Product Reviews For: Night Optics M-845-2MS, Gen 2+MS 2.8x Night Vision Multipurpose Viewer

I could not afford a gen 3 scope like three of my buddies have but herd how good these M-845 night vision scopes were. One of my biggest concerns was the 2.8x magnification compared to the 4x on the scopes that my friends have. This turned out not to be a problem and may actually be an advantage. When I compared them side by side it was actually very hard to tell the difference and my field of view is wider than 2 of the Gen 3 scopes. The M-845 scope is lighter and a little faster with the red dot reticle so for running hogs it is great. As far as how far and well it sees in the dark compared to the Gen 3's, I can come surprisingly close to 2 of their scopes with not quite as much brightness and a little less range but for half the price I have almost the same capability as they do. The one Gen 3 model is quite a bit better, but it cost about $4500. Comparing cost to performance I would highly recommend this scope for hunting hogs or anything within 175 yards. It's a big step up in performance from most Gen 2 scopes due to it's military quality and can even keep up with many Gen 3's. Great scope.

This night vision scope is great for hog hunting. Got 5 hogs my first week! Easily mounted on my AR-15. Very bright with range to at least 150 yards or more. Very easy to use with a nice red dot for aiming that you can adjust brighter or dimmer depending on the night. It is a bit heavier than a regular scope but then again a regular scope can't see in the dark LOL. Looks and feels like military quality and I'm glad I spent a little more to get a good one.
