Export of Night Vision Equipment or related accessories (such as manuals) is strictly regulated by the US Department of State in accordance with the guidelines of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). It is a major crime to ship or carry US manufactured night vision devices outside the borders of the United States, punishable by fines and prison sentences. Ignorance of these regulations will not hold up in court. By purchasing night vision equipment from TNVC, you attest that you will not attempt to export or carry this night vision equipment outside the borders of the United States. Also, it illegal to allow a non-US Citizen to look through US Gen3 Night Vision Devices, even on US soil. Again, this is a crime punishable by fines and prison sentences.
The NVS M644 4X RAPTOR is a GEN III OMNI IV MILSPEC weapon sight. The “little brother” of the M646, the 4X RAPTOR can identify a man-sized target at up to 1857 meters at 1/4 moon, and is capable of achieving extreme long range accuracy. The 4X RAPTOR incorporates the latest state-of-the-art GEN III Image Intensification Tube technology, making it one of the most accurate night vision weapon sight available.
The 4X RAPTOR is ideally suited for DMR and sniper applications. But, its size makes it usable on standard AR platforms and sniper rifles. It’s extremely rugged construction will easily stand up to the recoil of large calibers including .50BMG and .338 Lapua. The RAPTOR’s shock protected optics will easily handle sustained fire from automatic weapons.
The 4X RAPTOR is lighter and more easily maneuverable than the larger M646, making it ideal for dynamic operations. The 125mm Objective Lens collects an incredible amount of light, providing one of the sharpest images available in an image intensification scope. To protect the system, the RAPTOR series features an advanced Bright Source Protection that will automatically shut down the optic after 70 seconds exposure to bright light, saving the image intensifier tube from damage. The 4X RAPTOR uses a red/ duplex reticle with full windage and elevation adjustment. The shuttered eye guard keeps the back splash of green light from escaping (giving away the operator’s position), though it has been our experience that it places the unit too close to the shooter’s eye on larger caliber weapons. Removing the wedges in the shuttered eye guard fixes ths.
We have used a lot of different night vision devices and the RAPTOR series is one of the best we’ve found.
The 4X RAPTOR is the apex of image intensification night vision scopes. It’s resolution and clarity is unmatched and it is ideally suited for multiple roles in the field. Whether perched atop an M82A3 in a barren valley of Afghanistan or mounted on a tripod in the back of a van outside a crack house, the RAPTOR series is the best and most versatile extended range night vision scope available..
