I originally wrote this as a reply in another's thread but thought that others on the fence might be interested as well. I'm sure everyone here would like the new top of the line Gen3 but sometimes it's just not in the cards. I have been interested in NV but knew I had to balance this with all the other accessories we seem to accumulate with the BRD. I came across a trade that worked very well to my advantage and couldn't pass it by. (less than half of retail value!) I wish I could've afforded an extra $2k to see another 50yds more clearly, but it will have to wait.
Well, I went out back tonight w/ the ATN Gen2 PS-14. It was a little grainy compared to Vic's Gen3 photos, but I was impressed. I had detail to images 100yds out and recognition capable of 200yds. It came w. a 3x magnifier lens also, it screws into the objective lens in front, it really helps. It also came w/ an IR illuminator (one built in) and one mountable. I was surprised by the reach of this thing!
There are a two small dots on the screen near the perimeter, no big deal. (one at 7 oclock and 2 oclock).
I will try to take a few pics through it this weekend and post them here. It's always nice to see what the options in NV are for others that may be thinking about buying one.
It came w/ a picatinny mount but it does not have enough clearance over my BUIS and length to give proper eye relief.........and line up w/ my 552-which I had to move atop the handguard rail.
I think I might see if a Larue PVS-14 ring mount will fit this. hmmm.
Overall, I'm happy with this. I live in an urban area and won't be night shooting every night...so I don't need the best of the best.
But it's always good to be prepared, right? Have something, not nothing?

Anybody else have an ATN NV?
