacitor charge lasts up to about two minutes before fading. You can scan field of fire during that time. Be sure to turn it back on again before you intend to engage a target.
NOTE- a fair number of people don't seem to realize that you must have some ambient light for NV to work. NV is worthless under cloud cover (Pacific NW, storms), under tree canopy, etc. If you use IR in these circumstances, you are compromised (even to boars/coyotes). If this matters to you tactically, or your hunt, I would just pungle up for thermal.
