This is my first night vision scope. I was a little skeptical at first but decided on the purchase anyway. I have a hog problem on my ranch and needed to thin them out. Sighting in was pretty easy. I used a laser bore sight first and it got me close.

After some adjusting the focus and sighting I went off to my stand. I heard noises and would turn it on and look. Spotted a couple small pigs but didn't shoot. Later (1hr), four large sows showed up. I turned the scope on and had no problems putting the cross hairs on her shoulder. One shot one kill.

I am pretty impressed with how well I see without the IR illuminator turned on. I have not adjusted it yet even as the scope was able to light my targets well enough. I can easily see out to 100 yards in low light without the additional IR illuminator on.

It does add considerable weight to the rifle. I wouldn't want to walk around night carrying it.

Again this is my first night scope but I am pretty impressed with it and it didn't cost me $2000 or up for a decent night scope.
