I’m thinking maybe I should snag a pvs30 refurb while I can at half price of new before they are gone.
Already have a pvs22 purchased a couple years ago and the size and weight are great. But It gets fuzzy quick adding magnification with Nightforce 3.5-15x50. Seldom go over 6 power. 8 tops shooting hogs out to 300 yards. Farther out I want more mag but the image is grainy and harder to aim. Full moon or Torch Pro II helps but to date farthest I’ve taken it on 15 inch steel targets is 500 yards at 15 power but it wasn’t to great in my opinion.
9 power was still good at that distance just would like more and a better image.
I’ve wanted to try a pvs-27 just to have the best available but I’ll never be that rich again most likely.
Would the pvs-30 be a big gain over the -22 and close enough to the -27 to not worry about max mag. and range. I’d like to have an honest good image up to 15x if that’s possible.
On some of the bigger fields one can glass well past half a mile. 1 mile and further in some places so spending more for capability is not money wasted per say.
The refurbs seem like to good of a deal to pass up even though I have a clip on already and could use a pvs-14 helmet mount. But I could snag those anytime anywhere. Just thinking maybe I should get a refurb while the gettin’s good. Never hurts to have a back up unit.
So if anybody wants to jump into my shoes and offer their opinion let’s hear it.
