    Gun City XR5 Night Vision goggles

    Was just looking at the Gun City webb page and they have a set of ATN XR5 milspec Night vision goggles for $2999.00. Considering they were selling these for $19`999 last time I looked and usually $21`999 either they have stuffed up the price or someone is in for the deal of a lifetime.

    Hell if I was looking for a set I`d grab it , Or at least enjoy them trying to explain their way out of not selling at a advertiesd sale price item.

    or possibly they are just making 100% profit instead of their usual 5,000%

    Yep last XR5 I imported for a guy up north was $14`500 inc gst from memory. About $13`000 now with the Dollar. Hell of expensive though it was a very nice tube when it arrived. Some of the Gen2+ SHP tubes are XR5 but with say a tiny flyspot so sold as Gen2+ for around $6000. My son has one thats about perfect but for 1 tiny flyspot.

    Had a play with the latest PULSAR N750 Digisight rifle scope at the fieldays. very cool gear. 600m at night. $3000. works in daylight to. I was told better than gen3 because it is digital. but i'm new to night vision so don't understand that as yet.

    yes, I seen them too, digital seems like the way to go unless you have thermal dollars.
    are his prices the best around?
    anyone own any of them?

    really?
    it looked ok during the day, I asked if its the same during the night. he said yes but a bit more grainy.

    I don't believe everything a sales person says, you are the first non-bias opinion.
    have you got any more to add?

    As far as I've seen, heard, and read, digital compares with gen 1, which is basically worthless
