Night Vision Scope or Goggles for hunting

Hi all,

I am trying to decide on a night hunting setup and debating between a scope or goggles+laser sight. A scope gives me zoom and longer range accuracy but needs to be mounted and sighted in each time I swap guns. Also is more difficult to pan around. Goggles are easier to pan around with, gives me flexibility to use with any gun that has a laser sight, can be used for non hunting applications, but limited to 1x zoom (in my price range).

I’d appreciate any comments/opinions. I have a .22 Condor and some Crossman 22xx tuned pistols right now.
My budget is < $600 so considering the ATN MK 390 Scope or ATN Cougar Goggles.

Thanks,
-Richard

Yukon scope adapter comes with IR Flashlight.

You also need to use Yukon NVMT 1×24 or 2×24 with that adapter.

The Mk390 is going to be better than those goggles – Gen 1 unaided with 1x is not much to work with. Then again, the mk390 isnt that high a magnification either.

However – if you got a Gen 1 NVMT –

The optical riflescope adapter –

and the IR Flashlight –

Then you can get best of both worlds – high magnification through a scope and you can also use it as a monocular.
