First let me just say hello as I'm a newbie to this forum.
Quick backstory:
I had an alarming conversation with the folks at ATN in San Francisco this Friday that stemmed out of a warranty issue on a PVS 14 3P I sent them for I considered to be too many little black spots in the instensifier tube to be acceptable on a Pinnacle hand select unit when the subject of recoil came up.
I WAS about to buy a PS 22 clip on from them also with the gen 3 Pinnacle tube in it for almost 5K.
They (ATN) basically told me that if I mounted that pinnacle tube on anything more than a .223 I would be running the risk of spotting it up and degrading the intensifier. They suggested that I downgrade to 3A or upgrade to Gen 4 which frankly caught me off guard as I don't think such an animal really exists. Anyhow I'm glad for th honesty ad thankful that I dodged that metaphorical bullet which leads me to the Wasp.
After getting off the phone with the tech at TNVC, he told me about their new Wasp which won't be on their website until next week or begin shipping till March but you can see it on youtube and it may have been this forum or AR15.com where read about it as well. I'm wanting the one with the Litton tube which is Lapua and .50 BMG rated for recoil.
My 700 PSS is setup with a Leup 3.5-10x44 lit reticle tac on a Badger rail and the NV unit will sit on a Badger Embedded Rail up front which looks to be about dead even height wise. I'm wondering about height alignment ring wise on this one.
My Sig R716 is the one I need a recommendation on the glass for. Again rail is even front to back and the NV will ride up front. Looks like tight real estate but I'm thinking that a 9" to 10" scope should work. I'm leaning hard towards the Vortex 1-6x24 Razor HD Gen II 30 mm.
Sorry about the long winded post. Thoughts??
