Questions on getting and using night vision scopes

@Bob Nelson 35Whelen

How does the HT 66 react to muzzle flash?
Is a noise or flash suppressor needed?
Do you know if these are sold in the US?

@Ridge Runner
Ive had no problems with muzzle fash when burning 58 gn of H4831 in a 25 cal.
If they aren't sold in the states it's easy enough for someone to get you one and send it to you.
Being a tight arse I bought mine from new Zealand and had it posted to me for 150 dollars cheaper than I could get it in Australia.
What got me interested was reading about a person using one to cull problem deer out to 300 yards with a 300 win mag. Figured if'n it was good enough for him it would do me just fine

Thanks @Bob Nelson 35Whelen for the information can you PM me the information on where you purchased your HT 66. I might need it if I can't find an HT 66 here in the states.

I Hunt extensively with thermal optics all year long. Any questions PM me. I have multiple setups and have used pretty much every major brand.

@Daisy nice setup. I’m using a very similar R8 with pulsar duo. Works great in daylight too.

I find my regular scopes just sitting in the safe. I use it all the time.

I am biased in that this is my occupation but the Wraith on the Digital NV side is a lot of bang for the buck and Pulsar for thermal is super intuitive and owns its price range.

I killed a ton of hogs with red lights, then even more with the Wraith, and now it is a absolute game changer with Pulsar Thermions and Pulsar monoculars or binoculars.
