    night vision scope

    Okay guys, I need some advice.

    I'm looking for a night vision spotting scope so that LOML can watch the deer in our front yard. I don't want one of the ones that has the flashlight attached, but an ambient light scope.

    Anyone have any knowledge of these things? what I should look for, etc. I don't want to pay a mint, but I am willing to spend money.

      Go to amazon.com and type in 'Night Vision'. Looks like you can get something for about $150-200. Can also try ebay. You also might want to google for some forums discussing those - I know that night vision stuff has many categories, and can range in prices wildly.

      Personally, if I need to check something around house when it's dark, I grab my Sony digital camcorder. Its 'Super nightshot' mode is pretty much night vision.

          I am not an expert by any means. But I do own the Night Owl Generation 1 model. It serves the same purpose you want one for. It does fine and the quality seems okay. It does seem a bit fuzzy though. If I ever buy another one it will be a least a Generation 3 model. They have a much better picture IMHO.

              did more research and found that Night Owl seems to be a good brand so I bought this one.

              Hope it make LOML happy.

                      Speaking of sniping, did you guys hear about the Marine sniper who returned from Iraq and was being questioned by a reporter? The reporter asked the Marine if he "...felt anything..." when he shot people whith his sniper rifle. The Marine thought it over a while, then replyed: "Yeah, recoil."
