    Anyone know anything about night vision optics and want to help a noob out?

    I was looking at Armasight CO-LR PVS-14 gen 3 clip-ons for a long bolt-action with a March FX High Master 5-42x56mm scope, but apparently they're only good up to 12x zoom. The effective range on the rifle is ~3.25km, I reached out to an optics dealer but I'm just not sure if what I'm hoping to find exists for non-military use... Ideally up to 1km and >12x magnification would be :chefs-kiss:

      I don't know anything about NVGs except that I can't afford them. I can not imagine how much a 12x NV scope would cost. Godspeed comrade! Make sure you post a pic of it if you find one. :fidel-salute:

      ask nocturnality on instagram they are extremely helpful and the go to resource for this sort of stuff. They will also probably be able to set you up with a fair deal

      Not particularly relevant to your request but

      (CW: hunting)

      I really, really, really want to get a thermal scope just to get a rise out of my fudd buddies who talk about how hard it is spotting and tracking deer.
