was trying to avoid buying a $500 scope for my $100 airgun and that didn't work. This is actually a monocle centered between your eyes and displayed on a screen. So you can't shoulder your airgun and then point the camera lens at your locations because your neck would need to be much longer and more flexible than it is. It's possible to rest the gun's butt against your chin and line up the sides, but that comes with its own problems: 1) you don't have the stability to line up a shot, and 2) the IR lights on either side of the lens reflect the rear iron side and barrel so much that you cannot see the front bead. Maybe you could try putting it on a tripod and mounting a scope so that the lens is snug against the scope, blocking the glare from the IR...but that won't work very well for me since all my Targets are within 10 yards and don't stay still long enough for me to move that much. That being said, you can see pretty well in the dark up to the advertised 75 metres. I took off 1 star because the eye shield is very poorly shaped and puts a lot of weight on the bridge of the nose even when attached to the headband.
