Hog Hunting in South Central Louisiana

Night Vision

Looking for some info on night vision scopes. Anybody has one, used one, looked through one? I am going to buy my first night vision set-up and have no clue what to expect. Does anybody demo these things? I don't want to spend all that money and not have the scope live up to its hype. Would like to know what to expect as far as usable range on each generation. I Like the idea of the digital ones like the pulsar 550 simply because of the video output, but how does it compare to others. Thanks for any help

vision

what you will be able to see with night vision will all be effected by available starlight and available moon light, it will work better on a clear night than it will on a cloudy night,

Thanks

Even with the IR illuminators? Most of them have built in illuminators. Wondering how well they work, and if the illuminators are visible or not. Thanks again

the new rig

things are starting to trickle in for my new set up. gotta get a better light, and all my paperwork together for the suppressor. Think I'm gonna wait on the night vision until I can see some in action. Can't justify spending the money and not knowing what I'm getting. Can't wait to put a hurtin on em. gimme mo, gimme mo.
