The Yukon NVMT Laser Rifle scope Kit permits you to quickly change your NVMT 3x42 night vision monocular into a high powered night vision rifle scope. Since the NVMT does not have a built-in aiming reticle, an optional laser sight can be attached to the front of the Yukon weapon mount to act as an aiming reticle for the device. With the laser pointer installed the rifle mount can be used independently during the day. The additional eye relief provided by the rifle scope eyepiece is necessary for use on firearms and some air rifles. The rifle mount is compatible with all Weaver type rails.
There are many different variables that affect the distance that one can see with a night vision device, among them the object's size, the level of details being sought from the object and the conditions of observation. Night vision devices detect much further under a full moon and clear skies than they will under a new moon and cloudy skies. Many different formulas are used to determine the statistic of maximum viewing range and the method of calculation varies by manufacturer. The important factors to consider when evaluating any night vision device are the intensifier tube's generation, s/n ratio, level of magnification, specified resolution, along with the clarity & light transmission efficiency of the optical system.
All night vision devices sold by B&H have mechanisms in place to protect the intensifier tube from a sudden burst of bright light, but this does not mean that bright light doesn't damage the device. No matter what, bright light in any form is not good for the longevity and performance of image intensifier tubes.
