Finally, after 3 years of wanting and coming close the last 2, I ordered TNV-PVS14 L3 with all the goodies!!!

Now for the torturous wait.

Couple weeks for the monocular itself, 3-4 for a different mount they suggested.  So, not too terribly long!

TNVC is not a "Big box night vision store". They build scopes to meticulous standards and hand inspect every tube. They don't buy hundreds of tubes and slam them into housings. It is worth the wait ! My .02...

Congrats on joining the ranks of the nocturnal!  As previously said - TNVC PVS-14s are well worth the wait.... and the $.  Mine took a tortuous 6-weeks.

Well. Now you've done it.
Once you attain Super Powers, there's no turning back.
In fact, you will want MORE Super Powers.

It is a laugh-out-loud spiral that will have you spouting stuff like "You can't take your money with you." and "He who dies with the most toys, wins."
And, by George, you will know it to be be the truth.

Congrats man!
The only thing I would suggest is to go ahead and get yourself a counterweight for your helmet.  I know the single tube unit isn't that heavy, but the counterweight balance will really help your neck....

They suggested it, but I thought I'd see how it worked without it first.

Some folks using monoculars are quite happy without a counterweight, and have been for years.

Looked forward to ordering this thing for 3 yrs now.  Had money in hand the first and panic bought a Barrett as Sandy Hook had just happened.  

BTW, I am hosting a family reunion at my farm not this weekend but the next.  Sure would be cool if I could show off my new night vision!!!
