shopping for night vision scope

[Gillette]

hey guys,

i have a Tikka T3X CTR in 6.5 Creedmoor that i am looking for but a night vision scope for. right now i have a temporary scope on there (vortex crossfire II 6-24) which i am borrowing from my 308.

the purpose of this rifle is strictly bench shooting. i mostly shoot at 100m but do take it out to 200m and 300m on occasion.

one scope has caught my eye which is the sightron siii 6-24x50 FFP MOA-2. do any of you own this and what are your opinions on it?

what other scopes should i be considering as well and how to use a night vision scope? something with 20X or 24X magnification. FFP would be a nice bonus. budget is $1500.

PVS 30 night vision????

That $1500 price point is gonna severely limit your options for obtaining quality NODs.

These are halfway decent. I used it on a pig hunt in Texas and was able to take a pig at 60 - 70 yards on a moonless night. Not going to get you anywhere near the magnification you want but it's an effective nightvision scope for under $500.

Do you really need night vision for this?

ATN's digital scopes can be had for that money.  They can be used for recording during the day and night vision at night.   Worth looking into.

I have one of those lying on the kitchen counter.
Not yet worthy of mounting on a rifle.
The software needs much improvement.

I figured it would have some downsides.   But I imagine that the quality will get there.

I've got one mounted to a AR upper. I've taken several yotes with it. It can be a little clunky. Getting the special batteries has helped functionality. It's still heavy as all getout.
