I think I'm interested in getting a medium magnification night vision clip on to supplement my thermal habit and to provide a more positive target ID.  I've never used one before.  I plan for it to be switched between rifles and be mounted in front of a 1-6, 2.5-10, and 2.5-15 scope.   Rifles are 5.56, 6.8SPC, 6.5 Creedmore, and a SCAR17 in 308.  Most of the time magnification will be less than 10X, and more often around 6X.

My limited internet search says that some of the lighter weight/lower cost options won't work with rifles over 5.56, which takes out the PVS24.   The PVS-27 and 30 are readily available, but weigh over 3 pounds.  I'm old, low speed and high drag, and would prefer not to have to drag that weight around.  I'm also unable to pay new Knight's prices for their lighter weight UNS models.  What's out there that works, durable, is relatively affordable, and relatively light?

TIA!

The standard PVS24 wont work for you but the PVS24 CNVD-LR will and weights only 1.9lbs

Thanks!  I didn't catch that it was .308 rated.  How's the view through it at 10X?

I do not have first hand experience with the LR version. I do have the standard 24 and it is adequate for pig hunting out to about 250 yards with a 4X ACOG. I have gone to 6X on a nightforce NX8 and it produces a decent image with a DBAL D2 or Luna ELIR-3 providing supplemental IR light.

It is my understanding that the LR version is simply on an entirely different level and 10X with the LR should be easy. LR has a 110mm objective compared to the 55mm on the standard 24

I’ve never even seen any videos of the uns a3. Have you spent time behind one? What do you think?
