    Night Vision New NV and Thermal Gear at 2024 Shot Show

    You’re actually wrong… again. With thermals, the mm number 35mm etc. doesn’t refer to the diameter of the objective lens. I recommend a little research.

    Night Vision New NV and Thermal Gear at 2024 Shot Show

    🤦‍♂️ My reading comprehension was just fine. I know you didn’t say all thermals suck. You said clip-ons suck. It’s actually your reading comprehension that’s experiencing a hiccup. I was very open to the possibility of your having just misstated your situation, but you’ve now clarified that...

    Night Vision New NV and Thermal Gear at 2024 Shot Show

    I’d recommend searching around this forum for several days before making any decisions. There’s more to learn than you can get from one or two responses and it’s a big financial decision for most people. First, I’d search “ clip-on vs stand alone thermal”. There are pros and cons to each and...

    Night Vision New NV and Thermal Gear at 2024 Shot Show

    Maybe you meant something different from what you typed? What you typed is that you tried one product (statistically likely that it was a budget brand based on market share and your specific description), and then dismissed the entire category as products that “suck at anything but 1x”. You...

    Liberty Optics Still Legit?

    Aaron Scott. He was a partner in a legit gold selling business. Bought out his partner and immediately stopped shipping product.

    Liberty Optics Still Legit?

    I was defrauded about $4000 in a similar situation in 2016 (reputable long standing businesses suddenly stopped shipping product while still taking orders). I was one of 133 people who got taken for between $400 and $103,000 each. Yesterday… yesterday… I got a check from the DOJ. They found...

    2024 Night Vision and Thermal Advice

    Not trying to be too abrasive, but the OP specifically asked for people NOT to give the category of response you just gave. “I really want to stick to products that are “military grade” or have been issued. Not interested in imported from china or consumer level products.” With the notable...

    2024 Night Vision and Thermal Advice

    With your budget and use cases, I’d recommend considering the Voodoo-S over the Skeetir-X. Similar, but the Skeetir is pretty much an excellent monocular that can handle light clip on use. The Voodoo-S is more balanced on the spectrum of which it excels at, doing both clip on and monocular duty...

    UTC-X vs CNVD-T3

    I don’t know. The only one that I’ve seen sell recently (within a year) was reduced a couple times and sold while listed for 6K. Don’t know if a deal was struck below that or not. Newer options (some good and some not) are putting a lot of pressure on the price of older/out of warranty items.

    UTC-X vs CNVD-T3

    Very few people have looked through both, none the less, both side by side in similar conditions. Maybe one of them will chime in 🤷‍♂️ Until then, the UTC-X has 4 times the resolution (4 pixels with unique information for every 1 on the CNVD-T3). The human eye interprets this more like double...

    PVS-14 3x magnifier advice

    You may be right about their most recent offering (I think the jury is still out), so I’ve edited my comment to reflect that. I keep buying magnifiers because I don’t learn 🤣 After spending: 4k for the 14 2k for the laser 2k for the helmet/mount/coms setup… I tell myself I’m just a $150...

    PVS-14 3x magnifier advice

    Brand new mil issue 3X magnifiers (there were 3 different mil approved suppliers and all are good) sell for about 150 regularly. Ask around or check the FB groups. I LOVE the image and extra info 3X magnifiers give, but I always end up selling them because I never actually end up finding a...

    Night Vision Clip-on decision: Voodoo S or M, or something else?

    The voodoo-M is available with a rangefinder right now (not sure which designation it gets). It’s approximately 9k more than the Voodoo-ML 😬

    Night Vision NV vs Thermal Effective Ranges

    If we applied this same approach to other fields.., Qualified dentists are getting rare, so it seems quality dental work is looking overrated as time goes on. It seems rifles aren’t being made reliable or accurate anymore so it seems quality rifles are looking overrated as time goes on. It...
