Richard Douglas writes for the Airsoft & Milsim News Blog to discuss about night vision and thermal scopes if there is a difference between these two systems... "Everytime I use night vision — whether wearing helmet-mounted goggles, using the best 6.5 Creedmoor scope with the aid of thermal, or engaging targets with a NV optic — I feel nearly invincible.

BB2K Airsoft reviews a replica of the scope used for the G28 rifle which we first reported here last year... "The H&K G28 from Umarex and VFC is a really nice Airsoft replica of the original Heckler & Koch G28. In the delivery you had thought of everything, only the right RedDot and the scope were missing. The red dot was not a problem. There are many replicas and even the original could be afforded to the emergency.

"The 5 Best $1000 Scopes is a video you have been asking for all year. Joel got it done here! Check out these great optics and let us know which one is your favorite in the comments below."
