Quote HistoryQuoted: when did you order? 0610 their time on 7/3. 1-2wk crowd. TNVC said a ton should go out this week. I saw a few people complain about having to be home all day to sign for this...I assumed people would know, but just in case you dont- you can redirect to your local FedEx Print & Ship. They usually have fairly decent hours and no having to wait around. UPS makes me hold it at a local hub, which is far away, rather than the small local stores. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: dumb question and stupid to ask but I am guessing this deal expired? The introductory price was just that, so that has indeed expired. We have temporarily suspended new sales of XLS systems to give us an opportunity to ensure that we can devote the time and resources to ensuring that every customer that ordered gets a properly built, high quality system that lives up to our standards, and since lead times have grown considerably, we are not currently accepting orders for new systems, and of course the current COVID situation has made everything (to say nothing of the market and demand) just a little bit less predictable than usual. However, the XLS line will be a regular part of Night Goggles' product line consistent with Night Goggles' core mission of bringing high quality night vision devices to consumers at lower price points, just because they can't be ordered right now doesn't mean you've missed the boat forever, however we will not be accepting new orders for a little bit here until we're confident that we can deliver a quality product with a reliable lead time. ~Augee |

Question about these "spots", since I am still ignorant a good bit...
...will they get worse? Will they get larger, or could they propagate, or move, or multiply (like rust under chrome or paint or something, or like a bit of debris on a lens that shifts around and so forth?)? Do they signal a tube with any kind of mechanical weakness inherent to it? My only experience with this sort of thing is trash inside a Leupold MK6 reticle on the lens (internal), and it just got worse, so while I realize that is NOTHING like a tube, I also know asking is free and can swallow my pride enough to ask the dumb question. |

Most people don't know that your FOV has a blind spot in it, in each eye, that the brain automatically fills with what it thinks should go there so you don't have "blems in your tubes".

These all look great! Almost wish I would have waited for this sale! I ordered some dtnvg’s from TNVC in April with the L3 WP tubes, then asked for the upgrade to the DTNVS’s whenever they came in. Then I “had” to hop on the coti deal, so I was kinda maxed out by the time these came out. I wish my wait was only 4 months! Glad so many more people are getting NV. Might be less lonely running around at night.
