Night Vision Eotech g23 3x magnifier vs pvs-14 3x magnifier

[Ronn72562]

Here is my question
I am a new NV rookie and have a question,I own a g23 3x EO tech magnifier and a eotech NV,and I have on order a pvs-14 .Can you use theses 3 items together.That would be 3 different systems together.Or would it be better to purchase a 3x magnifier to adapt on the pvs -14?
I would think a 3x. Magnifier attached to the pvs 14 would be a better option.

Look forward to any ones response!!!

While you can train the different devices, (I used to do this early on when Mil-Spec magnifiers where hard to get). The downfall is you will have less (diminished) light, some resolution loss and some POA/POI issues in some instances.

You're correct in your assumption that the dedicated 3x magnifiers for the PVS-14 is the better option. That is what the Mil-Spec PVS-14 glass is for. These have virtually no light loss and only a smudge of vignetting on the outer edges.

Using the Eotech 3X magnifier behind your Eotech unfortunately is not a good option.

The Mil-Spec 3X is top quality, and even a Sony HD Camrecorder lens works very well:

Thank you skypup,I guess I can use the eotech 3x magnifier in the day time and use the 3x magnifier with the pvs-14 for night time.
Thanks again
