    Night Vision best batteries for a D740?

    Re: best batteries for a D740? I also agree with Vic but wanted to expand a little. Alkaline batteries work well (not as good as lithium in cold climates). The problem with alkaline (and other) batteries are when they go dead. Alkaline batteries build up a gas when they die and rupture the...

    Night Vision new technology!

    Re: new technology! The XR5 is a very good tube. Just not the worlds best night vision technology. On par with US Omni V gen 3. Great tubes but they are not cheap. Good for guys outside the US who have no other options. In the US you have ITT and L3 tubes which are cheaper and perform better...

    Night Vision L3 or ITT PVS-14?

    Re: L3 or ITT PVS-14? L3 internal tube designations are confusing as crap even to those who know. I like L3 tubes but I always bitch as to why they need to make things complicated. What is so hard about having a milspec line and a commercial tube without a million other classifications in...

    Night Vision tube?

    Re: tube? AEO, Night Vision Depot and many others. Almost any dealer will sell you a tube but often you have to call and ask. Why?? Most dealers don't want to warranty a tube without knowing who will install it. Lots of idiots...

    Night Vision I've got an Autogated question.....

    Re: I've got an Autogated question..... With a AG tube you are fine. Use your tube and get the most out of it. Don't worry about porch lights and such as your scope is designed for that. Bright lights do cause damage on a long term scale but it is minor. Using it in daylight ?? Yes , it will...

    Night Vision L3 or ITT PVS-14?

    Re: L3 or ITT PVS-14? I LIKE ITT tubes because I find they have better specs and a much lower halo. I own both but I like ITT.
