    Night Vision PVS-31A vs PVS-31D

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’m not seeing anything from the Horta above in this thread. Am I missing something? I agree he seems like the yoda of NV/thermal around here. Also, my primary area of operations is going to be dark woods. Would that change the balance to favor filmless or even...

    Night Vision PVS-31A vs PVS-31D

    Any update on which of these 31s is better over the last couple years? Considering both and looking to be swayed to one vs the other. How do the quality and service of both companies compare? Like the added features of the 31D. Like the simplicity and lighter weigh of the 31A. I'm much more...

    2024 Night Vision and Thermal Advice

    Thanks for the reply gr8fuldoug. I'm not sure where Pulsar fits in the mix of thermals, but I don't believe they are military grade. I am going with a VooDoo S for the thermal. It's a very impressive device by all accounts and Strictly Offensive Kit is hooking me up. Still leaning towards either...

    2024 Night Vision and Thermal Advice

    Wow guys! What great info! Really appreciate the time you took for this response wigwamitus. Thanks a bunch! Ok I’m now in the voodoo s camp. If I did do a PVS-14 and VDS what helmet setup is recommended? I think I’d want something articulating? I believe you are saying the dbal d2 is not...

    2024 Night Vision and Thermal Advice

    Hey Fellas, Sorry ahead of time for the long winded question. Finally getting ready to pull the trigger on a night vision/thermal set up after more than a decade of shopping. There are a lot of new products that I’m not familiar with now. I literally have nothing, other than night vision...

    Night Vision Trijicon Electro Optics Military Grade?

    So if you had to choose between a new Reap v2 IR or a used LWTS for the same price what would you guys pick and why? I’m going round in circles. Best prices I’m seeing on used LWTS is 8k+. I want to buy this and keep/use it for a long time so longevity and product support are my top priority...

    Night Vision Trijicon Electro Optics Military Grade?

    Thanks for the responses so far. It seems they no doubt make a good product. I have several of Trijicon's traditional mil spec optics and would trust them with my life. With Trijicon's background I was thinking/hoping their elecro optics would be military grade as well. My acog and vcog surely...

    Night Vision Trijicon Electro Optics Military Grade?

    Hey guys, What is the general consensus on the ruggedness of the Trijicon products. I was looking at a FLIR t70 a couple years ago, but couldn't get the funds together at the time. Are these Trijicons military grade like the t70 or are they a more consumer grade optic? The price makes it a lot...

    Rifle Scopes Should I get a USO sr-8m or a Leupold cqbss?

    Thanks German, That is all very good info I appreciate the help. Is the illumination with the 27d clearly day visible (red dot visible) at 1x in your opinion? Kamikaze, Congrats on your new scope! Please do share your thoughts once you get it all mounted up and get some time behind it. Looks...

    Rifle Scopes Should I get a USO sr-8m or a Leupold cqbss?

    Anyone with an sr-8 want to chime in? The poll has the USO in the lead but none of the posters seem to be in favor of it...

    Rifle Scopes Advice please....USO 3.2-17X44 LR-17 or NF F1 3.5-15x50 for same money?

    Either scope is very good, I would consider both top tier. About 5 years ago I had an F1 for about a year. Good scope, but I sold it to fund a USO 3.2-17 fully loaded. I would not go back and I haven't. Since then I have bought 2 more USO ER-25s. Customer service is the best I have ever come...

    Rifle Scopes Should I get a USO sr-8m or a Leupold cqbss?

    Thanks nolegs, I have seen those reviews but I reviewed them again. I feel like I might place the illumination and performing a red dot role a little higher on my list than the reviewers. Even lowlight put an rmr with his cqbss. I just don't know! Dammit

    Rifle Scopes Should I get a USO sr-8m or a Leupold cqbss?

    Haven't decided on a reticle yet, but being I'm not a mil guy I was thinking about the 762 bdc reticle. I'm definitely not a fan of the reticles available in either optic.

    Rifle Scopes Should I get a USO sr-8m or a Leupold cqbss?

    What do you think about the cqbss's ability to be a cqb optic? Is the illumination visible at 1 power? Does it have a large eye box?

    Rifle Scopes Should I get a USO sr-8m or a Leupold cqbss?

    I have been debating an a SCAR 17 optic for a while now and I think I have it narrowed down to the these 2. I love the duel focal plane and dual illumination in the USO, but the optics seem to be inferior to the leupold according to several reviews I have read including the one here on the hide...
