Hand held what? El cheapo monocular to play with shown below. Just recorded Portland's most notorious graffiti tagged last week. Sent NV video to city. Doubt they will do anything with it though but who knows. Could see him plain as day.Following....thinking about a hand held to start with. Always open for suggestions.
The short answer: night vision is useable to hunt with but not optimal. It's better suited for night shooting, navigating, minuteman/preparedness, larping etc. If you primarily want to hunt, then thermal is the absolute hands-down, no exception, way to go. It is a night and day difference between the two (no pun intended).Would night shooting or hunting make a difference in the choice? I guess hunting then but both could be applicable
Agree 100%Buy once Cry once. buy U.S. made and supported scope. don't buy those russian or chinese made scopes, when something fails in them, you will have issues getting it fixed. just my 2 cents wo
Okay I understand. Is thermal still clear enough to get around in the dark?The short answer: night vision is useable to hunt with but not optimal.

For the most part, yes as long as it's a good unit. But that also means $$$$Okay I understand. Is thermal still clear enough to get around in the dark?

My opinion is that everyone should start with a good Pvs14 on the helmet, when getting into NV. You need good safety, stealthy, for nighttime foot travel . Start on the head first, and get lined up with a good fitting bump helmet, and pvs-14 . then go after your Therm. scanner and a rifle mounted NV or Therm. after that.For the most part, yes as long as it's a good unit.

LOL... Nothing wrong with the NOX 18. Nvision with 640 BAE . I think both Nvision and Trijicon use a BAE core/processor, and it is a European based Corp. but Nvision assembles/markets in US with good customer service .I don't disagree with you about a pvs14, but I can't fit all the goodies into my budget so I'm looking into getting the Nox18 by N-Vision because I'm mainly trying to locate coyotes. The biggest perk for me is that it can also be used as a 1x rifle sight, similar to a red dot. And its American!
I have bought a couple pvs14's off them, but that was several years back . TNVC been around long time, have always had good Customer service . I would not say their advertised prices are best around, but they do Quality .
Never had an issue with them, bought...uh...quite a bit of stuff.
