Gen 1 vs. Gen 2
Anyone here experienced with both Gen 1&2 NV scopes? Is the cost difference worth the image quality improvement? I understand Gen 2 has greater resolution and will work in lower star light. Gen 1 works out to 75~100 yards witch covers most air gunning range. What size animal would you be able to recognize with Gen 1 with 4X magnification at 100 yards?

well mate i,ve had both in a very short time . i had a gen 1 unit in within two weeks i had a gen 2+d440 unit and the reason for this is i went out with my mate who had a d440 and the differance was day and night and i,m not just saying this .i realy couldn,t beleave the differnce in the two . with thr gen1 and a realy good laser u will c out to 75yds ish and thats the eye shine u will c not the full animal .so if u have the cash go for the gen2 it a safer unit to use as your not shooting at things u realy can,.t c and your if your guns capible off shooting that and more your not spooking the animal trying to get closer .for me i wouldn,t go back to a gen1 for out side shooting but i will get one for rat shooting and thats it

Great info, thanks. I definitely want a clear picture of the target.
75 yards, lasered and only eye shine is poor IMO. Gen 1 is advertised as recognizing a target at 75~100 yards. That must be large object based on your experience.
You would only use Gen 1 for rats. In your estimation what’s the maximum distance that a rat can be “recognized” using a Gen 1 vs. 2. And is that with or with out IR illumination?
Also which D440 do you have ST, MS or HP. And do you know its resolution?
