Zulus HD V2 Digital Day Night Vision Rifle Scope with Built-in Infrared for Hunting (No LRF)

Had an ATN X-sight 4K, night vision on my 300 Blackout, replaced it with the Zulus HD520, no comparison! The Zulus is half the size, half the weight, optics are clearer, and the IR works better. Straight out of the box, I tried the Zulus at sundown in light levels that would have had my 4K in grayscale, grainy picture, begging for IR, at 40 yards, and the Zulus was clear, full color, day mode at close to a hundred yards. Love the fact that the entire unit runs on one battery, one switch, when the scope is shut down the IR shuts down with it. More than once forgot to shut the IR off when I set the gun down, and next trip out battery was dead in my IR. The Zuus automatically shuts everything down, saving the battery as well as the scope battery. Battery change is relatively simple, although the 18650 flattop battery requires a light to determine correct orientation when changing it. Fantastic scope for the money!! Have been very much impressed with this purchase.

I started getting into Nighttime Hog-Hunting recently and needed something I could use to see in the dark. When thermals start around $1000 I knew I had to find an alternative. This night-vision scope was it. I am not a long range hunter, most of the plots I am hunting on are no more than 300 yards across. With this scope I had no issues seeing, in detail, across those fields in all light conditions. The IR illuminator light does everything I need it to do. The focus feature is nice, but honestly I have been able to see perfectly fine at distance with it on the widest setting. The illuminator light is invisible to both you and the animals you are pursuing which is excellent for camouflage. It does seem to auto-shut off after 30 minutes though for some reason, but it is easy to turn back on. The hot-swappable batteries are amazing for this segment. Other devices have built in batteries. Batteries degrade, so being able to buy new cells in the future is huge. The included charger is sensitive to different power bricks. The one I found the most luck with was a Anker fast charge type C from Walmart. I believe it was 20 watts. The reticle works well. And the zeroing feature takes a little time to learn but is really cool. You can store something like 20 guns on it. So if you switch this between your guns (assuming you mount it in the exact same place) you won't have to re-zero it each time. My favorite part of this optic is the video recording feature. The resolution is great and works in both day and nighttime. You can also live stream the footage to your phone through the app. The first hog we got with this, I had the live video on my phone and helped call the shot for my friend. Super cool. The zoom is digital, but even at 20x it has enough detail to discern stuff. The starting zoom being 5x is a little awkward when hunting within 100 yards, so if that is your most likely use case, I would get the 3-12x instead of the 5-20x. In the future, I may pick up another DNT optic with their built in rangefinder, the YouTube videos look really cool. But for the money, this thing has unbeatable value.

Very impressive! And totally worth the price. This is my first scope of this type. I tried a cheaper alternative and sent it back almost immediately. This is a quality build and the night vision is clear and bright. I haven’t sighted in yet but I expect to have no issues. Update: Zeroed the site. Super easy. I’m sure it could be done in one shot with the right equipment. I would think you’d want check with a second shot. Now it hammers hammering tacks.

Just received this the other day. Mounted, bore sighted at night. Very nice! Firing rounds today in daylight and it was perfect except for I was on target for two shots and the scope went white after the second then turned off. I had to manually turn it back on. Seemed to be working fine again even while I finished the magazine. It is very clear at night. Once you get used to the adjustments, they are easily made. Mounting is very precise. I wear glasses and this works. The only concern I have is when it turned itself off that one time. Batteries are fully charged. Nothing done to it other than sticking in a battery - and the battery cap is finger tight/not loose. Mentioning that because I am thinking a battery loss of connection during a shot. I might give the battery cap an extra squeeze.

Very impressed with the quality for the price. Once figuring out the button layout it is easy to operate. Really like being able to record what i am seeing and view from the phone or tablet. Batteries seem to last and with two in the pack I don't think it will fail during a shoot.

I have two Gen2+ clip on Infrared Night vision scopes that I install in front of my scopes on our AR15s for night hunting. They are all rigged up the same. They work good, but are very heavy and a pain to tote around in the dark. I purchased the DNT scope with cautious optimism after watching multiple YouTube video reviews and demonstrations. Wow! For a third of the price we paid 8 years ago, these things blow away what I have. I can use them day and night, take pictures, video and audio recordings. The difference in technology is tremendous. I have a buddy that has $5K thermal and it is no better than the thermal DNT I purchased. I am sure there are differences, but for hunting like we do, the difference is not perceivable. I purchased the basic night/day, the night/day with RFD and ballistic calculator and the thermal/day/night scope. All three for what I paid for one clip on 8 years ago. I am very pleased with the function and capability of the DNT optics. Around Christmas time I will be making another purchase. Set up is easy and they all come with a charger and two batteries...and a picatinny mount! I admit, I am not a night vision snob, but these things have really impressed me and my wife. We have been night hunting for over 10 years.
