Anyways, there seems to be a store in North York that carry this product.

But how does this scope compare vs the other stuff under the $1500 price mark?

Save the money, get Gen3 later..
Go to some 24hr / night games and ask people to check out their Gen3s.. difference is huge..
After seing Gen 3 I knew I couldnt settle for anything lower.

In terms of airsoft engagement distances and frequency of actually going to night games, are Gen 3s really worth it?

I don't have any real steel, so I lose the excuse of "well, its not just airsoft" lol.

Unless you are doing CQB, YES... Especially when there is no moon. But even then, it will be hard to ID the target with Gen1, with Gen3 its almsot like day time..

And as rxp pointed out, you cant hunt at night anyways..

I do. I meant Gen1 in CQB is not as bad as Gen1 in the bush..

Chances are
AN/PVS-2
NSPU 1PN34
Zeiss Orion 80/1 Ferro Z51

3 of the most common surplus military cascade scopes.

Thanks, will be looking to see if I can find any of those. Gen 3s are too pricey, maybe save up for gen 3 goggles later.

get gen 3 or sit in the corner and wait for me to shoot you in cqb

So, I was checking out this page here:
http://tnvc.com/shop/m845-mk-4-2-5x-...red-dot-sight/

Then I noticed at the bottom it says: "Also, it illegal to allow a non-US Citizen to look through US Gen3 Night Vision Devices, even on US soil. Again, this is a crime punishable by fines and prison sentences."

So all you guys either have US citizenships or are running devices from other nations?

Who is going to enforce it......

A bunch of us bought some Challenger gen 1+ units at the start of the season. 3/5 went out and bought pvs 14's.

Challengers work great with lots of light indoors etc. Outside in the woods you can't see shit though unless you have lots of IR light.

Even with a supermoon at Shallow Lake 1 I could hardly see anything.

With the challenger unit you can use a rhino/J arm. For 250-300$ you can't beat being able to see at night.

You can ask anyone on the Russian team at OP Rhino 2. During the night I was watching American troop movement with my NSPU. Not bad for budget NV.
