You can get a yukon gen1 or armasight for around $500, but you will NEED to weapon mount it for any sort of effect.
The gain is terrible, it will be very dark and hard to use most of the time unless there's some good moon out.
It's still better than the naked eye in some situations, but you absolutely cannot use it to navigate around the field. It's too dark, it fishbowls, and you'll be adjusting focus for every 5ft of distance up to 50ft
You'll also tend to have your illuminator on quite often, which is a dead giveaway to anyone else with night vision. And due to the low spectrum limit of the tube, people will be able to see your IR illuminator have a faint red glow in the dark.
