Turn Day Scope Into Night Vision

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.

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

Excellent night vision, Accusense works to reduce false alarms. Turn on HDR to Auto for an excellent picture day and night.

It does affect my night vision when I use it, but because its two red LEDs turn on at MINIMUM BRIGHTNESS it does not affect it much. Power and brightness are controlled by a small thumbwheel, like the volume control on a portable radio. I have another red light but it starts out way too bright. I never use it because of this. It comes with a 9V battery and seems to have good battery life. It is not water or weather resistant. The lanyard is quite good: simple and functional. I can put it around my neck with plenty of slack.

Love the red light mode just wish you didn’t have to turn on bright white light first to get to the night vision light.

Great night vision.

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
