Yukon Advanced Optics, a world wide leader in the development and distribution of night vision and sporting optics, stay true to their one simple mission; to produce high quality optics at affordable prices. Their items are lightweight, compact, and quite durable. Extreme care is taken in the construction and design of each optic, and special attention is paid to the art and physics of optical science. This level of quality control ensures that each device is a joy to hold, use, and look through.
Yukon's Sentinel 3x60 Night Vision Riflescope combines efficient design, ergonomics, reliability, and user friendly operation with enhanced levels of functionality. The remarkable construction of this riflescope provides high grade (IPX4) water-resistance; it can be operated in extremely precipitous situations while functioning normally, and without causing damage. Additional inner-tube protection is engineered into the design of this fine optic, for durability and repeatability under the severe axial stresses experienced when used with the majority of popular high-caliber firearms.
Low, or no-light target acquisition with this Sentinel NVRS is made possible by a high-quality 1st generation intensifier tube rated at 30 lp/mm. First generation intensifiers offer the night vision enthusiast high resolution with notable levels of imaging performance at an attractive price point.
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.
