Gen 1 Night Vision
1st generation is currently the most popular type of night vision in the world. Utilizing the basic principles described in detail in our guide, a 1st generation unit will amplify the existing light several thousand times letting you clearly see in the dark. These units provide a bright and sharp image at a low cost, which is perfect, whether you are boating, observing wildlife, or providing security for your home. You may notice the following when you are looking through a 1st Gen. unit. A slight high-pitched whine when the unit is on. The image you see may be slightly blurry around the edges. This is known as Geometric Distortion. When you turn a 1st Gen. unit off it may glow green for some time. These are inherent characteristics of a 1st Gen. unit and are normal.

Question
What is the cheapest night vision scope that I can get to see 75 to 100 yds.? I know nothing about night vision and just want something cheap to take out a few predators out in my field which is right at 100 yards. Some parts of field is open and others is wooded. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Hi Mann. the best value is Armasight Vampire 3X (http://www.nightvisionguys.com/armasight-vampire-3x-core-iit-night-vision-rifle-scope). However, you will most likely be ok with an Orion 5X as well depending on the size of your targets.(http://www.nightvisionguys.com/armasight-orion-5x-night-vision-rifle-scope-gen-1).
Question
Will this mount in front of my scope on a colt m4 carbine?

Answer
Hi James. Armasight Orion 3X is a stand alone night vision riflescope. You would need to remove your day time scope and mount this one for night time hunting. If you are looking for a night vision clipon device, please, take a look at ATN PS28 or Armasight CO-MR.
