It's not infrared and it's not night vision, but it is a way to extend "prime time" for better, more ethical shots.

On television, "prime time" refers to those hours when viewers are watching. In hunting, "prime time" refers to those minutes when whitetails are on the move. For both, visibility is critical. But unlike TV, hunting's "prime time" is limited by the sun ... and mistakes cannot be fixed in "post." To make the most of the short window when crepuscular animals are stirring and it's still legal shooting light, you need great optics. That's what the new-for-2024 Buck Commander BUK OPS Buknoculars are designed to do.

Due to the way that the human eye sees, as the light fades, so does your ability to see in color. What many hunters don't understand is that sharp color helps you evaluate your target much better than grayscale. Traditional optics often leave a graying silhouette in low-light conditions, leaving a hunter doubtful about their target. Buckmaster's BUK OPS Buknoculars boast an exclusive new technology called Primetime Color Vision. It's not thermal imaging, nor is it infrared: This cutting-edge tech boosts low-light conditions to maximize every second of legal shooting time. Hunters can quickly identify their target buck in vivid color when traditional optics only provide a graying silhouette.

The Buknoculars are feature-rich in other ways. With the 3" shielded viewing screen, micro HD storage for recording, manual focus lens, 1-5x zoom, large HD viewfinder and 4k high-resolution recording capabilities, the Buknoculars come complete with a premium neoprene protective skin in Veil Tac Black Camo. Available soon at an MSRP of $499.99; BukOps.com.
