Review for ATN MK 350 Guardian Riflescope ( 14351 ) NVWSM35010

   I purchassed this unit for Deer and rabbit hunting in New Zealand. I realy like the build quality of the scope and it can realy take the punishment of bush hunting. I like the feature that allows you to turn off the red retical , Makes it easy to spot game. Sighting in is also a breese and i did mine in the evening with the front lens protector on . The unit could be a little lighter , but hey for the price you cant go wrong. I also covered up the small green led power on light as i did not want deer to see it. Thanks again

   Well constructed, clear images, easy to sight in. I did have concerns about A.T.N. though, as I emailed them to ask if it was ok to use rechargeable batteries in the scope as they are 3.7 volts, and it took two emails before I got a reply, and then I got two replies. The first one stated that rechargeable batteries were ok, and the second one stated that I should not use them as they will damage the scope. So I will err on the side of caution and only use the normal CR123A batteries. Great product but some confusion from the manufacturer.

  This scope is great. Easy to sight in, easy to use, accurate, and very clear even in complete darkness. I purchased it to keep the wild Hogs out of the yard at night. It took care of ten of them real easy. Very clear image once you set it up. This is a great scope for gen 1. Highly recommended.

Review for Bushnell 5x42 Stealth View Night Vision Digital Monocular Scope 260542

This thing is not what I was expecting. As you can see in the dark with it, the Field of view is so small and the magnification is too great for the short range that you can actually see through it. It also destroys whatever natural night vision you had before looking through this optic. It takes your eyes an easy 5 minutes to readjust to the night. I would not recommend this product to anyone for what it costs. Save your money for some real night vision.

   Its lightweight and eay to uses. As you look through one eye, it is very uncomfortable when you stop using it as one eye has been confused by the light within, while the other has not. The infra-red is a small circle within the square. If your desperate to see something in the complete darkness the infra red is fine, like a crook. But to wait on the offchance of see an animal is ridculous and uncomfortable. Buy standard night-time binoculars or wait till your rich!

   Excelent Product. I am very impressed what I got for the money I paid. Clear image for a 1st Gen type night vision. You can see at 600 feet and if the light conditions are not bad, the image is clear. The power botton should be a switch, sometimes you can turn it on by touching the push botton. Other than that its good. Super IR doesnt need to be on. same clear image without.

Reviews for Bushnell Night Vision 1x20 Gen 1 Goggle w/ Headgear 261020

    As an avid cave explorer, you have to keep light to a minimum to keep the animals as calm as possible. For 5 years I've used a handheld night vision product, but have now turned to the Bushnell for the headset. Surprisingly this model is very comfortable and isn't front heavy. The longest I've worn it for was four hours with little fatigue. The sights were clear and I could use my hands. To me, the quality justifies the price tag as well. I would recommend this to cave explorers all over, it does the job!

   Bushnell 1X20 Night Vision Gen 1 Goggle with Headgear 261020 - Bushnell's reputation for rugged compact design, quality manufacturing and superior performance is evident in every model of our newly designed line of Night Vision devices. Bushnell 1 x 20 Night Vision goggles Generation 1 w/ Head gear feature a built-in infrared illuminator for enhanced images in very low light for use when camping, exploring caves, patrolling warehouses or other locations where there is no ambient light to amplify

Night vision review for Night Detective 5x Magnification NightVision System with IR PRO

   Excellent resolution. Quick and easy to focus. Turns night into day. Powerful Infrared illuminator for viewing in total darkness.

   It is a lightweight and compact night vision device designed for outdoor observations in low light or in complete darkness with the aid of a built-in infrared illuminator. Unique construction offers both esthetically pleasing look as well as protection against rain, snow, and dust. Controls are positioned on the top section of the nightvision device by Night Detective allowing easy accessibility and operation using only one hand.

   Resolution is excellent for a first generation night vision technology. Quick and easy to focus by turning the objective/front lens. Infrared illuminator is very powerful and allows for viewing of very distant objects/subjects in total darkness. Value for money considering its 5 times magnification coupled with a powerful infrared illuminator. Similarly specification night vision device cost significantly more. Printing on the box says it uses two AA batteries. This is not true. This model requires a single CR123 3V Lithium battery.

Reviews for Pulsar Recon 5x50mm Digital Night Vision Scope 78021

   Pulsar 5x50mm Digisight Recon 550 Digital Night Vision Scope 78021 is a durable digital Night Vision scope from Pulsar featuring a built-in infrared illuminator. The Digisight Recon 550 is outfitted with a five-lens eyepiece to minimize distortion on the edges of the field of view and increase sharpness and contrast of the image. The soft rubber eyecup conceals the light emission from the Pulsar Night Vision tube, permitting the user of the digital night vision scope to remain in darkness. The built-in infrared light takes care of close-range illumination when natural lighting is not enough

   I would recommend this unit for anyone wanting true NV use. This is not a toy as are most Gen1 units. You would be hard pressed not to be impressed with this scope. This unit works and displays an excellent picture on my 42" big screen. Do recommend you use lithium batteries for best longevity and performance.

   This is a fine value for the features. There are other models with additional features but the user has to weigh the cost of those for what the usage will be. I am a sportsman and this model has all i need with fine optics and surprisingly good screen resolution.

Reviews for ATN NVM-14 Gen.3 Night Vision Monocular 13174

The device seems to be relatively well made. The clarity is good but not great. the head and weapons mount are both robust and easy to use. The depth of field is a weaker point of this unit. it requires some manual adjustment to move from near to far objects, ie. reading a map to focusing on objects at the far end of a clearing. It is capable of dealing with weapons fire from a 10.5 inch AR barrel with some flaring but never shutting the unit down. With a suppressor flare is a non issue. The biggest issue with this unit is the lack of mounts that will co-witness with most standard height optical sites. I've contacted a number of manufacturers of sites, of mounts including ATN but have found no solution.


The ATN NVM14 Gen 3 is a fantastic multipurpose monocular. It has a ton of accessories which gives it unparallel versatility. I like the way it performs, the tube I got was very clean and bright. I like how I can have it on my AR with a weapon mount, and use it as a goggle when I am walking around the woods at night stalking.
