Dead on arrival

ATN NVM14-2W Night Vision Monocular
Orderd this unit on Christmas…. It was dead on arrival. Tube will not power up. After a 1.5 second press the tube should be on and after an additional 2 second press the IR transmitter should activate. The tube never activates yet the IR does which is proven by a solid red bar.
The fact that the IR activates is proof this is not a battery issue, it is internal.
The unit takes a 123A battery, however it arrived with a AA battery in the package and no battery adapter or anything else to explain this discrepancy … obviously this is not an indication of good QC.
I will be forced to contact ATN because optics planet will not allow returns on this item.
I really don't want to waste my time on this unit….but now I have no choice
Save your money and get a real PVS 14….. I took a chance and got bit.

OpticsPlanet Exclusive Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x44mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)
These Scopes are a good buy. I was actually very happy to learn that Optics Planet had these older models in stock.
I prefer these older scopes due to their slimmer footprint which just feels more handy for hunting and general field rifles.
The turrets track repeatably and the quality of glass is superb for general use. The MOA reticle is awesome as well. Just keep I’m mind this is a second focal plane.
I use the newer and higher end models on my bench guns but to me, they feel a bit to big for a general duty or hunting rifle.
This is a good buy.
