Really been looking at one. Finally will be able to see a real world review.
Besides the larger objective is there much difference between the 3x and 5x. I was thinking for night hunting the 3x would be fine for 100 yard shots.

There is a facebook page with a lot of users...its a privet group but they let you in. I been reading and asking questions on there. Ill take more vid pics tonight...I looked at the ones I got last night and they are ok. Its like a camera so in the lower light I have to stay more still. I also can focus more.
Think of them like fixed power AR scopes. Its either a x3 or x5 and then they digital zoom so it gets more grainy. I went x3 becasue the hunt im going on is probably 100yard max. I read the x5 is better for longer range. On a pig sized target I bet I could shoot it out to 200 yards depending. Wide open yes...woods no. For the 100yard food plot types I bet this will be fun. Its not 100% perfect but its workable. The zoom sometimes isn't as smooth...and the screen flickers some times. There are some bugs but as a whole its great so far.
These were not too bad from last night. The street lights add enough ambient light to mess with it in night mode and be bright enough for day.
Small section of fence is 150 yards. What you see is a section of side fence taken out and a iron fence is along the back of the property. Then the wood fence behind it is 188. Tree is 200. There's a big up light on the tree.
Day mode. Could have used some focus.

Just wondering how one of the green or red illuminators would work for added distance

I dont know...I went with IR. I have a kill light 250 kit that I got today to replace the stock IR. It can switch out to red green or white LEDs but I only have IR.

Pretty good representation at night in this vid. There is some ambient light but I dont know if that would have change much. This is with the kill light 250 on and at a full focus. I could widen the beam to cover the whole sight picture. The kill light kit came with a dimmer pad too that is pretty cool. All in all im impressed so far at the price point with the expectations I had going in. It has froze 3 times so far but unscrew the battery cap and it resets. Also the screen seems to blink...not sure if thats norm or what. I will ask but for now I need to go sight it in and get ready.
Watch in 1080...again that area is over 100 yards.

For keeping those interested with these updates

Really enjoyed seeing this in action. I had zero care to get one. The more you post the more and more I want one. Curious to see how it does on the range.

Glad to update. I had been looking at them on and off but now that im going pig hunt at night I decided to jump on some sort of NV. The fact I could use it as a normal day scope and the vid/pic thing sealed the deal. It has one shot zero as well...you shoot...then you move the cross hair from where you aimed to where you hit and it makes the corrections. You can zoom and fine tune after but the vids looks like it gets pretty close. Range time should be this weekend...

Here is the kill light and dimmer pad. The kit comes with 2 batteries and a charger, dimmer, momentary, and on/of remote pads, light, and a adjustable mount.

I do this with all my scopes. Just have to have it pretty stable, if you bump it and the gun moves then its a guessing game.
I'm thinking of starting a budget AR build soon if this thing does well at the range. Don't want it on my good AR. This $500 scope is going to cost me $1k . I'll just tell my wife our son, who will be born in the next couple of weeks, will need it when he gets older . I mean I'll have to sight it in and make sure its shooting straight. Don't want to wait till the last minute when he's old enough to shoot, am I right?

Solid logic to me, id allow it
Ill be taking it in the field on the 9th for real world testing. I'll have my bolt 308 tho just in case it takes a dump...

Someone on the FB group said this might be to the setting for light sensitivity. I had it on low and he said it should do better on med. Makes sense becasue I have seen this flicker come and go...and I have been fooling with that setting.

Got heeeeeem. Her actually....110lbs. More pics and vids once I get home. Not enough service out here. Taken at 8pm with ease at 100 yards.

Just watched the vid...oh man it's good. Got till Sunday out here around croket texass. I can't get over the damage these pigs are doing. Never seen anything like it. The ground is all messed up...even killing and knocking over big pine trees.
Posted on 3/10/17 at 11:36 pm to NOLAGT
I hope you kill a bunch more. Can't wait to see the video.
Posted on 3/13/17 at 7:17 am to ChatRabbit77
Only wound up with one pig. They were not moving during the day I guess it was too hot and this was the only group I saw a night. Damn cold front pushing through the last night and I was not prepared clothes wise. I was also the only one with night vision… I'll be back. I'll make a new thread with the review of the site once I get some time to type it all up.
Once I looked through and saw them I kept my eyes on them in the finger on the trigger while I took the safety off and got positioned in the chair...then...pie yow
ENJOY in 1080p

Sig Kilo clocked in at 103 yards to the feeder so id say right at 100 yards. This week ill work on a new thread as a review of sorts. things I have come across and more vids/pics I took in the field. Also I could have had my IR on brighter for this vid...all I could think about was pigs and pull trigger tho

Is the muzzle flash as bad in person as it is in the video? Doesn't look like you would be able to get a follow up shot for several seconds.
