That's a decent scope, and I've been hearing good things about the Gen 2 DEP tubes that USNV is using too. Another good Gen 2 choice is the military PVS 4, they are well built, good optics, and parts are pretty well available for them. A good used one can be found for $800-1200. If the Gen 3 tubes for those ever get to be available enough that the price on them comes down, it would be a real nice upgrade. PM me if you need more specifics, michauxii, I'll see what else I can come up with. And welcome to the PM board!
