Cheap Night Vision

[Driller]

Looking for a cheap but still good quality night vision scope. I have seen some first gen scopes for about $600.00. I usually get up close to my hogs at about 30 yards.

30 yards is close enough to use gen1.

6 bills is more than you need, try here ATN Aries MK 350 Guardian Night Vision Rifle Scope 14351 FREE S&H NVWSM35010. ATN Night Vision, ATN Riflescopes.
I have one and its pretty good for gen1.

I had an ATN350 and it was good for how cheap it was. The "long range" illuminator was good for about 50yards on a moonless night, but if the moon was out you didn't really need it at all. Optics weren't very clear, but it was usable. You get what you pay for...

Is a Move to GENII+ in the cards financially? I think you can find those in monocular (SP?) form for around 1 grand.

Apparently you can do 30 yards for about $50... You'll probably need a different illuminator of some kind, and you'll need some kind of sight that works with NV. Night Vision on the Cheap | The Firearm Blog

if it is just 30 yards, use a flashlight... dont waste your money on 'cheap night vision' gen 3 or better is the only way to go...

All cameras can capture infrared light. Most have IR filters as generally its undesirable to have that mixed in with visible light. What that is, is a camera with no IR filter and small display. Overpriced me thinks... Go find a small camcorder that has a night mode and strap that to your rifle. Same thing. You could probably even find one super cheap where the recording hardware is broken but the camera and display still works fine. You'll also need a pretty powerful infrared illuminator to see anything past 20yards or so.
