Night Vision

It was my third night of hog hunting at the invitation of Armasight, and all our hunting lands were also home to cattle and deer.

Brand new from Sightmark is the “budget-friendly” Wraith Mini thermal riflescope. Packed full of features this optic is sure to please at the price point offered

Holosun came out swinging at SHOT Show 2023 with the release of a plethora of new optics. These range from pistol and rifle red dots to new thermal and night vision options.

The Ultralight Articulating Panoramic Night Vision Goggle (UAPNVG) “Chimera” is Nocturn Industries’ evolution from the traditional panoramic NVG systems by incorporating the first quad articulating mechanism.

New for this year, Nocturn Industries has started shipping out their Ultralight Adaptable Night Vision Monocular (UANVM), or what they call the “Tanto.” While severely undercutting the weight of a standard PVS-14, the Tanto also is designed for adaptability.

For those who use a rail-mounted front sight or a visible/IR laser attached to a rail, rigidity and return to zero play a huge factor in getting accurate shot placement downrange.

While some thermal is better than others, the type of device makes a difference as well.

InfiRay Outdoors has the first 1280×1024 commercial thermal. It’s four times as much resolution as has ever been available to the commercial market in a riflescope. 

Long story short, vision is complicated.
