Let me start by saying there will be more to come on this thread, so be patient with me and ask questions as you like.
I just received my NOX 18 today and I’m excited to say the least. The primary intent for the optic is to reside on a helmet as a monocular for scanning. That said, I will be taking advantage of the double duty capability, and I will zero this on a couple of rifles to serve as an alternate option to my Pulsar Trail XP50 for myself or others I hunt with.
To start the process, I have some unboxing and configuration pictures.
The NOX comes in a nice weatherproof case with laminated instructions, a lens cloth, challenge coin, and other accessories

There are three different power configurations - CR123, 18650, or you can leverage battery pack through USB connection. Here is what the CR123 and the 18650 configurations look like. They provide a regular CR123 battery and a rechargeable 18650 with the NOX.

I spent 2 minutes looking through the optic and it looks fantastic. I'll work on getting some pictures through it over the next couple of days and continue to update this thread.
