Maybe, depends which model he has. I recommend the 4.6X to my customers. 6.5X gives up too much FOV for follow up shots on running targets. No matter which one you go with, external IR is a must to get the most from the scope. The Evola units off amazon work well but are cheaply built. Sightmark offers their own external now that is really nice but it's pricy at about $125 for kit with charger, weapon mount, etc...
I sell a much better DVR now too...
If anyone in BCS area wants to check one out in field conditions, I am more than happy to meet up.
