I'd have to pick the right six numbers for the panoramic... but a gen 3 AN/PVS-14 might be fun to own....

That's the same thing SEAL Team Six uses in the TV show Six. They're way too expensive for me but Uncle Sam is picking up the tab for the SEALs. I could buy a brand new full-size 4x4 truck for less.

Depends if its a law or if its policy.   If its policy, you can, just takes more cash.  If law, its cheaper then msrp.

I can all but guarantee you, if you send a cashiers check to Optics Planet for $43K, they'll send you that night vision. Just as long as the shipping address is in this country.

Any one interested in doing a "group purchase" and "time sharing" it?    ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

If we get 430 folks in the group, it will only be $100 each!!!

my TA31F 4x32 ACOG has scary light gathering ability with a 8mm exit pupil diameter (not the correct name, but typically what it is called by Rednecks like me) if you let your eye dilate... shot a night shotgun match wearing a set of early AN/PVS-2s a lot of years ago... ran into a tree, as they wouldn't focus that close... the technology has really improved..

These work well for spotting coyotes and checking the property for other stuff going on at night.

I was amazed at the view.

There are Gen 3 night vision googles that you can get cheaper than those Gen 2+. I had a NV monocular that I bought really cheap from a department store. It wasn't very good and I took it back. I never bought anything else to replace it. The only time I'm in total darkness is if there's a power failure so I won't likely ever need it.

And while you're at it, don't forget to add in another $1,079.00 to $1,169.00 for the helmet they attach to.

I guess the whole category can get put in the "If you have to ask how much then you can't afford it" box.
