[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 1609177, member: 99039"] I have a Sightmark Photon 6x50, but mine uses the 940nm laser, the short time I have had it, it works great. I have mine on an AR-15 and have taken three hogs at 80 and 100yds all head/neck shots, the clarity is good, but it is not HD clear, it is heavy. If you get this one or any other digital NV scope, plan on purchasing a USB power source, using four AA batteries in the Photon series with setting on highest IR Illumination, your batteries will be dead within one hour. My hog hunt with the 10k USB battery power source never drained for over two hours of continuous IR on highest setting, it should last a minimum of 6hrs with the USB power source. I purchased one at Walmart for 25.00. If it was me, I would look around for the newest version on your list the Sightmark wraith, I believe that one is in HD and I think it has color as well and is a bit cheaper according to the website. The one I have is WiFi, can be viewed on a smartphone with an app, so if your kids or hunting buddy wants to see what you see, it also records at 7min intervals, has a lot of reticle options along with various colors to fit your need. I like mine, I enjoy observing wildlife at night, you will not be disappointed in one. [/QUOTE]
