a friend of mine was at the shot show send me information about Yukon's digital ranger 5x42, digital night vision. Anyone know anything about this company or product? they claim that it is as good as gen II but fairly low cost. Any information, thoughts, or comments appreciated. Description and claimed specs: The Digital Ranger™ 5x42 is the next generation of night vision. The innovative approach that customers have come to expect from Yukon is evident in the Ranger’s revolutionary digital night vision capabilities; the Ranger has the highest magnification available, and the clearest image, that you just can’t get with traditional night vision. With the best edge-to-edge resolution on the market, the Ranger rivals the effectiveness of comparable Gen 2 and Gen 3 night vision devices at any range. The Stealth™ invisible IR illuminator ensures that the beam is invisible to watchful eyes at any range. What is most amazing about this device is that, unlike ordinary night vision, the Ranger can be used for daytime, as well as nighttime, operation without damaging the device. The Ranger is designed to be the most versatile unit available, with a durable, compact body and unique innovations including a direct video output for video recording or remote viewing.
