I am soon to return from overseas and had been talking to someone about getting a clip on NVD to help me in my night time hog elimination adventures and then stumbled onto this. He was going to get me a PVS 24 with recoil hardened tube so it could handle the recoil on my 308, 300WSM, and 338LM for $6,500. I did get to play with it before I deployed and it worked great at the 200-250 yards i got to look at. but….
I just recently stumbled onto this Armasight CO-LR Gen 3 ghost clip on that allows up to 10x for only $4,500. I am really liking the black and white view that seems to have better contrast than the green color we are all used to. https://www.armasight.com/night-vision/night-vision-clip-on-systems/armasight-co-lr-gen-3-ghost-mg/
(I personally hate the PVS-22 I have here at work and it is junk past 4x, which pisses me off even more since we have a SFP KF 2.5-10 scope, but I will save that rant for another time.)
My questions are:
Does anyone on here have experience with this Clip On??
If so how did it perform at different magnifications and distances?
How well does it work with lasers? infrared or visible?
It does not mention what recoil it can handle, can we get a definitive answer on that? in writing?
(they do picture it on a SCAR-17 which is supposedly an optics killing recoil machine, but that could just be an advertising shot not in use)
If this is as good as I hope it is I will be ordering one very soon!
P.S. I don't want this thread to get derailed into which brand is better, if green is better, or any of that. Just the questions I mentioned so I know whether on not to buy this. If it can't handle the recoil of my rifles I do not want it and will get the recoil hardened tube offer I already have.
thanks.
