Sniper Day/Night Vision Rifle Scope

Make no mistake. This scope is a big 56mm and a bit heavy but the payoff is a huge, bright view. I mostly hunt hog and coyote during twilight and night. I'd say this is probably not the scope you want if you can only hunt during the day but if you can legally hunt at night this scope is a significant improvement over a 40mm or even a 50mm scope. It's not gen 3 night vision but if there is some moon or sky glow it's quite effective.This illuminated reticle is understated and very effective at precise shooting or longer ranges. During the day with a light background you don't really notice that it's illuminated but against a dark target the glowing dot marks the center of your cross hairs. As the light fades the fiber optic automatically adjusts the dot's brightness so well that I don't understand why they made it adjustable. At night the dot gently glows bright enough to be clearly visible but not enough to hurt your night vision. I am still amazed that the illumination works so perfectly without adjustment, no on/off and no batteries.There is noticeable chromatic aberration around the perimeter but the image is sharp in the center and it is very noticeably brighter than my 40mm and 50mm Nikon Buckmasters and 50mm Redfield scopes.

Just received scope and have not mounted on rifle but the vision is super in the early morning dawn - like the flip open covers and sun shield that are included with scope. Will be using on Elk hunt later on after plenty of sight in practice for ranging.

Best Scope I have ever owned. The video quality is great, Night Vision is better than expected.

Great night vision.

I have had this scope for a little over two months now, and I am truly impressed. The scope is mounted on a Rem 700 in .30-06. Between my son and I we have already put 3 to 4 boxes through the rifle after mounting the scope, ranging from 150 grain to 180 grain, recoil has not affected my zero and eye relief has not been a problem. We were quickly ringing steel at 300 yards with no problem. What has really impressed me is the image quality at night. We set up with green lights intermediately placed 25 yards out to 175 yards, and are able to see out to nearly 200 yards on a pitch black night. The rifle has fallen three to four feet at least twice and has held zero without a problem. I am already looking for my next Vortex scope purchase.

The Fastfire 3 has converted my 20 ga. shotgun into a sniper rifle with pinpoint accuracy. Last night I shot a hog with a rifled slug from about 100 yds. away, lit only by a flashlight. Without the red dot of the Fastfire 3, it would have been a pure luck shot. Because of the clean, clear sight, I had no trouble dispatching the problem pig - my second since I got the Fastfire 3.

I got this free with the purchase of a travel scope. It is very useful for viewing at night when you want to make adjustments to the scope and not mess up your night vision. A red light is a must for visual asronomy at a dark sky sight. Highly recommended

This red light flashlight is bright and ideal for setting up your scope at night without destroying your night vision!

I have been using night vision devices for many years now so I decided to upgrade to a thermal device. Well I finally saved up and purchased the ATN ThOR 640 4x-40x and it has changed the way we hunt predators. The reliability and features on this scope are amazing from taking pictures and videos to the smart range finder, and being able to store different setups in the scope allowing it to be moved to different rifles. The best part of this scope is not on the scope itself, but with customer service. You have a customer for life.

The VCOG 1-8 is the best close quarters to mid range scope that I have ever used. It also works well with both night vision PVS22 and and PVS-14. I wish I had this scope for my deployments in Afghanistan as it is very fast for up close work and easily gets you out to 600 yards
