Buk Ops Cycloptic

It's not a binocular, it's not a riflescope, and it's definitely not an actual Cyclops. It's a technology that revolutionizes whitetail scouting and hunting called BUK OPS Primetime Color Vision. Created by Buck Commander, the Cycloptic Handheld Viewer is built for portability and convenience with its lightweight, weather-resistant, and easy-to-grip design. Designed to make it easier to find and identify game in low-light conditions, it also doubles as a 4K video recorder!

BUK OPS Primetime Color Vision doesn't use thermal imaging or infrared. Instead, it uses proprietary, patent-pending, light- and color-enhancing technology that allows hunters to see low-light details in vivid color. With Primetime’s full color and high-resolution view, hunters can easily spot and identify big game at dawn and dusk when the animals are most active.

The 4K video recorder feature lets you capture scouting and hunting memories like never before. You can easily review pre-season scouting footage and identify target bucks. Primetime technology eliminates the guesswork, allowing hunters to find that buck of a lifetime.

The Cycloptic has a 1.39" viewfinder and a 25mm objective lens. A 1-5x zoom and manual focus lens provide tack-sharp viewing and the ability to zoom in for even more detail. Spot the bucks that others miss, and make smarter decisions from scouting to the final day in the field. MSRP $449.99; BukOps.com
