Guys. For various reasons I would like to obtain night vision for my rifle.
There seems to be a couple of ways to approach this. One way is to purchase and wear night vision goggles, and employ some sort of low luminosity type red dot... close range only.
Another method is to obtain a night vision rifle scope. This is great for the actual aiming and firing.
Yet another seems to be to get a monocular or some arrangement to mount in tandem to your scope.
I would like to be able to observe terrain with goggles, but when it comes time to fire a shot, I would like to be able to see clearly what it is I am shooting at with moderate magnification.
Distances for observation are critical, but for shooting probably no greater than a couple of hundred yards.
BTW, this is for predator hunting.
I appreciate any good advice you can offer. I understand that 3d generation is preferrable, but what are the better brands or choices in 3d generation?
