Is the a night scope like other Gen2 NVD's?

Only in the sense that it has illuminated reticles. But I wouldn't call it a true night scope.

Yes it does, certainly not as precise as my competition Weaver T series or Vortex, but a great value for the money. I keep it on my "truck" rifle for ventures into the north woods. Rugged, reliable and holds its zero well and an excellent value with a lifetime warranty to boot. A recommendation if you purchase one, the IR is great for low light don't, but don't use it turned up all the way as it will obliterate the cross hairs with the glow, a low setting is perfect for those early morning and late afternoon opportunities.

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.

Hi...I is difficult during full daylight, however I have a tool shed in my backyard that I can go into and zero it by shooting out into the yard. If you do it right at dusk the cross hairs are very visible through the peephole and that is what I have been doing. It is a great entry level night vision scope and really my only complaint is that it is quite heavy.

Illuminator is included but you really should try to find one to look at in the dark before you use it. It's useless without an illuminator and barely usable, only at close range with an illuminator. These Gen1 scopes really suck.

This is a gen 1 nv setup. It's the most basic kind and good for seeing at night. I haven't tried it w a sight. But I wouldn't use mine that way. It would probably work best with a laser dot not a scope.

No, not a night site. Does not in my opinion aid you in firing gun at night. I have mine on my maverick 88, with a barrel mounted Cree light for night time

It is not NV compatible. Great set up for my SW M&P15X.; I did see how the 2 dot system is not as defined as the single red dot until you view through scope. Just FYI. The non NV version simply saves a bunch of money.

No. The scope is really crummy and the atock feels cheap. The whole NP mechanism is good, but the trigger is reeaallly bad.

No, and not sure what kind of scope you're talking about but this thing is massive. A lot bigger than other fenix lights. It's a hand held search light.

I bought a Ghost Hunter and immediately returned it. If you've seen a digital NV there is no comparison to this sight. You may get one shot but tracking game for a follow up shot would be almost impossible. I would suggest you save your money until you can buy a 3rd generation model. Or better yet a heat sensing sight.

I have not used it for ay hunting yet, but plan too. I did zero the scope with a lazer bore sight at .308 cal. I did research this scope as well as many others before buying it. In my opinion it was and is the best NV scope for the money. Reason? Rugged, black, long battery life (AA) battery's and water resistant. I also bought a doublar to extend the range of the scope. In my opinion one of the best Gen. 1 scopes made.

Almost positive it is, granted it should say in the item description. You can also check the stock number on the Vortex site. I have the same scope on my bolt action and M14, awesome glass by the way, only drawback is I had to put a rubber stopper on top of the battery to keep the illumination from cutting out. Vortex will happily fix it (if there is a problem) but that solution worked fine for me, I made sure to abuse the hell out of it after and no issues!

Yes. I have it on that same shotgun. It works well, and is a good upgrade to the bead without spending a pile of $$. Keep in mind though that this is ONLY a fiber optic rod, and not a night sight- no tritium glow- it just picks up ambient light. That said, it is a good, functional sight.

There is a reticle like a normal scope. It just has the option to illuminate it in darker conditions

No. If you spent the money for eotech step up and purchase a higher quality nv.

NO It has no magnification or night vision capabilities but works great on AR's out to 300 yards. It has a red and green reticle and is easily adjustable. The red and green reticles over power the light coming thru the scope and make it hard to see targets after dusk. Battery life appears to be very long lasting as I have been using mine since 2009 and have not had to replace batteries as yet. My Vortex StrikeFire did come with an additional device to enable 2X but I have not used it. I would recommend the Vortex StrikeFire to anyone wanting a quick sight picture. I own 3 of them.
