Has anyone had any experience purchasing Temu and Amazon optics? I need a night-vision or thermal setup for coyote hunts here in NM. Would rather test the water without draining my bank account.

Get a dnt zulus. 399 without lrf, 599 with. I wouldnt trust a cheaper option, i dont like to burn money. Lol, there is an Nv400 on the classys for 400 with lrf, a little heavy but works great.

I'd not recommend the cheapo night vision, whether it be Temu, Ali Baba or Ebay.
Go with a Zulus or a Oneleaf both are getting great reviews.
I chose Oneleaf but it was a tough decision. We will soon be paying more for most everything, the tariffs are coming and will hit us hard.

Oneleaf Commander NV400 is supposed to be good too without breaking the bank. Amazon has a safe return policy & good rep for it but I'd avoid Temu.

I love Temu for cheap..and that's about it. I expect little there. I'd rather give my bux to the folks who built it or a great vendor. Looking forward to buckling the NV500 on to a few of my guns. I've a hi tech bullpup .22 that is quite accurate, along with a number of others. The NV500 will get around initially. I suspect y'all may be seeing some video in the near future.

Sightmark Wraith HD buy a used 2-16 power..Bullet proof reliable and cheap...Better budget the Zulus 3-12 for $399.00 probably hard to beat..

399 is a great price. The NV500 W/O the rangefinder still comes in over 500 best I could find discount wise was 5% apparently they are selling a lot of them. Still a heck of a device for the $$$.

Thanks for the info guys! Will see what Christmas brings. If it happens to be a Temu or Amazon gift, I'll throw a video up on it. I like the Zulus 3-12. I'm only shooting a Beeman 1358 pup but I'm impressed the way it hits. Came with a junk Scope and I really only have time to shoot in the dusk to dark realm.

I did get a very decent red dot from Temu. I was surprised at the quality as cheap red dots usually do not work for me thanks to a little astigmatism. The 2 MOA I got off Temu not quite as sharp as my Romeo 5 but close, and 1/3 rd the price. Don't buy a red dot without the shake awake feature, 100% useless with dead batteries.

The Beeman 1358 is a springer. Springers can be very rough on scopes. They have a "reverse recoil" pulse that is very hard on scopes. I do not know if the electronic scopes are rated or recommended for spring guns. The zulus is "kinda rated" for .50 BMG but their specs are not 100% on that. The One leaf is rated for up to .308 recoil. Neither scope mentions spring guns in their documentation. Hawke is the scope manufacturer that advertises springer friendly scopes. I don't know if Hawke offers NV at all.

Good deal a quick google indicated springer, no worries hardly a recoil impulse at all until big bore stuff.
