Fairly new to the NV and FLIR game so I am looking for any help on recommendations. The NV scope arena seems fairly wide open with scope speaking about GEN 1 tubes ranging from $400 to $7500. I see regular scopes with attachments, and then I am seeing FLIR hit the market at $2000-$8500. ANyone else have a reliable economic solution for a guy who wants to night hunt pigs and coyotes with his .223.......I don't have a ton to spend and would like to get a set up for under say $1000-$1500 if I can.

Thanks in advance to any and all who can help steer this newbie in the right direction.
