Night Vision for use with Day Scope =)
I cant wait to test my new setup I have coming in the mail on Tuesday!
Ordered Yukon NVMT 2×24 and Yukon NVMT Night Adapter for optical riflescope.
They should work pretty well together on my Bushy Legend 5-5×40 scope.
I will post pictures and feedback as soon as I have a chance to use them next week =)

I made a fancier “bones Mod” but that one setup there would kick ass…switching between rifles and such..Where did you buy the mount from?
Looks good! How much length does that add to the eye relief? Do you have to break your zero (move scope in rings) to get proper eye relief, or is it fine? It was hard to tell by the angle of photo. Let us know what you think of the clarity? value for dollar? Happy Hunting.
OK. They came in yesterday.
Works pretty good. Had to turn down the magnification on my scope to focus.
Here is some pics
I have a dedicated NV scope and the setup with the Yukon is still better by far far as clarity.
Cool thing is that the Yukon NVMT adapter comes with Yukon IR flashlight ! the Price of that same flashlight is the SAME as Adapter and Flashlight.
Not very many companies carry the Yukon Adapter/flashlight setuup, but I was able to find it for $109 and Yukon NVMT 2×24 for $179. Both brand new and free shipping.
They should be here tomorrow!
I have the predecessor of that setup. There was a fellow long ago on the TOG named ‘Bones’ who made that setup and it actually worked very, very well… Yukon ended up making the adapter from his design. The trick to getting good results from that setup is you need a very good IR illuminator.

I never looked through that particular one, but don’t believe the hype that you see on their website for “viewing examples”. The clarity those examples show are Gen 3 or better. You will be able to use it for night hunting, but don’t expect to see too much detail and definition.
Let us know how it is when you fire it up!
Oh totally. Night vision with adapter will only be used for Night Hunting.
Its pretty cool setup. Cant wait for it to get here.
anyone else have this setup?

hey, just be careful, my costco night vision scope a buddy hooked me up with says not to fire it up in the daytime 8) 8) 8)
I think, and once again could be wrong, it’s no goodah to use the N/V in the day.
F-cks something up.

I would say Value for the Money is GREAT. for 109 and 179 you get the setup that is easily removable and you can use it on any of your other rifles/scopes.
You also get hand held night vision too if you need it.
I didnt have to move the scope or anything as it its not permanent install by any means, but it works pretty good for occasional night hunt =)
There is really no eye relieve so you almost have to touch it with your eyebrow to get a good picture.
But it WORKS and its very mobile.
I got Adapter (comes with IR light) from RedSoldier.com for $109 (free shipping)
Yukon NVMT 2×24 I got from DigitalFotoClub.com for $179 (free shipping)
Both got here very fast.
