I'd like to find a, relatively, inexpensive one for my 10/22 -- trying to get the nutrias out of the creek before they kill any more shrubs/trees.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

Aglifter,
I have some bad news. It has been my experience with night vision that going with anything other than the Generation 3 is a waste of money. Unfortunately, Gen 3 is still expensive. With optics there is a saying, "Good optics are not cheap and Cheap optics are never good". A decent night vision riflescope is still going to cost you over 2K. I know that is not what you wanted to hear.
Others will have more information for you I hope.

I too have been looking at night vision scopes. (coyote problem) Haven't seen any 3rd generation for less than 3k. Dan

Our Department received a free pair of Russian night vision binoculars. They are listed as "Gen II".
They are WORTHLESS!!!!!!!!
I know that US Gen III is over $3000.00, BUT, it's worth it compared to throwing your money away. A good choice is an ITT ANPVS-14 paired up with an Aimpoint M3. Total cost................$4,000.00

Another option might be going with a white light and a red filter.Bet it would work and not spook the Nutrias.

PursuitSS, Thanks for the heads up on generation 2 , I won't waste my money. I will look into some sort of light mounted on the rail . I'm shooting a Bushmaster 223. Any suggestions would be helpful. Dan

I have the Surefire M500 carbine handguard light I'd be willing to part with fairly reasonable.

PusuitSS, I have been doing my homework. Is that M500 the A, AB, or B model. Dan

To be honest, I have NO idea its been so long since I purchased it. It is the carbine length with the 250 lumens small diameter head. If you wish I can post pictures in a week (sorry, I'm flying to Dallas in the early am).
