    Night Vision DTNVGS (new skeletonized model) or SkeetIRx

    LIASONS - thanks for the tip on the Nvision. I think I will wait and check them out given that core and where they will be made. By then, I may even may be able to swing a skeetIRX if that turns out to make the most sense at that time.

    Thank you all for the detailed replies. GBMaryland, thank you for the advice and perspective. I think weapon mounting is a likely possibility so the china skeet or SkeetIRX may be the next item I pick up. And yeah, its BS we can't just get the ecoti at this point. Totally agreed!

    If it helps to know, Eurooptic has Coti's on sale right now for $3k ($2.5k off).

    Night Vision DTNVGS (new skeletonized model) or SkeetIRx

    What do you guys think of the COTI @ $3K for now (with the DTNVG-S @10K)? Is it decent enough to hold me over until next year when I can save up for the skeetIRX (and hopefully find another pair)? Given the terrain, I think NVGs may be better to get first. I also have a PVS-14.

    Yeah, budget is 15K. Hence maybe the DTNVGS and the coti. I know I will not be as happy as with the SkeetIRX. Time to sell some stuff! Horta - your are next level bro. I'm your little brother working my way up.

    Night Vision DTNVGS (new skeletonized model) or SkeetIRx

    I know the skeetIRx is awesome (910 meters out) and very hard to get. Damn, I know its the right one to get first, but 15K - oh boy! I will either buy the SkeetIRx this weekend or the coti. I need thermal in my life - lol

    Mostly hunting. Terrain would be pretty hilly not flat. Thank you!

    The Coti just became available at 3K? How about that with the NVG's? Sound about right. I think only 30Hz for coti versus ecoti so not as great but workable. What do you think?

    Help me decide. I have a PVS-14 already. Would like to use for hunting? DTNVGS = $10K SkeetIRX = $15K (+ lawyer money for divorce). Any advice would be appreciated? P.S., You guys are a tremendously bad influence on my bank account!

    Rifle Scopes Which scope for AIAW SM in 300winmag?

    Thanks for the further replies. Really good points. Just when I thought I had my mind made up - now my head just exploded ;) I will keep thinking, but many good points and options to consider. Also, while only 5mm, the larger objective on the 5-25x56 could theoretically help see better...

    Rifle Scopes Which scope for AIAW SM in 300winmag?

    Hi Guys, Thank you very much for the responses. Yes, I need to decide on further features. Definitely want FFP. Do you think there is a disadvantage going with 3-20 in that caliber? Yes, I know the Bundeswher scoped there AIAW SM 300winmags in 3-12 (Hensoldt SSG). However, I need more than...

    Rifle Scopes Which scope for AIAW SM in 300winmag?

    What would you guys recommend for an AIAW SM in 300winmag? Looking at S&B 5-25 and 3-20. If I had it in 338Laupa, I would go just go with the 5-25, but for 300winmag, not sure which. Also deciding between MSR and H2CMR reticles, but leaning towards MSR. Rangewise, it would be used from...
