On the Cheap

[oldiephrt]

Looking for a night vision device to use very limited basis. Predator/varmint control 75yds max. Saw an add suggesting a monocular behind a red dot. Feasible? Don't need video out or anything like that, just cheap. Open to ideas. Going on 11mm rail.

Define cheap

They're $660 on amazon now, but the ATN X Sight digital night vision sights (and other digital night vision sights) work well with ir flashlights, internal or external, to 75 or 100 yards. Even in total darkness. Might be able to find one for around 400 used or on ebay.

$499. I still have the predecessor to this one, Sightmark Photon XT. Working great even after night hunting hogs in Texas for 5 or 6 years.

^^^^ Thank you. A little more than I wanted to spend but maybe worth it not hobble something together.
@b6graham were you suggesting iron sights with night vision monocular behind ?

No, I think he was saying go be poor somewhere else.

Ha! Thank you for the interpretation.

You will need a good illuminator for them to work ok from what I have been gathering. It is a cheaper option.

Not being sarcastic. For limited use on a low budget get a flashlight.

I highly recommend the Sightmark Wraith, its everything you need to do right out of the box. I have one and love it for the money.

Night Vision - Sightmark Wraith

My question is has anyone had any first hand experience with the Sightmark Wraith? Don't get me wrong I would love to have something nicer but its hard to justify me spending that kind of money for something that will be used 2 or 3 times. I have a small peice of hunting property I need to...

Yeah basically

 

[oldiephrt]

Thank you for the non sarcasm. I have used a flashlight before stationary/slow targets. My hands no longer work well enough to hold a flashlight and gun. My limited experience with feral hogs is they spook easy. I was hoping to take a occasional hog with an PCP at night from a stand where POA does not allow firearm discharge. I am anticipating 4-5 times a yr. Thus, a large expenditure does not seem reasonable at this time on top of all the paraphernalia needed to run the PCP. Sightmark it is.

Last night's work, I played the wind and put a shot between the head and neck at just over 100yards.

 

[oldiephrt]

That's what I'm talking about. Cool!

Another NightVision victim.

 

[oldiephrt]

I hope you had help lifting that monster.

 

[skl1]

I hope you had help lifting that monster.

Yes, and I still ended up with double-hernia surgery...

Obviously it wasn't just lifting the pig, but that's what I'm going to tell my hunting partner.
