Looking for any night vision Veterans Day deals
I’ve checked a few places I know of, please let me know if I’m missing something.

Might be better off waiting a week or two. The Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales will be coming online soon. Apollo Gear, Goonin Gear, Steele Industries, Customnightvision.com are all good to go. Avoid TNVC, everyone gets their fucking credit card stolen, you'll wait months and overpay to boot.

You know what you wanna get, or a good idea what you're looking for? Secondary market is where it's at right now, everyone's hurting for money and dumping their expensive toys they weren't using enough. Seeing lots of "this is my loaner unit" getting listed for cheap the last few months. With Christmas coming, people are going to want to liquidate big ticket items to free up funds.

Huey, Feral Texas, and Outdoor Legacy are GTG. You probably will find B&H will have some of the best prices and often bonus stuff.

Feral Texas Outdoors has a large and diverse lineup for a small place. They, Huey, and O_L have YT channels showing of the stuff in-field.

I guess it matters what kind of night vision you’re talking about. Wink

Looking for a PVS14, leaning to WP. Gen 2+ or 3.

If you’re using terms like 2+ then I know you’ve been looking at stuff like Photonis and NNVT. You’re going to lose a good bit of clarity going that route. Even surplused Omni tubes are going to beat those. WP in a Gen 2+ is nothing like WP in L3 filmless, at the budget end of the spectrum, you’re better off going with GP tubes in a Gen 3. You’ll pay less and get better resolution. If you have to have WP, I suggest at least getting an Elbit thin filmed Gen 3’s. I stand by my statement that used is probably your best bet, especially for a 14. You can get into a good used one for under two grand.

I have some friends who are deep into this stuff. I’ll see if I can email you that exact comparison video one of them took the other day.

Also, this may be controversial, but don’t write off duals. There’s some really great dual tube setups people are unloading for cheap. I’m talking $3,500 for RNVG’s with older L3 and Elbit thin film GP.

Dang. That's pretty sweet.
