Can anyone recommend a decent Night Vision scope under $1K and geared towards the M16?
Thanks,
Dave

Sound advice. The only thing I would add is that you should stick with military units. For as much as we are likely use them, surplus will have plenty of life left in the tube.
Hog hunts at night can yield a lot of meat to feed the family and others. There 'might' be a justification (if I can keep a straight face while saying this to the spousal unit).With night vision you get what you pay for. Cheaper is bigger and not as clear at a distance but how much night shooting are you going to do to justify spending thousands of dollars?
Thanks for the links and info. Will look into the APEX. Looks about right. I am assuming I can use these during daylight as well?

I agree for the most part. However its not clear to me that is the case with distance. After reading some of what was posted on the AR15 threads... some people were having issues seeing out to 100 yards with their Gen II. I can see pretty well with my Gen I at 100 yards. However I can't see crap under 20 yards. So I think some of has to do with the exact optic.
As I have stated, I hope to be able to provide a place at the AGC to do some night shooting. So one might very well be able to justify it.
What the spousal unit does not know wont hurt me.
i have the Sightmark Photon fixed 3.5 NV glass with the doubler kit and the 20IR on my 300 blk gun for hogs and coyots and for under $800 i cant be happier. i have used much more $$$ and wasnt impressed nor would i change my setup
