    Price comparison: 5 of 5 scopes used · Details

    For each N-Vision scope, we average the prices of all scopes from other brands with the same sensor class, primary lens size and built-in rangefinder status. We calculate its percentage difference from that average, then average those percentages. Each qualifying N-Vision scope counts equally.

    A scope needs at least 2 competing scopes to count. They may come from the same other brand; each distinct scope contributes one price. Matching these specifications does not establish equal image quality or features.

    Prices are saved new-item or sale listings confirmed in stock, recorded within 30 days of 2026-10-20. 5 of 5 scopes have an eligible price. Missing prices are excluded. Availability can change.

    Brands can have different scopes in their comparisons, so these percentages are not a direct ranking of brand prices.

    A shared sensor class doesn’t establish the same image quality. Open a family for its exact scopes and feature differences.

    Sources & reading the comparison

    Configurations come from our saved product catalog. Sensor columns use actual horizontal pixel counts; a shared resolution does not establish equal image quality. Runtime bars share a 12-hour scale on this page. The lighter segment shows the range within a family; an asterisk means runtime is missing for some scopes. Runtime depends on operating conditions and is not a HuntGrade test result. Mixed battery or display configurations are identified at scope level. Prices show confirmed in-stock offers from our saved retailer data; scopes without one show “Check availability”. Stars compare specifications across the full catalog. Hog identification distances are calculated estimates. Switchable lens positions are recorded for AGM Clarion. Open a scope for its specifications and source links.

    The people

    Night vision and thermal, built in Needham.

    2003N-Vision Optics founded

    N-Vision Optics was founded in 2003. The company says its products are designed, engineered and assembled at its Needham, Massachusetts facilities.

    The hardware

    The HALO sensor platform.

    Our HALO records identify BAE Systems thermal cores. The lineup’s lens choices and rangefinder configurations remain important differences within that shared platform.

    A named sensor supplier helps establish provenance. It does not by itself measure the complete scope’s image or handling.

    After the sale

    Five years for thermal systems.

    N-Vision’s domestic policy covers HALO, ATLAS and NOX thermal systems for five years. Service starts with its RMA request form.
