Love my AR 15 in .223 with the accupoint 3-9 .
Anyway, The 6.8 will be my pig gun and considering going with 2.5 -10 accupoint or maybe VX-6 in 2-12. The accupoint is great in low light, even under moonlight, but at night when I use a killlight the green dot washes out and the illumination is what draws my eye to the center. Right now , true night vision, thermal, etc is not in the budget so I'm limited with funds. Any thoughts, etc ? Eagle |

I have heard way too many issues with the ND3s to buy one...
I have a green LED light that will light up to 200 yards and the red dot in a VXR or VX6 doesn't get washed out

I have an ND3 and had an issue or 2.
First, the pressure pad is very poorly designed, mine failed pretty quickly. They sent a replacement, same design, same inherent weakness. I treat it a bit more gingerly than I wish I had to. Second, with the originals (like mine) they suck at low temsp, 35 or lower, output goes to hell, basically useless. I fixed this in 2 ways, both work well: keep the unit in a warm pocket till needed, then put it on and go (mine is on a LaRue QD mount), or put a hand-warmer on it. Both solved the problem, but it is still a problem. As for output, I like the ND3. It will spook pigs, especially at its tightest beam if you put the beam on the head. Another option is to illuminate a spot in front of the pigs for a few seconds and walk in the light, they seem to do better with that process than they do with a quick, bright light.
