I plan on going hog hunting with buddies with NV rifle scopes. So will this light negatively affect their night vision viewing?

You won't need it with night vision. And I don't think it would if you use the green led.

This light system would not needed if you are taking night vision also. I use the VRL 1 as a cost effective alternative to investing in night vision.

Not at all. It will light their eyes up like diamonds and they never notice it. Happy hunting.

Yes but if you focus the NVG's for close range it will not be clear if you look up and far away. I use mine Hog hunting and I do use them walking in and out of the stand. The only issue I have is if I try to look out past about 40 yards when they are focused at close range.

No this Scope is not. The optics are clear and gather a decent amount of light but you need something completely different if you want to see in the dark. The basic night vision capable device has an intensifier tube that gathers the ambient light in the atmosphere and amplifies it on a plate and you actually see the image on the plate. The wave length for green is the most prominent at night so that is why you see the images with a green hue.The more sophisticated and hence more expense devices can have very clear images but they cost many thousands of dollars. The Vortex reticle has crosshairs like a rifle scope with hash marks that utilized the MRAD (Military Ranging And Distant) premise to allow you to accurately determine a known object and its distance from your viewing location. I hope this helps.

btw...my tasco world class3-9x40mm loses clarity with sundown or lower light. I forgot to note this point in earlier comment. it's a damn good build and buy for the money (51.99) but, more demanding purposes will require a much better scope. p.s. this would not be my combat scope on an ar15 either.

It is not a night-vision sight. the NV does stand for Night Vision, but it means that those two settings are able to be used with NV, not solely as NV. In lay mens terms, the NV settings are really just extremely dim settings meant to be used with additional NV goggles or optics as opposed to the lower brightness settings meant to be used in normal light.

I have taken rabbits and skunks with this rifle. As long as you are not shooting from too far a distance, and your shot placement is good, you should have no problems taking down a ground hog. I shoot mine without the scope, as I was unable to get the scope to stay zeroed. You might also want to consider a .22 air rifle instead of a .177. Although you will not get the same fps, you will get better knock down power. Some of the newer .22 air rifles have a pretty respectable fps rating, if you are willing to spend a little more. I also recommend the Gamo Rocket pellets. I have experienced better accuracy and penetration with these pellets. Happy hunting! I have taken rabbits and skunks with this rifle.

Affirmative, I confirmed this by checking it out with a Bushnell Gen 01 NV Monocular. You can clearly see the Red Dot illuminated with andwithout the IR illuminator switched on. Take into account that this is through observation only. I have not tried to test the accuracy or determinePoint Of Impact in a night time scenario. I'm sure that a Gen 3 or Better N.O.D. would have better results than a Gen 01 tube device.

I really like the scope, but like several others that I have had, night vision is not equal to a daylight glass scope in magnification. If you need 4x then get the 5x. We are using them on crossbows and the 4x works just fine

No, I used my scope on a Moisin Nagant using the rear sight base for the new mount. I shoot from 200 to 500 meters. the scope works wonderfully.As you know; most extended eye relief scopes were low power. Also it was like looking looking through a tube. I don't feel that way with this scope. I don't think I'd a scout set up to hunt with Too weird...rp

No a regular scope is fine. I have a leupold 6-18x50 and the light lights up the reticle perfect. The package does not come with a white light only red and green. If you're going out at night use green, its awesome. If you want white just go to their website its 19.99

I don't think your asking if it has night vision capabilities but if you are the answer is no. That being said the scope isn't to great in low light. I use this scope as a low budget spotter for small bore match shooting which requires seeing .22 bullets impacts on pape (black paper target area) at 100 yards and have had trouble on early cloudy mornings seeing the holes. The lens sits way back inside the tude not allowing much light to be captured. On bright sunny afternoons I give the scope a 6 on a 1-10 scale due to not being able to get a perfectly clear image. For the price I'm not complaining in have been using the scope for over a year now so I must not be to unhappy with it. A good spotting scope cost $$. If you are looking for a night vision spotting scope then be ready I shell out some cash.

Greg, I sighted the scope in at 10 yd increments and it is holding true it is on a Barnett Jackal using Horton aluminum bolts with 100 grain mechanical broad heads. FYI the red/green illumination function failed on a hunting trip last week. The scope is one (1) year old. The customer service people are working with me on resolving the problem. I have 3 other UTG scopes over 2 years old and have had no problems with the R/G function. Two are on high high power air rifles.

It does pick up any light that is out there but at night, without any light source, it is hard to see. Not a big deal IMO since you you should not shoot at something if you cant see it....the main thing is that it actually works at 100 yards and is fairly accurate. I was surprised.

I would say no but not trying it with NV I can't be 100% sure. Take a eotech if you have the reticle on and you push NV mode the reticle can't be seen by a naked eye. Well this scope does not have that feature
2002811
No, It has really low brightness settings so you can use the sight in conjunction with nightvision optics.
1587181
No! because the scope has a chemical inside that will degrade if to much light hits it.

Dear Gnita B.,As your question ,The answer is sure .Don't worry ,The function night vision is great .Best regards,Rainbow
