Had this for 5 years on an Ar-10 Platform . Worked fine. Decided to switch it to a bolt action.308 ( more recoil) and it shut off after every shot and now won't work at all. Says it is rated for a 375 H&H..(BS). Sent back to company and now the said it is un-repairable. They can send it over seas for 6 months but the cost would be the same as a new one. $1500.00 down the drain. Pulsar false advertises their capabilities of their units. BEWARE...

I have been hunting with this scope for three years now and really like it. For as much fun I've had hunting with friends, it has more than "paid for itself". A few observations from someone who had no prior experience with night vision. 1.) Bone stock this thing is pretty awesome. IDing deer, pigs, and other game really isn't difficult out to around 200 yards. You just have to pay very good attention to the animals silhouette and coloring. 2.) Adding a IR flashlight really steps up the game! I wish I would have realize that my first year. Adding an IR flashlight is the BEST mod you can do for this scope. 3.) As mentioned in some reviews, I did the Yukon lens modification to my scope. It is both amazing and horrible at the same time. It added major distance to the scope. I could see and ID deer and pigs much much further away. The picture became a slightly more grainy, but not enough to be a hinder. The biggest drawl backs of the Yukon mod are that I find it changes your POI, so if you sight the rifle in with it on and then remove it in the field you will no longer be on target. The second problem is that when using the lens you are SO zoomed it, if your target is within 100 yards its easy to lose it in the scope if it runs after your first shot.
If I was to do it all over again, I'd get this scope and a nice/powerful IR flashlight. I had no issue with this set up! (Coyotes and deer do notice the IR flashlight way more than the stock little IR on the scope.)
Pros:
- Price
- Weight
- easy to zero and to operate
Would recommend: Yes

amzing dnv extremely clear optic very accurate easy to use once you read the instructions and the optional video recorder is a must battery life with AA is short I would definitely upgrade to the external battery pack if you plan on doing a lot of scanning with this scope but that is Hardly a negative buy and enjoy
Pros:
- Very clear
- Easy to Zero and Operate
- Great value compared to other nv
Would recommend: Yes

I have only shot 22's with it but was impressed at what I could see at 300 yards once I got everything in focus, I also got the 20 hr battery pack and the chord is long enough to put it on your belt. It was better than I expected. Sighting in was the only thing I could say was difficult but it is a different system.

This scope has a great picture for both day and night. If you are deciding whether to go with the N550 or N750, go with this one. I own both and it is hands down better than the N550. The only con is battery life.

I have dabbled with night hunting using Gen I+ NV for the last few years. I had had pretty good luck using Yukon products, as long as I used a good illuminator. I decided I wanted to upgrade, but wasn't interested in Gen III PVS-14 or the like due to the cost. Even quality gen II runs over $2k, and tube life can be short... So I decided to try digital.
I am very impressed. Totally functional, even on a heavily overcast night with no moon. The laser illuminator on the unit is superb. I could see detail in objects at over 400 yards. Definitely a huge step up. in addition, because it can be used in the day, it was easy to sight in, and the one shot zero really worked.
If you are looking for a huge upgrade to your gen I, or looking for a great unit to start with, and are trying to stay under $2000, I say give it a shot.
Pros:
- compact
- Easy to zero
- relatively light
- day or night
Cons:
- Illuminator sucks down batteries
Would recommend: Yes

This is a great addition to any hunters bag of tricks! If your predator hunting or if your after wild hogs, this scope is great. Its on par with Gen 2+ units. As far as the IR goes...most of my shots are 50-75 yards and it works great. The display is clear and the unit is pretty easy to use. There are only a couple of draw backs that I could mention. The first is how the unit is sighted it. Its not "hard" but its nothing like the traditional method, it has one knobb on the side thats used for all movement of the crosshairs. I tried the one shot zero, but ended up shooting more anyway just to be sure. The other draw back is the batteries. Make sure you take along an extra set, they seem to go fast. Over all this is a great scope and I would buy it again in a second! Optics planet is great to deal with. Everything went very smooth.
Cons:
- Battery Life
- sight adjustment
Would recommend: Yes

This thing is well worth the money. The IR light that is attached is good but the streamlight IR light that I bought to accessorize it with is unreal. I was considering buying the doubler attachments for it from the guy in Portugal but after using the nv and streamlight together I figured out I'm not going to want to drag a hog back from the distance that is available to me now
Pros: Clarity, weight and size
Cons: No lens cleaner
Would recommend: Yes

I use a lot of different night vision equipment for feral hog control. I was attracted to this unit because of the day/night compatibility, and from what I had seen, it's capability at night. I must say, it is on par with gen 2 systems, as it is far better than any gen 1 system. However, it is not quite on par with gen 3+ systems (I own and use gen 3 with ITT pinnacle tubes). One thing that is note worthy is that the image quality itself is not as sharp as traditional night vision, particularly the 3+ systems. For example, I cannot read a license plate from 50 yards, whereas a 3+ you can very easily. That being said, this unit really shines in that you can take it out in broad daylight, sight it in, and then take it out at night and it performs equally well. Traditional night vision can be used during the day, but only with lens caps and other limiting setups. As the scene gets darker, the ccd camera starts putting out more and more noise, as one would expect. Like all night vision though, you have to have some ambient light. When that drops too low, even gen 3+ needs an active illuminator. The laser light on this unit is quite adequate, and works very well when ambient light is too low. The rail on the side of the light is nice, in that you could mount yet another illuminator for even more brightness, or an extended battery pack, or even a digital recording device that plugs into the outlet. All and all, for the price, a very good balance of performance, that wil...

Excellent scope with very good illumination using on-board Illuminator. Adding a secondary illuminator to the accessory rail greatly improves performance.
Pros: Relatively lightweight - good on-board illuminator
Would recommend: Yes
