Guymudrat's Review of SightMark Photon RT 6-12x50 Digital Night Vision Rifle Scope

Appears to be good night vision scope for hunting. Although, I haven't hunted hogs with it yet. Menu is easy to use. Definitely would recommend that both battery packs are taken with you if you plan to hunt. I will be ordering rechargeable Battery packs because the scope will burn through even ni-cad batteries fairly quickly. The distance that you can see at night is approximately 100 yards with the IR set on 6. If you turn the IR up higher two things happen: (1) the image gets considerably grainier and (2) battery life is shortened. Also this is advertised as a day and night scope- -which it is. However, you still have to turn the unit on and use battery life during the day. Also for the AR-10 that I put this scope on for hog hunting, I had to use two piece 30mm scope mounts in order to set the scope back far enough on the rail to use at the first click of the adjustable stock. I still need to play with the IR light to make sure that it is centered in the center of the crosshairs. There is a small amount of adjustment both up and down and side to side for the IR light. Also there is an adjustment of the actual beam of the IR light from flood light to spotlight. These, adjustments, are nice features and will determine the distance that the image can be viewed and also the view of view. The one item that I am a little concerned about is the rubber flap that covers the port for an external battery pack. It keeps flopping open. This might allow moisture to enter the port and ruin the electronics. I just covered this rubber plug with some electrical tape and sealed the port; since I will not be using this feature. I just think that this could use some better engineering.
Pros:
  • good night vision scope for the money
Cons:
  • port for external power and battery life
Best Used for:
  • night hunting for larger game (Hogs and Coyotes)
Would Recommend: Yes
