IMO if you got your hands on a FLIR M-24, you might like it more, half the price of the AN/PAS-23, only 30Hz refresh rate, but much better resolution, and about half the size too lol

I played around with it at Shot Show, and the square boxy contours, poor eye relief and 30hz lag infested refresh rate killed it for me. The other thing that really bugged me was the inability to change the focal range, everything up close, and far off in the distance was completely blurry and could not be adjusted. Not sure why they did that. My hats off to FLIR for trying to build a Mil/LE device, but they keep falling short of getting those ground forces defense contracts.
I eventually would like to check out Bae's Oasys skeetir.
