Great for quiet night observation - Bushnell Equinox Z2 6x50mm Night Vision Monocular

Michael J Perrine's Review of Bushnell Equinox Z2 6x50mm Night Vision Monocular
I used several types of mid range cost NV sets to include head set goggles doing security on night shifts for various areas belonging to the US military and at a government contractor's property. Both had risks from wildlife including bear and poachers using high power rifles and using rifle mounted NV scopes. I was able to use this set especially by turning off the IR active and spotting the poachers using their IR active that led me to them like flashlights! These areas were most often mainly moonlight only, very remote and dark. I still keep this set by the bed to be able to scan outside the windows and walk my house in darkness. A small Photon 2 keychain light in actual Infra Red comes in very handy as well as a red LED Photon for changing batteries and handling the NV sets w/o being spotted nor losing your eyes' night vision! One night I was able to dodge a very large Momma black bear and her three cubs using this very scope to flatten next to my security vehicle and view from outside the door unnoticed. The four passed me within 20 yards! Simple care of avoiding bright light to your sensitive light gathering lenses is an easy practice to get into, especially with the red Photon attached to each set.
Pros:
The ability to turn from active to passive IR
Cons:
A large hard case padded inside would be nice
Best Used for:
With practice, owning the night you patrol
Would Recommend:
Yes

At 14 I had my first gunfights in woods where we weren't wanted by certain people. After 4 dogs shot and 1 of my dogs was stabbed, I started hunting the poachers and thieves. I drove them away and ended up on the survivalist path. I am a former Marine, Fast Attack Submariner, soldier-unit armourer and M60 machinegunner. I was FBI trained/certified as an L/E Academy Firearms Instructor & former government contractor. When I was first assigned to the FBI instructor class, I had a broken right ankle, which I hid and wrapped in my boot. The instructors identified my injury on the fourth day but allowed me to continue if I could pass, or return later. I finished the next weeks and passed. I developed defensive tactics based on a lifetime of studying and training in multiple martial arts and honed it working in 2 prisons/2 jails and u/c work. I have stopped 2 terrorist events, one domestically and one in W. Germany. A drunk driver caused my TBI disability/aneurism&constant migraines,sadly.
