If you want passive night performance, Eotech can't be beat. The large window, 9 NV settings, and excellent glass make Eotechs the best passive NV performer.
Omg. Yes. I have a Sig Saur red dot with two NV settings, and they're both bullshit. Neither shows up with a PVS14, although the lowest visible setting still works fine.
I bought mine because I like the holdovers. I hate having to guess with a red dot. Up close, sub 50 yards, I think a red dot is just fine. It will work! But it helps with the guess work for me. I hate the price tag though
And bulkier (which translates into heavier, if I recall correctly). I have one; not my favorite optic. Eats batteries like a fat girl after a breakup. #BonBons
