    Night Vision What is this?

    Looks like an ATN 450mw IR illuminator w/ rail mount. Not great, not terrible. I liked the ones that I had but sold them almost ten years ago.

    PVS 27 question

    Ok, that makes more sense. You are correct, these are functionally worth far more than $4k. In their OEM configuration, they are the ultimate long range I^2 clip-on, IMHO. I've owned 100+ NVDs at this point, in green and white phosphor across the whole spectrum of performance specifications...

    PVS 27 question

    I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to ask in the first couple of lines. How is it that they sell for more than $4k? Brand new they are much, MUCH more $$. ~$4k is a great deal for a good condition PVS-27, given what they are capable of. Yes, they're gen 3 Pinnacle tubes installed from...

    Night Vision Help me pick out a Clip on.

    Glad to see my final SIMRAD is once again out doing the Lord's work :cool: They really are crazy good for the cash.

    Night Vision Help me pick out a Clip on.

    If you can use a front rail and don't mind the extra $$, get a PVS-27. If not, get a KN203 SIMRAD. I've used both extensively, never needed an illuminator with either. The cost-effectiveness of a KN203 cannot be overstated. Don't worry about recoil with either one, both are tanks.

    Night Vision PVS-27 and 30 questions

    I've wned a bunch of both, love both, but the PVS27 is my favorite in all regards. The difference in image quality is really only apparent with 10x+ magnification from my experience. Every single 27 I've owned and used had a great tube in it, the tubes in the 203s were far more variable as...

    Rifle Scopes 150 Scopes tested, Results Posted !

    Thank you to all involved for putting this info together. That is pretty incredible how well the gen 2 Razors do considering their average street price. I may have to pick one up, but the weight has always deterred me. I mostly prefer to hold rather than dial, but this is still extremely...

    Night Vision Old German Night Vision Scope

    Not saying this is for sure your issue, but I've had to repair the focus mechanism on two german Zeiss Z51 Orion scopes over the last few years. Whoever "refurbed" the two that I had to do surgery on managed to masterfully butcher the placement of the internal focus gear in relation to the...

    Night Vision Lost and needing some advice on night vision scopes

    The only way you are going to come anywhere near that performance (distance being the biggest issue) for anywhere NEAR a $1k budget is w/ a KN203 SIMRAD and you're still going to be paying about double that. I've shot SIMRADs much further than that and never felt underequipped. They are...

    Suppressors Dead Air Mask vs Rugged Oculus

    My brother's Oculus sounds outstanding, it handily beat all of my rimfire cans (including the relatively recent Halcyon) on a pistol w/ the exception of the Optimus Micro which sounded identical to our ears. On rifles most of the 22 cans we have sound very similar, but pistols really separate...

    Night Vision Seeing your bubble level at night for long distance shooting.

    Yep, I had to resurrect this thread I forgot about since I finally wound up with a truly effective solution that kills three birds with one stone. My primary precisionish day/night scoped rifle is a lightweight home built Aero/Ballistic Advantage w/ a 2.5-10x32 optic on it. I have never been...

    Night Vision What tube would you want in your clip on?

    That's a pretty big deal, very cool. The demand for 27s is about to go full retard. Going to have to grab a mag of SS109 and make some sparks tonight :)

    Optics WTB: LaRue Tactical LT-123 30mm QD rings

    Hello Hide, I'm looking for a good deal on this specific model of QD rings for a project. I have no idea if that project will pan out or not, so I'm not looking to pay full price from LT's site. I don't want the VFZ (non-QD) or any other height/ring diameter. If anyone has a set that they...

    Night Vision What tube would you want in your clip on?

    You've got brass balls taking one apart to do this, good on you. I am looking forward to seeing thru tube pics. I almost bought a non-functional unit just to take it apart and see how it ticked, did you by chance take pics of the insides and how you disassembled it step by step? If so, I...

    Night Vision What tube would you want in your clip on?

    I like mine the way it is, but I would love to have an L3 filmless autogated GREEN tube in there since I rarely use illuminators. Of the choices you listed, the L3 would be my pick.

    Night Vision Recommendations for clip on NVG for .308

    Great contribution and pics, I know firsthand how hard it is to get good pics like that. Out of curiosity, what is the day optic from those shots and what magnification? I remember being positively shocked the first time I got to shoot beyond 500 yd at night w/ a quality gen 3 clip-on, it made...

    Night Vision Recommendations for clip on NVG for .308

    Yep, I believe that. Mine has a nice tube and I can get to 15x but not without some scintillation. 12x no problem. That said, I typically prefer shooting around 8-10x for the wider FOV. The 27 has definitely spent too much time at the buffet, but wow does it ever get things done 😀

    Night Vision Recommendations for clip on NVG for .308

    I've spent a lot of time behind PVS-9s, 27s, and 30s. The PVS-27 is my favorite, hands down. It isn't light, but long distance shooting is usually done from a supported position. The placement of the focus adjustment on the 27 makes using it much easier than the 30. I wish I would have...
