Ok so I'm looking for the best sub $1000 nightvision binoculars so this limits me to digital or gen 1 don't worry I already know they will be crap compared to my gen3 PVS 14 I'm not expecting anything amazing just something that I can see a decent image with ir light at 50 to 100 yards.

Before you tell me to save longer for gen2 or 3 know that I already have that and am looking for the best option for people on a budget.

I use my Bushnell Equinox daily.(nightly) Best 200.00 you will ever spend in my opinion. Just get the 3x if possible, 4x and the 6x are too much magnification although they offer more options like, video/camera/weapon mount.
Buying another soon for my wife/ hunting buddies. Sails Marine has them for under $200. Built in IR allows you to see hundreds of yards, has 3 light settings and 2 power settings. Adjustable zoom from 1x to 3x. Scanning real fast will limit your clarity so need to scan slower but for the price I can't see how anything can beat them.

Thanks for the reply.
Do you have any idea how those compair to the atn digital binoculars? I looked through a set of those and the field of view was horrible but other then that it was decent with the ir and useless without it.

I have not looked through anything else, just what I have seen online.

I whole heartedly agree with that statement! I've just looked through one so was wondering how the image compared. There is no way I'm getting an atn.
lol good deal. Just being safe..I haven't looked through the bushnell so I can't say. I have used a X-sight and I still have my photon XT and the Photon XT was way better than the X-sight. They're so laggy.

I have an x-sight 2 on my air rifle and it's ok with a lot of ir light but has many glitches and has shut down on me at very bad times. The zoom is horrible but for an air rifle for the price it's not completely useless. But definitely not a quality product

For an air rifle I can see how it could work ok. You have to have some damn good IR lights to get it to run on the higher refresh rates so it doesn't look so laggy when you pan side to side.
