garand daddy has good vids on it too
also, if you've got instagram, 9minded and licentia_arms are both great companies that can answer any questions you have
ya, i've gotten most of my info from garand thumb.
i don't have insta, but i could get into it
dtnvgs
solid 15s, but they're GP
follow boogaloo doge on insta if you have it
GP?
oh, gotcha
it's right there in the title...
buying from instagram guys is nice as well, because you'll be able to move around pricing depending on what tunes you want, most stores like tnvc, l3, etc don't really offer that
rnvgs are based off the anvis design iirc, so you lose telescoping tubes in exchange for them being more durable
i saw someone selling a pvs 14 kit on ebay for 3000. Bump helmet mount and gen 3 pvs 14 green phospher
lol that person is out of their mind
pvs14 mounts are like $150 for the absolute gucciest, and a gen 3 GP 14 shouldn't run you over about $1800
probably could find one for $1600 used lel
ty for all these links. signed up for insta as well to follow some of the guys you were all talkin about
@daddy vladdy he does say they are all new
still super expensive
like
licentia was selling WP filmless 14s with like 2k minimum fom for $2350 last time i checked
if i'm getting bnvg, do i care if they're dtnvg? i've been thinking about what sorts of situations those would make sense and can't come up with many
well, they're just a nice set of nods for relatively cheap for what you're getting
as far as articulating tubes, they're nice for doing vehicle work or in the woods where flipups can get caught on doors, branches, etc
i've seen a lot of guys crack their anvis flipups because they hit them on door frames and stuff
obviously, that's not really a concern with a flipup like the rnvg, because those have an aluminum body
ahh. so you just articulate them up so they're not as high and banging on things you don't think about
it's still kind of annoying to have to reset your breakaway every time you bump your head on something tho
yeah, basically they still sit below the top of your helmet, which is nice to have
vlad whats your job?
sorry, one last acronym explanation please? what is "fom"?
if i remember correctly you said youre not military
student and chef
in case it's not obv, i'm also not military. but i do like cool stuff, and i do hunt regularly
fom is figure of merit, basically how much light is picked up by your nods
bigger number = better low light performance
thank you
