I have one, purchased it to shoot critters around the pond with a .17 HMR and less than 150 yards. For that works great. Being acclimated to thermal and having used Gen 3 NV there is no comparison to higher end gear. So just set your expectations. There’s enough ambient light around the house that the IR is not required. But I have the 940. Daytime view is B/W but very functional. Mine holds zero well and is a tack driver with the .17.
