You actually used many different NV scopes? I'm currently using a Hikmicro Alpex on my dedicated night rifle and with 3.5-14x zoom it does the job for me. Longest shot on deer is 380m in vineyard situation, so easily known distances. However, I do know that I can see barbs on a barb-wire fence at 300m and gate catch staple at 463m clearly, the barbs can be seen on a moonlit night without IR light. The 4K version may be even better as may be the Arken Zulus. Until I break this one or use someone elses unit I won't know. As posted elsewhere, I have used NV since the eighties and Thermal gear since the mid nineties and aquired a bit of experience. I'm happy with the NV I've got but may upgrade one day, may even go back to thermal scope.
