    I was going to say the same thing YALE. The guys at Ident Marking always have a whole bunch of NV stuff out when I have been there. They were renting a couple to a guy last time I was there for engraving.

      Seriously, if you aren't ready to drop $3k plus on something it's better to just not waste your money.

        I'd have to agree with this. I have a PVS-14 with an aviation tube and it's clear. About as clear as things get. And that shit doesn't come cheap. Nightvision isn't for peasants. The Russian Gen1's will allow you to identify the general size, distance, and type of target, but that's about it. The big money comes when you're talking clarity, resolution, noise, sensitivity, and illumination.

          Talked to an engineer that works at EoTech, and they have a new thermal scope of some kind coming out and this guy said he would bring me one to test out. I will let you guys know how it works.

            I have a nightowl gen 2 I bought for 300. Its just a monocular with infrared but I can clearly see up to about 250 yards. I like it and haven't had problems.

              Does anyone have any experience with Bushnell? I would like a $3k product, but I just need something to let me see in pitch black conditions.

                How far do you need to be able to see?
                "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776

                      how far ya need to see, and do you mind using an illuminator?

                      My preference is usually FLIR, but some IIS systems work pretty well...especially with an illuminator if its pitch black out.

                      You dont need an LRAS/ITAS/ITSS/HTI or any other cooled system for that matter unless were talking a TEC. Or if you really want to see several miles with high recognition.

                      Which bushnell are you referring to?

                        my company just acquired a NV manufacturer, i was really hoping the acquisition = free NVG's, but i'm getting the impression that's not going to happen.
