Cool, thanks.  Looks like that's just the newest BNVD-SG iteration then.  Looking forward to getting my "in production" email!

Well, my XLS WP BNVD,s showed up yesterday and I gotta say for the price I paid for these during the Black Friday sale I’m more than happy with them. I will also say I am very happy with JRH throughout the 6 month wait process.

Only 1 pin hole blem in zone 2 on the right tube that I didn’t even notice till I looked at a white wall and even then it took a few minutes to find.
Left tube is blem free.

Specs L/R

Photocathode  2434/2479

Halo .94/.98

EBI  .84/2.05 (ouch)

Lum Gain 67442/68380

Res 64/64

FOM 2157/2080

Overall nice specs, I am however pretty surprised by the huge gap between EBI left to right.

I'm bummed I didn't have the money to buy  A WP XLS BNVD. Those are some great specs and the blem will not be even noticed unless looking at a white wall.

Yes, I didn't even notice it until I look at the wall, also My domain eye is right, so it is not an issue for me.

Good luck with this, I saved up every penny for almost 3 years. Gen 3 BNVD WP are like 10K everywhere I looked. This is good deal for me (recreational use).

Robert, you crushed my order out of the ballpark!  Amazing set of BNVDs. Couldn’t be happier and the wait was worth the product.

The specs: L/R
FOM: 2009/1996
EBI: 0.23/0.34
Resolution: 64/64
S/N: 31.4/31.2
Blems: One small blem on L tube that disappears when focused to infinity.

Thanks again for the incredible set!

Got my unit in. Spec wise pretty good, happy with the SNR:

31.2 SNR
1.99 EBI
.67 Halo

31.7 SNR
1.27 EBI
.92 Halo

However, the right tube has a pretty big spot in zone 1. Much more noticeable and larger when looking through it with the eyeballs instead of the phone camera. Sucks cause I haven't seen anyone else's examples have such a prominent spot/blem, but that's luck of the draw. I'm hoping that I'll learn to not pay attention to it, however it's going to be pretty distracting while passive aiming

Mine is like that and there's no noticeable difference in most or any conditions after a year of daily use. Ive used mine in 20 degrees to 100+ degrees F.

I'm curious about the differences and reasons for the change from the PVS-14 objectives vs. The new objectives that used to only be in the BNVD-UL and mini. One guy DMed me randomly saying he regretted getting the ULs over the SG because the 14 objectives seem more sturdy, though he didn't have any problems with them or anything like that.

Funny you mention this - I was just emailing about Objectives yesterday. I was going to pre-buy some Amber Filters from LLI and wanted to make sure they would fit. So does this mean the SG's went on a little diet?

My 14 and BNVD comparison. I’m not sure if the amber filter would attach to the new BNVD frame.

And before the freaking out and gathering of pitchforks and tar and feathers starts up by others that watch this thread and order dates religiously-

This customer ordered a FDE color dipped unit. We had an earlier dated customer order the same unit, then make a last minute cancellation of that unit. That already dipped housing had to be used for another order of the same color housing-  This is why this customer was shipped ahead of some of you that were before him.

Speaking from experience, blems (outside the realm of this tube is fucked, sized blems) completely disappear in real world use. Do some running and gunning with them and you’ll see what I mean.

Yeah, the 14's we had in the Army (line Infantry) were probably more blem than clean tube after years of being passed around and abused . Still got the job done.
