![]() The eye relief is a little more than 2.5 inches and there is a long eyeshade that covers that distance between your eye and the eyepiece. With the magnification, you are getting it is safe to say that this is a close-range scope and shots above 150 yards will require a lot of eye squinting. Your field of view is 5.6 degrees which aren’t amazing but it isn’t bad either, considering that you won’t be firing at more than 100-200 yards with this thing attached to your rifle. In fact, some scopes with triple the price tag have similar resolutions, let that sink in. For a small display, this is a very respectable resolution. The objective has a 40mm diameter and the resolution of the display through which you will be viewing your target is 640×480. ![]() There is a fixed magnification in place here and it can only zoom in 3 times normal vision. Let’s continue with the magnification and how good this scope is to aim with. One model that does an exceedingly well job at that is the ATN Thor HD 384 Smart Thermal Rifle Scope. If you want to record your activities, you will have to look elsewhere because this particular model doesn’t come with streaming or recording capabilities. If we put hunting aside for a moment, this scope is a great choice for other activities such as night-time paintball, airsoft battles, or even crossbow archery. It is fairly durable, has enough magnification for an accurate 100-yard shot, and can mount on most modern rifles. It does what it is supposed to do, nothing more and nothing less. ![]() But what if I tell you that there is a very cheap model that is just good enough to do the job? The NightShot is exactly that. Most hunters are often trying to find the best price-to-value product out there. The first thing I am going to talk about is the budget factor, as it is the biggest point of interest in this scope. If you are looking for a premium night vision scope that has all the bells and whistles of the industry, I suggest checking out my full Buyer’s Guide by clicking here. For a price that low, there really aren’t any competitors to it and considering the features you are getting, I’d say it truly is a great budget night vision scope. It is super lightweight thanks to its thermoplastic body that can also withstand rain and dust. The scope has 6 reticle options and a lot of IR and brightness settings. To further improve your image quality, there is a myriad of adjustability options including the windage, elevation, and focus. ![]() You can expect it to go further than 150 yards if the conditions are ideal. In this Night Owl Optics NightShot Scope review, I am going to show you where it shines the most and where the budget element is felt the most.įeaturing a 3x magnification and a built-in IR illuminator, the “NightShot” manages to give you a good night vision picture for shots of up to 75 yards in pitch black conditions. That, of course, if you are willing to deal with some of the sacrifices that the company has made to bring the price down. What Night Owl Optics is showing here is that a decent night vision scope can cost as little as a regular day time optic. Most night vision scopes nowadays cost an arm (and sometimes even a leg) and completely ignore the fact that there are people out there that want to enjoy some night hunting on a budget.
