Night vision

[Sabotabby]

Has anyone had any experience (good or bad) with any night vision products? I'm looking for a scope for a rifle in Gen 2.

Thanks for any help!

I don't own one. Way too much money for my budget.

Take a look at a broad spectrum of sights. Find something in your budget and ask around the web. There are forums filled with real world and biased opinions.

Here's a fair starting point:

I've had experience with one. I forgot who sold it, but they were bumming a spot in Springfield's booth. They came out one night and just passed the thing around to everyone. $3000 scope that was so good you could tell what kind of underwear a woman was wearing from 50 feet. But I'm guessing a scope that costs more than the rifle you're mounting it on is a bit out of the question...

Thanks guys! I appreciate the help!

Wow! Expensive is an understatement! Ouch! I hope the government agrees to give us back some of our money soon. It'd make a nice downpayment.

Very interesting, but not a viable device as is for mounting on a weapon as a sight. But it will make for some very interesting video assist tactics in a squad situation.

From their website FAQ...

Quote:

Can SuperVision be helmet or weapon-mounted?

No. The first model is designed as a handheld monocular. The eye relief at 25mm is far too short for weapon mounting and the unit is too big for comfortable helmet mounting. SuperVision engineers are developing a low zoom magnification, lightweight, longer eye relief version for weapon mounting. A helmet version may be developed if there's sufficient demand.

With its digital technology, is it possible to download the images from SuperVision?

Yes of course, and that's another of the big benefits of digital night vision technology. SuperVision engineers are developing a follow-on model with a wi-fi or Bluetooth type of wireless transmitter that will send the images directly to a viewing screen, a laptop, a hard drive, any source you choose. This model will launch in 2008.

I'm pretty sure night vision scopes are illegal in CA. I'm not sure about other places.
