I tested their entire line of Night Vision a couple years ago and here is an online write-up
http://www.rifleshootermag.com/news/wolf-ammunition-now-making-tactical-optics/

These are slightly smaller than a PVS-14 and use one standard AA battery. I have compared them side by side with my Gen 3 PVS-14 and performance was very similar.
For $1665 they are a smoking deal for anyone looking to get into Gen 3 night vision.

They are also offering them with a headmount

They are also blowing out Night Vision scopes for rifles
Their PN23 is a lightweight Gen 3 rifle scope for $2195
This is actually a really nice small night vision scope which works great on an AR

Their PN22K is a larger optic which offers both day and night capability
you just rotate a knob on top and it switches from day to night, again Gen 3 NVD
price is just $2225
pictures on their website are wrong, for some reason they have pics of the PN23 there

Video review of various WPA optics including night vision

I can smell the burning credit cards through the Internet.

I don't remember ever before seeing any quantity of gen 3 monoculars going for that kind of money. My repot AEO unit was well over $2k quite a few years ago.

Damn it Dave.

Now I need to find more money for Xmas gifts.

Just to be clear, these are russian tubes, in russian housings, that most likely wont work with any pvs 14 accessories, it says it has autogating, but seeing as its russian.... The big thing is it's a russian tube & housing, so there will be no replacement tubes if & when yours kicks off & I doubt a 10160 tube will work with housing either. Just some things to think about.

This all day. It's better to pay a little more for a used pvs-14. I bought gen 3 pvs-7's at $1300, the US made deals are out there.

WPA?  Same maker as Wolf ammo?

TRUE! They are Russian produced at NPZ.
The monoculars will not work with PVS14 accessories, at least not without some type of adapter.

I know RS Regulate of AK mount fame had been looking at building a mount, but dunno if they ever did.

Even so, performance is very good.

Plus keep in mind, there is only a small quantity of these units available. Perhaps 5 to 10 of each.

WPA is a brand, these were made by NPZ of Russia, one of their oldest optics manufacturers first set up by Carl Zeiss in 1905 I believe.
They are imported and distributed by Wolf.

agreed
but it is likely one adapter away

Lately I have seen older Gen 3 pvs 14s with 10160 and 11769 tubes around $1500! Used of course. I would take those over these. Hell, there are some tubes and bodies in the EE right now that one could piece together a good gen 3 pvs 14 for around $1300.

Not that good of a deal really.

That's the magic word that makes it not worthwhile.

Isn't that typical!!

I agree also.  Heck, there is a Gen3 ITT F9815J tube on the EE for $500 and used PVS-14 "housing" (for the price I think it would be complete with glass) for $575.  So for $1075 you can have a Gen3 PVS-14 if you can follow a youtube video on assembling a PVS-14.  If I didn't already have a PVS-14 and a MOD3 I'd be jumping on these.

IMHO - since these are Russian i would stay away.  save your pennies and buy a used US made PVS14.

YMMV.

@clharr Are these any good?

I have both Russian and American made night vision, including two PVS-14s

There is a place for both

my favorite NVD is still my first one, an ancient Gen 1 1PN-58 from NPZ
it is just a lot of fun

I have built Pvs 14s for $1500, they are not a good deal

Not everyone wants to build

Yup
Wish it was mine
ETA: maybe not

The Russians can make decent gear when they want. They tend to keep the good stuff and sell the trash. Same thing applies to night vision. They keep the best tubes and sell the garbage. Russian Gen 3 is far behind US Gen 3 (at least the export stuff is). Nope, save your pennies.

bumpage

Any good guides you guys could recommend on building one?

Head over to the night vision section in the armory. Lots of smart folks there, and a certain vendor who is the shit will be along to sell you new parts and toys.
