Yukon NVRS Tactical 2.5x50 Night Vision Rifle Scope, Weaver Mount

Clear and crisp images with good range, even without using the illuminator. You pay for the privilege and while I am no expert, I have tried a few different systems including ATN, Pulsar and Bushnell but this is the best Gen 1 or sub 1,000 dollar night vision device I have ever used. If anything I would consider this a Gen 1+ in that it is at the upper end of the resolution and sharpness for what this technology can detect at its given level. I absolutely own the night now and can pick off cans or (where legal as I travel a lot) pests after the sun goes down.

Not much. For the money it's an outstanding system and I feel thoroughly satisfied with its capabilities. One issue is that inside of 25-30 yards the focus is poor and inside of 20-25 everything is pretty out of focus, it won't focus any closer than that which is the opposite problem I've had with other night vision devices which past that distance the image quality degrades so it's still more pro than con. If I could only pick one I would rather see things a little farther like this system can. One regret is having waited to buy one. Like so many wonderful pieces of technology it is so practical and useful you will wonder how you ever made it without one. I should have bought mine sooner, if you're considering this, do it. Just don't use it in the daytime as the excess light can ruin the electronics.

FYI mine is installed on a tuned Hammerli 850 Airmagnum that delivers about 17.5-18 or so FPE but what I shoot at the ranges I use it doesn't know the difference, mostly household objects. I understand that the scope costs significantly more than the gun even with its tuning and mods but I honestly feel there is a minimum threshold as with all technologies where if the quality is less than a certain amount they are not worth it. For example I have a pair of supposedly pretty decent night vision binoculars that cost slightly less than this scope but past 30-40 yards the images are pretty out of focus and the truth is that an inexpensive, $150 pair of 7x50 binoculars is more useful in almost all situations except the very darkest forest. The extra money is worth it for this system and I would consider it the minimum that is truly practical and useable for hunting, self defense and property surveillance in the night vision category.

I can see them night creeping critters. Works super with my Airforce rifle. Really good quality from a former Iron Curtain country.

Improve the IR light.

Lets you whisper sweet nothings in the night critters' ears.
Like another reviewer said " OWN the night! "
The perfect and logical addition to an airforce Talon SS.
It's worth getting one.

Own the Night - you'll wonder how you went so long without one.

Mounted on a GAMO CO2 Extreme. Kills critters in the dark just fine.

Clear crisp detailed view. Only 2 AA battery. Easy on and off with weaver mounts.

Nothing

I purchased the add on doubler for extra magnification and it was worth it. The add on 3x IR was not really needed because the one it comes with is plenty enough. This made my 4 year old Condor feel like a new gun again.

I find the size, shape and heft of the scope to be pleasing on the eye once it's sitting on top of an air rifle. As I have 2 of these now, the first sitting on a Dragon Slayer 50 cal pcp and doing it's best to help me rid the country farms of wild dog and coyotes. What a blessing to have such affordable technology. This 2nd new Yukon will find it's place sitting on top of a Sheridan C9 BlueStreak in 20 cal and is for around the place in general as the 50 cal is a little extreme for shooting rats on rafters. :) (I've had to patch the holes)

Absolutely nothing

Save your money and get one if you have open outdoor areas for night vermin hunting. You'll be amazed at how it opens another total world for your air guns.

Try it, you'll like it!
