Well, for me looking at what digital night scopes cost and what high-end scopes cost and only being able to budget for one scope for day and night shooting along with wanting decent magnification for precision shooting, my setup mentioned above gives me what I need within reach. Spending three grand on a night scope is just not going to happen...I just can't do it whether I had the money or not. There is no night pest worth spending that amount on. I'll add that the Titan scope was purchased used, but came to me like brand new, and has a lifetime no questions ask warranty. I am very impressed with both the scope and the light, so all is well with my choices and I can shoot and enjoy them with what I paid for them. It is part of keeping my toys within my budget without having to pay much more for them on credit, which is why I was able to afford them to begin with.
