I'm new to NV, and trying to keep my wallet heavy and my setup light

I have neither a NV red dot nor an IR laser, so the ITL MARS is appealing as it is both.  Do they still make this? Price?
Anyone using it?

I saw on TNVC the MARS spec is .3 mW, which is much less than the standalone class 1 IRs at 0.7mW
So I guess the effective range is shorter too...

I just ordered a Eolad with class 1 IR laser from TNVC last week I like the idea of eotech/ IR laser all in one package. I have also looked at the MARS I am not sure on the sales policy on those to non police/military but have seen them turn up for sale around the net used in the past never cheap though    . A NV rifle scope is very nice to have accuracy wise at longer ranges I have a couple and owned many more NV sights in the past. That said there are many times I just perfer a good eotech and free hand the NV mono with 2X or 3X lens simple and light to carry. I have did this for so long I can place shoots scary well at mid range 25-75 yards one handed or use shooting sticks or knee sitting on the ground for more stable longer range shots. I have friends that can't shoot worth a damm at night this way but for some reason it works great for me.

I saw a used MARS on ebay, but I'm a bit nervous about buying used when it comes to IR lasers.

The eolad is also .7, so I assume better range than the MARS when used with PVS14.  I'm not a big fan of the eotec reticle tho.  I'm an ACOG fan, and since they don't work well with the 14 that's why I want a laser.

Bet Agent Wu saw that laser too. Stay away from it. That one eBay is only 0.4 mw and I doubt any concern but still use caution.

I looked at those and passed due to the way the pressure switch cord is set up.
I don't know how hard it would be to replace the cord/switch if it was damaged.

From what I have seen, they are pretty tough, but should it go down your stuck AFAIK

They are next to indestructable from my experience so far.
