Well really can't hunt here after dark anyway so have absolutely no use for night vision..unless I was hunting the most dangerous game. Things keep going the way they are and we all may need night vision

I have a first gen rifle scope and thied gen gogles. I can tell you that the gen 3 stuff is far better than the gen 1 stuff. I went from a gen 1 rifle scope to the gogles for improve nite vision and went with the gogles instead of the rifle scope for 2 reasons. 1 You have to hold your rifle up to look around and it getts pretty heave after a while. 2 If your looking at a person your also pointing your gun at them. I now use the gogles and a lazer on the rifle. If you go this way DO NOT get a green lazer, they are just to bright and look like a spot light instead of an aim point.

I've got a good friend who uses a gen III NV scope for coyotes after dark. Got a little trigger time with that one a few weeks ago, and target acquisition was impressive even at longer distances. If you're wanting to keep it cheap, there are a TON of NV scopes on Cabelas website. You should be able to track down something there.
