Sportsman's Guide has a great price on the Spartan 410, that's where I got mine ($539 to members) and a return policy second to none. If you don't like the scope for any reason, even if you mount it on your rifle, they will accept it back for a full refund. That's hard to beat and what led me to try the scope in the first place.
My opinion and for what it's worth, get as much magnification in a night vision scope as you can. You will regret it later if you get less. For the intended purpose of hunting over bait, you need to see the target well for a clean shot. A 2X or 3X just won't cut it at any real distance.
One other piece of information, and just for knowledge sake and sharing, I found yet another infrared light that I am in the process of testing.
This light has 140 LEDs, operates on 850 nm, is DC or AC adaptable, and pulls 18 watts. Last night I placed it in a tree at my shooting range, at a distance of 94 yards. I hooked up a small Cabela's gel cell battery, then tested the illumination with both the Spartan 410 scope and also my Sony camera. Man, that light is bright and is at least the eqivalent of three of the smaller lights I have been using, but I can see so well that it's esentially like having the 5 small I lights at my current site. Those have 48 LEDs each. One of these lights at a bait site will provide all the illumination a Gen 1 scope needs. The light shipped to my address was $44.00
One potential problem with the light is that it emitts a small, humming noise. Not sure if that will be of concern for a coyote or not. I guess I won't know until I test it. I have heard that coyotes adapt to lights etc., even street lights, so maybe the noise will not be a problem. Time will tell.
Just thought I would share more information for any of you who might be considering night vision and infrared lights for your bait site.
Here's the light.
