    Night Vision PVS-31A vs PVS-31D

    I can recommend Ryan at Apollo very highly. Plus he will give you a further discount if you don’t want or need the G24 mount that comes with them. He regularly lets you hand pick the specs as well. I have heard mixed reviews of Steele other than great prices. Actually I am still waiting to hear...

    Night Vision PVS-31A vs PVS-31D

    Agree, it's a wealth of information and a great group overall. Out of curiosity what did you end up going with?

    So… Philadelphia…

    I have been a member at Mifflin for 6-7 years. I went once on a weekend and that was the last time for that. During the week it is most often pretty slow, never once had to wait on a bench. Several times I spent the whole day there without seeing a single other person. I like the club and its...

    Night Vision PVS-31A vs PVS-31D

    Thank you for the clarification on these concerns. I did move the focus and diopters early on when removing the covers. Seems to be a better now being really careful. Still wish they were a bit stiffer though. I haven't seen a single star since I got the goggles with the lousy weather in...

    Night Vision PVS-31A vs PVS-31D

    Optics planet was running a special for about $9100. Their unit did not have the adjustable diopters though so that adds 5-600. Like I said earlier though I canceled that order and went with Apollo.

    I hear what you’re saying, but I’ve become anti China on many levels. Used to go there for work pre covid. Saw enough.

    2024 Night Vision and Thermal Advice

    Ok fellas, just an update on the progess. PVS-31d has arrived via Apollo Optics. Ryan was excellent to deal with and I highly recommend. Strictly Offensive Kit is in the process of getting me a Voodoo s. Preston and Joe have been an absolute wealth of knowledge. Hopefully it arrives soon! I went...

    Night Vision PVS-31A vs PVS-31D

    Ok, so i've had the goggles for 2 days and have about 2 hours on them between getting them set up and trying them in different lighting and environments. This is the first night vision device i've ever had or possibly even looked through so take this for what it's worth. First impressions are...

    Night Vision PVS-31A vs PVS-31D

    Absolutely, that was one of the reasons. They wouldn't even tell me what the specs were.

    Night Vision PVS-31A vs PVS-31D

    So I ended up canceling the order from Optics Planet for a few reasons and ended up ordering the last set from Apollo Optics. Ryan has been great to deal with thus far. The Goggles should be in tomorrow, and I'm really looking forward to trying them out. Will report back once I get to give them...
