I want a gen 3 moncular lots of different grade tubes many manufacturers. What signal to noise ratio should i go with.

The highest you can get! Aaron sold me an L-3 SNR 34 last year ... but today he told me an SNR 37 existed ... I'd never heard of a 37 before today ... so now I want a 37 !!! ;)

High 20s ... like 28 or 29 ... are just fine ... :)

Went out first time last night with a friends Zeus 75 last pm. I was impressed. I don't think I can wait too long to buy a thermal.

Like the title says baring unforseen circumstances who here will buy a night vision or thermal in the next 365 days? If so I have some questions?

1. What will you be buying night vision, thermal, or both?
Thermal only
2. What will you be using the equipment for?
Hog hunting and general varmint shooting.
3. Do you have a specific unit in mind if so which one?
Actively considering a Armasight 640/75, but unsure of whether to get a 30 or 60 hz model. Will occasionally be driving around to look for animals in addition to standing hunting, and will use an AR10 in 7.62.

Ive had no troubles with the 30hz units driving and scanning. 60hz will run the batteries down twice as fast.

30hz works fine. Depending on how you hunt get a pvs14 or thermal Monocular for a spotter and its church.

If I can ever come up with the money, I would like to get a SighMark Photon. Primary use is for hog hunting.

I would like to get another thermal around next spring. Just don't know what to get just yet. I'm still using the W1000. I want something lighter and that will see just as good or better.

1. I'll be buying thermal

2. Hog hunting and spotting. Mostly from a vehicle over large open fields. Some ground stalking as required.

3. Zeus 640 with 75mm lens(2ea).

My plan is to have one mounted on my rifle and use the other one for spotting and hunting partners to use.

1.) I am upgrading my 336 3X Thor (2014 model) scope to the 640 2.5x. They have a Core and Lens upgrade program that I'm taking advantage of.

2.) Planning on buying a PVS-14 within the year. I think it would be beneficial for walking around, identification, etc. Problem is I have no idea what to purchase. Little help on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Well - I did it..

Talked to Aaron at Night Combat Solutions - and spent some $$,$$$.

I have:
- Zeus Pro 640 100mm - 30hz on order,
- Pulsar HD38A in hand now, and
- PVS-14 also in hand now.
- Team Wendy helmet on order.

I carried the Pulsar out to my lease to check it out. Really amazing. Checked out cattle in both white & black hot to about 400-500yds.
Can't wait to get my Zeus and start whackin' hogs and yotes with my 270AR..

Who makes the 270 AR? Is that Olympic Arms? Is the lower receiver an AR-10?
