Armasight ORION 5x Night Vision Rifle Scope Gen 1

Thanks so much I'm very happy!

Received my package today, Tuesday! How fast! Thanks so much I'm very happy! Mounted it on my 17 hmr and it sighted in beautiful! But I'll be throwing it on my 30/06 soon to clean up some elusive vermin sambar deer on my property!

Outstanding unit for the money

Talked with Steve several times our a week and settled on the this scope. He was a great person to talk too. Supper fast shipping also. The scope works really good out to hundred yards with the IR light. I mounted my Green lazer onto gun and it even made it better at the 100 to 125 yards.

Armasight Orion 5X

My son and I bought two of your companies ORION 5x night vision rtifle scopes, GEN 1+. We at looked three of your competitors scopes and the Armasight came out the winner. The lighter weight and the more effient battery life were the big sellers for us, BUT the clarity and range are excellent and beat the other scopes hands down. We hunt Feral hogs and coyotes at night here in Texas. I live in an area that has many different terrain featues and the Orion hasn't let me down yet. Had an issue with a QRM, but your customer service is taking excellent care of me and my son. When we buy again we will buy ARMASIGHT for sure. Thank you for all your help. Walter H.

First Time Night Vision User Impressed

First off I want to thank NIGHT VISION GUYS they sent this thing as fast as the could when I ordered it. I used fedex and came thru with no issues. But to start off I was very skeptical after reading tons of forums bashing gen 1 products and how they were worthless. Well Ill tell you what I got this in today and waited til it got dark to test I can clearly see up to 150-200 with this . My purpose was only to kill some hogs that are disturbing my feeders and scaring my deer. 50 yard shot max. Wanted to solve that issue with night vision. Armasight Orion 5x is legit...might not be "military grade" but this sucka works. I think the main issue people might have is its big and bulky but I like that steady's the shot. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quality night vision scope for anything up to 308 cal. I using this on a AR platform. Shooting 223/5.56. Glad I stuck with my gut and got this over any of the others. Just read the instructions when you get it and it explains all you need to know.

Armasight Orion exceeds it's price tag. Tested in the real world.

I recently purchased an Armasight Orion 5X gen1+ scope for hog hunting in south central FL. I wanted a budget minded optic that wouldn't fail me and spoil my hunt. I did my research (quite a few hours over a couple days) after reading reviews and watching videos I was leaning towards the Orion. What really sealed the deal for me was when I called Armasight and spoke with Steve B. I had some real novice night vision questions, Steve not only answered my questions he made me night vision savvy, he spent at least 30 minutes fielding my questions and gave me incredible information. The scope is very clear built very ruggedly and is engineered and manufactured very well. Before attempting to sight in I manually adjusted the windage and elevation by maxing out the clicks to find "zero click". I did this by turning the elevation adjustment all the way up then all the way down and did the same for the windage adjustment(all the way left and then right) being sure to count the amount of clicks. Once I did that I then adjusted the windage and elevation so that both were in the middle of total number of clicks(zero click). After zero clicking I sighted in starting at 25 yards then ending at 50 yards. The Orion can see well beyond 50 yards and be effective, but where I hog hunt a head shot is required, which I don't attempt at night beyond 50 yards(I know my limits). The key to making this scope live to it's potential is to use two illuminators, I had the one that came with the optic and another from Armasight both the standard 810mw illuminators which illuminated the target and the sounding area(absolute must). The Orion is robust and does add noticeable weight to your platform in the order of 5+lbs, the Orion stands up to .308 bolt action recoil and holds zero.The magnification and narrow field of view(part of all night vision) coupled with it's weight do not lend this optic to a setup for stalking style hunts. But from a stand or fixed position this optic is tops. To say the Orion 5x is "good for a Gen1+" or it is "good for the money" is selling the optic short". Allow me to fully recommend this optic and Armasight in general to anyone looking for a great company and NV products.

Armasight right on target

Being a first time night vision product buyer I was skeptical about finding a low cost quality rifle scope. The Armasight Orion put all that skepticism to rest. This scope is quality made and functions perfectly and to my surprise performs better than expected. My next purchase will be a set of Armasight binoculars. Great products for the price.
