I used a third generation weaponsight a little . It was amazing what it would pick up with just the stars , The flashing red light from the radio tower down the road casts shadows while it flashes . I saw the glow of the coals of a fire a couple hundred yards out , what was amazing was it was reflected off the leaves of the trees nearby

"Inexpensive" will usually get you a Gen1 intensifyer tube. You won't be happy with the results.

At the least, save your pennies for a Gen2 tube or your dimes for a Gen3 unit. The sight picture will be greatly improved, especially the depth perception.

jvm, might want to check with Chris at Precision Arms in IL. Super nice guy to work with. He'll take good care of you. He's a great source for surplus ammo, ar15 mags and mags for a whole lot of stuff. Click on one of his items from the link below and drop him a note or some have his phone number. If he don't answer be sure to leave a message, he WILL call you back. He don't list all that he sells. Just tell what you want and he'll help. Just a thought. Take care..Mike......
