Head Mounted Night Vision Gear

[flatlineroz]

I know people have skirted around the edges of this but I thought I would ask a direct question.

I don't have the skills or the money to spend making a DIY set of NVGS so only off the of the shelf stuff

is it worth getting and what would you get (OPTIC?)

I am looking at under 1k as it will really only be a play thing.

Are the ones in magazines worth the $800 or is there somewhere else that is worth a look.

I have used NVGS 10+ years ago how would they compare to today's lower end (civilian) gear?

Cheers

Look to be honest you need to chat with David about the off the shelf stuff.

You will find him in past posts on N/V. Send him a PM.

We have head mounted N/V, but its not what you can get off the shelf.

Keeping in mind your budget, the stuff we have is way above that.

And its built from different things that are on the market then turned into what we want.

The market sells Gen 1 and 2 in most cases. And invented 10 years ago.

They work ok for some things.

What did you want to do with it?

I have a Pigmy N/V that i may sell, but its a hand held thing.

Best bet is to have a chat to David when it comes to off the shelf stuff, im serious when i say he knows his stuff.

All the best with it.

Mostly I want to shoot rabbits and re live my younger days

Im watching with great interest a thread which is on AHN.

These guys are doing what we were aiming at.

But in a different way.

If its rabbits you want just keep in mind just how far you face will be from the scope.

Thats with a head mounted N/V. It is possible and has been done.

Which is fine with a 22, but not with the big calls.

Having said that i intend to try my head mount out with the 223 and a bipod. It will work, how good is another thing.

But my head mount is not one you can buy off the shelf.

Ill go as far to say there are only 2 in this country.
