This has been on before, but what is the cost for a good scope, if a guy is going to spend money, might as well get a good one, not the price the government spend on Military ones, just a good one
honestly save your money for a thermal. Unless you spend huge money on a NV optic, it's less than useless in ND right now. ND Legalized the optics, but didn't legalize the illuminators that are necessary for most of the more affordable NV units out there. There is some stuff in the works with the legislature to get a change to the ND Century Code for legalization of the IR Illuminators to make these more affordable NV units useful.
