I recently picked up a night vision monocular from Big 5. It is a famous trails monocular with IR capabilities. It's no PVS 14's but still pretty good considering the price. It was 179 on sale until sunday, regularly $400. Thought I would share that since I thought it was a pretty good deal.
I have already used it at work and think they work pretty good.
I need to pick one of those up. Something is better than nothing but I do have something.
