What are your guy's opinions on night vision gear you have worked with? Pros? Cons? Suggestions?

I'm looking at picking some up via http://opticshq.com (I love their price guarantee) and I'm really not sure what to get.

Well I can give you recommendations on PM but not out here.
I think I have.
What sort are you looking for? Head mounted or rifle mounted?

Yes we discussed this before. I'm also wanting to get advice from the other guys. I like the ANPVS-7, but it's a goggle & not monocular. I think a monocular would be best, but again I don't know.

This will be a head mount.

Yes, if a monocular NVG has the same or similar performance as the PVS-7, that is what I woudl recommend.

My sons want me to buy them one too. They say it'd be so cool since nobody would be able to creep around in the bushes near us, lol..but the prices..wow...take me years to save nuff for two.

Tell them that they are wussies and need to do it the old fashioned way hehe.

Our base used the PVS-7D's, and they're not great at all, by far. Are you looking for more quality or price?

What else have you used other than PVS-7?

I had a cheap monocular night vision I got for around $300 online. Of course it's garbage compared to military stuff but if all you're using it for is walks in the woods at night it's perfectly adequate.

Do you know the make and model?
