Hello... I hate to ping you again but I sent my last ally the compressors forgetting to add this.
I apologize as sometimes I can be long winded. Also, being new and green, I jump on any chance I can get to ask a few questions.
In this case, Day/Night scopes, especially with recording options are super super cool. I just wonder how much advantage you get versus just lighting up the target zone?
I really struggle with the price points on scopes. For my Avenger Bullpup I went with the CVLife 2-10x32 MPVO AO Rifle. It's 9" long which I wanted to trim. AO is a must. It's illuminated. Price: $100.
It came with a single piece cantilever mount which was perfect on my Avenger Bullpup 2. One thing,. It is a 1/2 MOA not the typical 1/4. Otherwise it's crisp and clean. It's held zero spot on so far, maybe 200 shots?
I just can't get a clean answer why spend big money on the scope. I know we need good or even great but the $1500 super top tier, why?
From my recent self education and research, it seems the price point of $200-$300 gets the very most bang for buck. After that, big dollar steps for very small sometimes not noticable features.
Getting the etched reticle, high quality glass, high end components, side parallax adjustment, repeatable/nice click turrets.
This didn't touch on the rings, even more puzzling than the optic itself.
Anyway, just my (probably naive) thoughts.
Thanks so much for listening I'm sure I'll get these pieces put together someday. For now, I absolutely love my setup.

The advantage is stealth. Depends where you live, lots of factors.
Maybe you don't live in an area where shining flash lights letting all your neighbors know what you are doing is a big deal, who knows, there are lots of advantages to night vision or companies wouldn't sell them ( same with moderators ), and for the price I recommended it has ability to record in HD. With other scopes it requires all kinds of accessories and mounting options for separate cameras later. Another rabbit hole that is eliminated. But with this it has all they need for a reasonable price, way cheaper then other night vison options and punches at least $1000 above its weight according to many reviewers with comparison footage.
Its all about being prepared for where you are now and in the future. If you just purchase what you need now you will spend more as things change in future. Everyone's situation and set up is different, I respect yours and it may work for you but that doesn't mean it is right for all others and their situations.
There is that kind of reasoning as well. Its all in the details. I am not sure you can call a $350 scope expensive, especially with night vision lol
I mean you could just go with the plastic scopes they give you with some air rifles, they are light weight, plastic and have glass or what looks like glass, they have some sorta knob on them that does something and cross hairs that you can see in the dark with a flashlight.
Everyone has their methods. I just shared my recommendations based I what OP said, hunting what looks like to be nocturnal pests and night vision. Those are things he asked about in his posts.
So I gave him options to think about. It was not a debate as to who thinks their smarter or my setup is better then yours and it just doesn't make sense to me. Rather it was a good recommendation for what the poster asked within his budget or at least I thought so. The poster didn't ask about a flashlight but I admit if you really want to get as cheap as possible you could shoot dried corn out of a DIY slingshot I guess and with a flashlight.
There are people who can not justify a millionaire riding around in a old beat up pickup truck. The OP asked for options and thoughts. I gave him my mine on options in detail within his budget based on what he asked. Just my two cents. If you want a more expensive air gun the option to by it used is there. But there are plenty of air guns that are capable for $300 and under. Do research and ask questions. The OP appears to be doing that. That's a very good start. You could be normal or you could be the guy on video who recommends to buy American while his wife pulls in the driveway behind him with a Volkswagen. Who knows! lol Not everyone is into the Blair witch project with a flashlight hunting experience. Just my sense of humor. No offenses taken and hopefully your not offended. I liked your recommendation post response by the way.
but I don't know if that's better or not.. more pelenium might be more power but it could also be less shots..
4” barrel on the left and 6”barrel on the right…I guess 2”really does matter…lol…with all these clips..I need a bigger plinking area now
