The price for Gen 2+ starts at under 1,000. I'd like to take a look at one if you get your hands on one, I would like to see the difference between it and the Gen 3. |

don't buy gen2. spend the money and get the gen3 or don't go night vision.
gen2 are ok but need an illuminator. Gen3 were made to "hunt" gen2. |

you can look at NV like looking at flash lights.
gen 1 is like a mini mag light. (not much light and no distance) gen 2 is like a C-cell mag light. (good light up close but not much at distance) gen 3 is like a 120 lumen Surefire. (good light at distance) the gen3 sell themselves. once you look thru one you will throw rocks at the 1 and 2. |

Do you like one brand or model over another. Maybe a vendor to look at? Looking at the ATN web site... seems that the 2+ is more expensive than the 3? Thanks |

I think you have to look at who makes them.
you have ITT Litton and they are the best by far. then a full step down is russian, ATN etc. not saying ATN will not suit your needs. it may. You have to look at what you can get by with. the problem is the lower gens look like your trying to see thru a murky fish tank. a 2 can cost more than a 3. |

Can first is my advice on 'toys' that I enjoy. Once you go suppressed, everything else is loud and obnoxious. TRG |
