thanks! best of luck finding one. they've been discontinued a few years. hard to beat for $500. but a $$$$$ raptar would be much more useful.
i only use it at night. i've found it doesn't really stay aligned, return to zero kinda sucks (which is why raptar would be better). it ranges very fast though and i love that it gives up to 3 distances.
but at night it doesn't need to stay aligned because you can see the beam through the NV so you just put it on the target and get your distance. distance is also much improved at night.
The CNVD was an abbreviation I never heard before and had to look it up. They are certainly cool but most cost around 10K. I did find one for 4K. At this point a night vision scope with a QD mount sounds more my speed. Even high end models for that are more than I want to spend. So, I will have to shop around, scope by scope, and get reviews if I go into this.
If you’re serious about a nv clip on look at the pvs30. Knights has dumped a ton of refurbs on the market. Nearly everyone is offering them around $6k
A good gen 3 mid to high spec'd pvs14 is really clear. I can easily see as far and about as clear as i can in day light. Now for areas in shadowy areas you will need a illuminator but i constantly run around at night on my property without an illuminator and its quite remarkable how much technology has changed. The gen 1 stuff that you probably bought is like a blind man and the newer gen3"+" is like 20-30 vision.
I can see further with mine, than I can HIT with it.

I can see far enough with my NVG’s where the “hits” happen with a surprise. Thankfully the cattle bumper held up last night. I feel sorry for the farmers three cows. They shouldn’t have been standing in the road while I was driving with no lights at 75 mph. But the cause was probably the message I was texting on my phone. Gen 1 is Phenomenal.
