Welcome back to Guns America. In this video, Tanner takes a first look at the Armasight CO-LR clip-on night vision unit for GunsAmerica’s specialty publication Decoding Darkness. We walk through the key features including focus and gain controls, battery options and runtime, onboard safety systems, mounting options, and overall specs. This white phosphor unit is designed for long-range use, pairs well with precision optics like the Nightforce 2.5–20, and is rated for heavy recoil up to .50 caliber. We also cover weight, environmental rating, MSRP, and recommended optic magnification ranges.
We also touch on the importance of ambient light when using night vision and introduce the Armasight Watchman IR illuminator, showing why an IR light becomes critical on dark or overcast nights. This video is a true first impressions overview, with more long-range shooting and real-world testing to come.
