have you ever harvested a pig....at night......its a pain in the ass...lots of bugs biting critters etc etc.
i have done a gen 2 weapons scope....w/kills inside 100yd, but it was clumsy and heavy....

Deal with OpticsHQ or Tactical night vision. Both great companies with great customer service. I would say he at least needs a gen 2 + to not be dissappointed.

I like US Night Vision, http://www.usnightvision.com/
There used to be a guy named Lanny that was on their forum all the time. He worked with them somehow, but would get you good deal's on used NV scope's. A very nice scope you should look at is the USNV 441 in Gen 2+ or Gen 3. I bought a Gen 3 441 a few years ago from him. Mine has a laser IR light with it also, a new setup like mine was about $3500 at the time and I only paid around $1450 for everything. It was like new, has a very good tube in it, and a $250 laser IR light that can stay on the scope or be handheld like a small flashlight. You can shine the light down in the corner of a field 300 yards away, look through the scope, and everything is bright and clear. Nice setup.

We always try to tell folks save for a Gen 3 unit and you will not be disappointed with the brightness and clarity. Best price is not always a good thing with NV. With that said, a Gen 2 SHP (Super High Performance) is also a very good system in regards to resolution (almost equal to a Gen 3), but lacks the overall brightness. The D-740(4x) or 760(6x) with either tube work VERY well. Hope this helps.

+1 for Victor. I got one of his D-740 units a few years ago and the thing just flat out works. Have it mounted on a 6.8 AR15 and have no trouble hitting steel out to 400 yds. Victor is also a great guy to deal with.

Re: Need info on Nv scopes?
As a NV dealer I must agree with Victor. Put cheap tires on the wife's car.... Let the kids go to school hungry.//// But for GOD'S sake don't skimp on your nightvision gear. Save for Gen III. Actually for your use I would consider a PVS-14 behind an ACOG 4 or 6 power. Thats what I shoop on my AR15. It will do what you want and yet give you a LOT more versatility. You can use either of them as stand alone units, and the cost should be about the same or less than a top dedicated NV scope. And a PVS-14 is a NUST HAVE for every home. My 2 cents....Goldie

Not in mine,dmg. Everything was crystal clear. And the field of view is better than with an EO Tech or Aimpoint, + you get the built in magnifcation. Did ylace the Barrett? Goldie
