Night Vision Rifle Scopes
Night vision rifle scopes are sought after among hunters, military personnel and law-enforcement officers who have to perform sniper work after dark. This type of rifle scope has a reticle that can be illuminated. The reticle is the cross hair or dot system on the lens of the scope that allows the user to line up a target. Night vision reticles use adjustable lighting, so that each user can keep the level of light at a place that is comfortable for him.
Most night vision rifle scopes use red light because it shows up in the dark well, without creating a lot of glare. In most cases, the light is supplied by batteries and reflects off the back of the reticle. In more advanced weaponry, radioactive isotopes can provide light. Trijicon, which supplies rifle scopes to the military, uses a radioactive isotope made of tritium to light its products. With this type of night vision rifle accessory, the radioactive isotope experiences natural radioactive decay and must be replaced every eight to 12 years; in most cases, the manufacturer can replace the isotope.
