Whats the best night vision scope for 1000.00?

I'm going to use the 4 pay plan at sportsmans guide, if you were shopping there which night vision scope would you get and why??? Thanks

None of them. Those models use gen 1 Russian tubes and aren't worth the powder it would take to blow them up.

Save up your money and go get a gen 3 PVS 14 if you want something that actually works. ARFCOM has an extensive forum on night vision under the Armory tab. I learned alot there before I plopped down money for mine.

I have to agree. Nothing prior to gen 3 is worth buying.

I have a ATN aries series nightvision scope and I love it. Only traded my 45 for it. list for a little more than $500.

What model?

[CESTILL345]

Doesn't have a model number on it. I guess I could take the serial number and look it up.

thanks, i bought some binoculars, thinking if one fails i still have mono. something to start with, the last NVG's i used were ANSV-5's LOL, had to wear a counter weight on the back of the helmet, alway thought if one of them fell off, the whiplash would break your neck. thanks

You can get some bright active night view devices a little cheaper but if possible I have to agree with the previous post and save my money for some good 2+ or 3rd generation devices.

The old PVS 4 gen 2 was and still is a pretty good passive night vision scope. Huge but solid and lotsa parts still floating around and I think with a little digging you can find them for less than $1000.00.
