Review of the Sigweis Night Vision Binoculars I have to start with another disclaimer, of sorts. I had never used a pair of night vision binoculars before receiving these Sigweis tubes.

Sometimes it’s nice to have options. Pinty combo scopes give shooters several options from which they can choose. The four models we’ll look at here each have a rifle scope, a reflex sight, and a laser sight on a Picatinny / Weaver mount. Each is inexpensive, costing around $100, so you probably know what I’m …

Note: I get commissions for purchases made through links in this post. How do you know when you’ve made a top notch product? When someone else tries to imitate you with “knock-offs” or “fakes” and attempts to pass them off as the real thing. Imitation, as they say, is the sincerest form of flattery. I’m …
