DNT Optics Hydra HS325 2-8x 25mm Night Vision Optic

The DNT Optics Hydra HS325 runs a 25mm objective with a 2 to 8 power magnification range. Starting at 2x keeps the field of view wide, which is what you want when you are still looking for something rather than looking at it. Wound up to 8x the same unit settles into an identification role, close enough to make a call without giving up a position to move.

The 25mm front lens is a compact size, keeping the housing shorter and lighter than a larger objective would allow. DNT classifies the Hydra as a night vision optic, and this build trades top end magnification for a wider view at the bottom, which suits shooters working closer ground.
