cmatera & 6mm06, I am very happy you are getting value from your ATN units.

As Prostaff for Night Goggles, I have access to many different brands. Hopefully it says something when I have sold all my other thermals and plan to be using Bering Optics for scanner and scope this hunting season. I have probably somewhere around 500+ hours now using Bering Optics products without one hiccup, reboot, or anything. It is the only digital/thermal device that I have used for any extended period of time that I can say that about. In addition, customer feedback has been very good so far on the Bering Optics thermals Night Goggles has sold.
My Bering Optics comment doesn't help with the OP asking about digital NV but just wanted to respond to what should I get if not Pulsar or Trjicon.

This a fact whether dealing with automobiles, tvs, or hunting equipment. It comes down to what is the frequency or likelihood of the occurrences and what does the company do about it if it happens. This combination is the reason why very few dealers carry ATN.
