Sure, I have a 1st gen. Russian night vision scope that I use all of the time. Works fine for shooting out to 200 meters depending on illumination. Drawback is that it is big and heavy. I am in the Army and use issued night vision all the time. I am issued a PVS-14. While it is not a night vision scope per say, it can be mounted behind our Aimpoint and EOTech sights for night time use. That is an awesome set up.

of course the PVS-14 is night vision. it may not be IR/thermal imaging, but it is
light amplication and included in that genre

Thinking of purchasing a 1 gen. ATN to do a little coyote hunting has anybody ever used this brand? If so I'd appreciate some input,that's alot of money to put into something you know nothing about.

on my AR. but you're correct, of course.
