Agreed, I'm a pulsar man through and through, and I've owned and used a hell of a lot of Nv units over the years. I also hate those bloody screen type things, like mac, I've spent too long looking through a scope to now sit and watch a screen, and I never liked how your face is illuminated with them, my mate stands out from a field away when using his !
