Perfect condition. Never abused physically or abused by letting too much light into the lens. Barely a scratch on it. Awesome in an open area with stars or moon (backyard, field..etc) On cloudy nights, it is still good, but not the ebst, since there is less light from stars. However, in total, pitch black areas, the IR comes in handy. It is Generation 1, with main power, and secondary power supply-- (VERY BRIGHT IR illuminator) It has a huge 2.5in wide lens to allow more light intake. That lens focuses from about 10' to infinity. The eye piece also does hairline focusing to match up with the front lens to get as clear an image as possible.

CR123 included, about 60-80%power left
Has automatic power shutoff, in case too much light is taken through the lens by accident. Weighs roughly 1lb.

Takes 1x cr123. Expensive battery, but lasts a long time if used correctly, or not running the IR for minutes and minutes on end. I'm not sure about other NV, but with this, the main power will run for a few minutes without being on. Example: I push the main power button for a second until the unit is at full running mode, then i simply push it again (to turn the main power off) and it still works. When it gets dim again, simply repeat^^^. All NV probably does this, possibly because the phosphor screen or photo cathode is just fading out. Either way, using it like this will make the CR213 last much longer.


Looking for $170.00 shipped, ob.

A bit dusty on the sides, no scratches

To camera, the IR isn't that bright. To the NV, its a mini spotlight that is useful from 100+yds

I had bought a brand new bushnell gen 1 for $200 shipped a while ago but sent it back because it wasnt that great for the price... Mine did the exact thing yours did, i think thats just how gen 1 works but im no expert. i used mine in hopes of seeing the IR coming out of a green 50mW but ended up burning a dot into the screen(also why sent back)

Haha. Yeah that'll do it--shining it into the phosphor screen and burning it. NV is extremely sensitive to light, and the 50mw was probably 5x more powerful than looking into the sun, judging according to wavelength. like the Yeah I forgot to also say that its great to pick up lasers, and their brighten the beam. Granted its all green, but still. And if it is a powerful 808nm laser, you can see the beam i believe.


Anyone interested?

Nvmd about nighttime pics outside, i can't get a decent pic. And remember, the night indoor pics ^^^^suck. When looking through with naked eye, it is a lot clearer. I'm bringing the price down to $165.00 shipped. Either PM, or comment it interested.

I would imagine this would help those who like to snipe varmints off the back porch at night :gun:
IR reflecting off of eyes in the dark, they wouldn't even have time to be scared of light to run away.

No way can I afford this, nor do I need it. Just a free bump for a neat item that isn't available that often. Plus, might be cool to retro a high-power IR LED in there, or an IR laser defocused. I'm just sayin'!
