Hello every one. I am new here and this is my first post. I would like ask a question. If go ahead with getting a NightForce 8 32x56 with a illuminated reticle is that ok to use with the night vision scope mounted in front of it? I am going with a Mcmillian m40A5 7.62 Nato and do not know if the night vision will interfere with the reticle on my night stalks. Thank you.

The NF 8-32x56 is a great scope for benchrest shooting. Are you sure you need that much magnification for night hunting?

To answer the question, it should be fine. The Marines put night vision in front of their scopes and I don't think they have to re zero. You might want to take a practice shot just to be sure though.

Not meaning to hi-jack you thread but what would be a good night vision scope to start with.would be going with a viper pst
Same setup

Re: illuminated reticle & night vision
If you're using a night vision optic in front of your scope you won't need to turn on the scope's illumination. I find the reticle to be more crisp black than whatever color it turns with illumination.
If this had anything to do with your zero: as long as the night optic does not provide any additional magnification your zero will remain the same.

Sir I do not hunt per say but I do set up night shots to do like I would during the day. I have thought about a lower magnification don't know though

Re: illuminated reticle & night vision
I use a PVS-22 in front of my NSX Nightforce and SN-3 USO scopes, and reticle illumination is not required at all.
8 magnification is pretty high, there will certainly be times when you would like more like 4 to 6 power available.
