Been thinking about getting one of these:
Zeiss/Eltro Orion 80/I (FERO Z51) Night Vision Scope, Cope's Distributing
It's 3 gen 1 tubes arranged in cascade and supposedly equal to or better than gen 2. A real German HK claw mount is worth $280 by itself, so the NV scope is only costing about $300. It will withstand recoil from a .308 or Panzerfaust, something my PVS-14 won't do.
Seems like it might be neat to pick one up for fun? I could always use the HK mount to put a different scope on my Vector now that I finally got the rifle working.
Update: LOL, I bought one from http://www.dansammo.com/odds.asp for $549 shipped. I heard this seller has brand new still in the plastic wrap units. Hopefully I'll get one of those. Let's see how this ridiculous big honking thing turns out.
