And I mean budget, so I am probably looking at Gen 2. What is the best bang for the buck out there?
Night Vision Best Budget Clip-on?

Never looked through them but Delta on here might could help you out with an Armasight brand. I only have experience with Gen 3 stuff that costs between 7-10K.
A dedicated NV scope can get you by cheaper and with a better picture. All that depending on what your needs are. WHen I'm going out at night I prefer my dedicated scope over my clip on. But the clip on has its advantages too.
What do you plan on using it for?

What do you plan on using it for?
What ranges are you looking at shooting, and what day scopes are you using? I have sold quite a few Gen2 HD CO-X's here and haven't gotten any negative feedback yet. Also, where in MO are you? You could always check one out before you buy.
Currently I am using a Millet TRS day scope. I plan to upgrade when the new Burris XTR II's become more available. As far as range is concerned probably no more than 200-300 yards.
I have 23 acres on my place and I raise (read feed) horses and am looking for something for coyotes.
What does the HD CO-X run?
I live about 30 miles north of Springfield, but I have friends in NWA we go visit from time to time.
I gotcha, my grandmother lived in Willard before she died.
It sounds like the CO-X would fit the bill nicely. The gen 2 HD tube has really high resolution and a signal to noise ratio that rivals some of the older gen 3 units, but I would strongly recommend investing in a good illuminator with it. So, keep that in mind when considering the cost. The CO-X with a Gen2 HD tube costs $2,175. I can upgrade the illuminator that comes with it to the IR850W for $100. Other good options for illuminators are the Streamlight Supertac IR, UNV T20IR, Streamlight TLR-1 IR, Torch, and a plethora of other options. As with anything I sell, if you are not happy with it, I'll buy it back.
I don't want to take a sale away and it's not a clip on, but I've been using a pulsar DFA75 for awhile and it's been a real performer for the price. I have NV and thermal scoped rigs, but I wanted a detachable unit that was compact, in my budget and could use it with my day scope. The DFA met all of my requirements. I just couldn't afford the CO-X.
I've had mine for a couple months from Delta and it's very nice. Felt like I got the most bang for my buck! Delta is a good dude to deal with.
I had a DFA75 MK2 but I didn't find it to be the performer that shoots100 finds it. I ended up sending it back and am myself looking to fill that void with a "traditional" NV clip-on as in my experience digital just isn't "there" yet. I've been thinking about the CO-MR or possibly a PS22. I'm limited to Gen 2 units as my hobbies far out-price my small fixed income. Unfortunately I don't know of anywhere local where I can try out these units so my information comes from youtube and of course here...but some of that can get biased.
Never bought anything from delta4-3 but that kind of guarantee is great for the customer. VERY nice to see when dealing in higher cost gear. Well done my friend.I gotcha, my grandmother lived in Willard before she died.
