Hunt with confidence even after the sun starts to set with the Yukon Varmint Hunter 2.5x50 night vision riflescope. Equipped with enhanced optics, a durable titanium body, and a sleek ergonomic shape, the Varmint Hunter stands out from the crowd in the riflescope category. The Varmint Hunter incorporates a long mount into its ergonomic housing, helping the scope accommodate a wide range of rifles--including bolt-action styles--while also keeping you comfortable. The scope's powerful 50mm lens and multicoated optics, meanwhile, deliver brighter, higher-resolution images, so you can clearly see your prey from a distance. The scope's most glaring feature, however, is its powerful Pulse infrared illuminator, which enhances image brightness and range in total darkness. The IR illuminator lets you track a deer or rabbit in the black of night, or get an early start on your hunting without waiting for the sun to rise.

The Varmint Hunter also includes a number of riflescope essentials, including precision windage and elevation adjustments; an adjustable lit red-on-green reticle; a remote control with "on/off" and "IR on/off" settings; a flip-up objective lens cover; and a standard Weaver rail mount system. Digital camera adaptable with the use of a digital camera accessory (sold separately), the Varmint Hunter comes with an on-rifle carrying case and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Scope with Many Pluses, July 31, 2011

After wasting months trying to get an ATN Night Scope to work, I recently purchased this scope. It has very clear optics and took an easy sighting that held after riding around in my truck gun rack (which the ATN would not do!). It is an all-in-one unit, not some pieced together item. Can be operated from one switch...no need to grope around in the dark like some others. Lastly, uses AA batteries that cost about $1 a piece instead of C123 batteries that run from 5 - 10 dollars!

This is a quality scope that I would recommend to anyone who hunts after dark..pigs, coyotes, etc. Almost forgot to say is accurate!

Since there are so many nightvision products to choose from this will make it easy...this one works great. However, you MUST read the instructions and for some that may take a few days. Nothing too complex, but it is a sensitive piece of equipment and isn't as easy to work straight out of the box as a standard scope...but it IS nightvision afterall.

First off - I am prior military - and a sharpshooter. I have requested the return labels from Amazon to send this back. Time and effort trying to make this work has wasted days of my life.

Focusing this thing at a hundred yards is POOR quality even in daylight mode.

Installing it on a Savage .223 to fix a coyote problem. The Savage Axis/Edge needed a Picatinny military style mounting rail. There is only one made for this gun from EGW #41800 that bought through Amazon via Optics Planet I believe. Finally got the scope mounted and the bolt action slides back touching the scope lightly - put in spacers to clear without rubbing. Bore sighted at sporting goods store with the Bushnell laser boresighter kit. Was boresighted at 25 yards and these guys have always got my guns on paper at 25 and a hundred. This was 2 feet high at 50. Shot half a dozen shells in a light drizzle - cool humid day. 55-60 Degrees? Now on paper at 50. Reticle is visible when scope goes black. Can't see anything but the reticle in daylight. Check batteries - but why is the reticle working if the scope is not? Not batteries. Half hour of shutting it off - cleaning lenses thinking fogged up or moisture? Pinhole in daylight cap isn't plugged or have a water drop in it. ??? Later in night conditions - turn on night vision and IR - still nothing!! Great .... warranty issue. Next morning turn it on and look through it like nothing ever happened. Looks fine. Talk to Yukon reps in TX - they deduct that the "water resistant" rating is too vague for this scope and that moisture must have gotten into the electronics of the scope and "kinda shorted it out" but the reticle electronics are in a different place on the scope. They tell me to take it out and see if it happens again. While they send me an e-mail the next day for the warranty process.

I take it out to try and fine tune at 100 yards and here is my biggest complaint - 2.5 magnification my fanny. At 100 yards - the target is bigger with the naked eye by 25% than in this scope. My Leupold 2-7 on the "2" is 2+ times bigger than this scope is. It is closer to a .75 power magnification. At 100 yards, the reticle covers an 8 inch target. That is 8 inches left-right and 8 inches up-down. Who can have a nail driver when cross-hairs cover the size of a basketball? I am an expert marksman and in a vise locked down can't hold a "group" of any pinpoint accuracy with this scope. If you turn the reticle brighter - you see two sets of reticles like double vision - Awesome..... pick one? Faint reticle still has a low visual quality at 100 yards when "focused" and covers my 8 and 10 inch "Shoot-N-C" targets. This .223 holds a 1/4 inch group vised with a 3-9 leupold. It holds a "barn door" sized group with this Yukon scope. No - daddy isn't happy with this piece of junk.

I get home and check my e-mail and have received the Yukon TX email. A return authorization # to have it looked at under warranty. Pay for shipping, print off labels and write up problems, insure package and include money order or check for $10 for the techs to "access" the scope - um...... NO. I am not paying for a new item to be looked at after I pay to ship it off with defective junk issues. Sending back to Amazon expecting a full refund. Way to many problems and lack of quality design.

An honest comparison is this - Take a beer bottle (green), grab a fat red felt tip marker and draw crosshairs on the bottom of the bottle, Duck Tape the bottle on your rifle so you can look through the top of the bottle at the bottom where your crosshairs are and don't forget to Duck Tape a mini-maglite under your barrel. Now get drunk until you keep struggling to focus your eyes. Turn on the flashlight and look through your new Yukon NVRS scope.

You will be more accurate and better off with a Leupold and a Zippo.
