I've had the X-Sight II HD 5-20x on order since March 16th - don't know when they'll get my shipment in (Optics Planet).
I've been waiting for technology to bring NV prices / features to a reasonable level.
Did quite a bit of research before taking the plunge - not many folks have their hands on them - all the videos I could find for the new models are from Europe and Austrailia. Seems those folks have been big into NV for quite a while, as they've been using NV for years to eliminate pests & predators.
All reports seem to be good - many problems with the current models have been eliminated with software updates, and all the reviews I could find from folks in Europe seem to give it a thumbs up.
I started a
thread in here a while back looking for info on good IR lights.
I've now got everything I need except the darn scope. When I ordered they said expected delivery in 2 to 9 days, but it's now been over 5 weeks.
I see they show expected delivery for new orders is now 4 to 11 days (went back up to 22 to 29 days right after I ordered mine).
I got the ATN IR850 Pro Illuminator (it's a rebadged Night Master) and a replacement drop in pill from the UK.
Here's just one of many videos covering the scope.

Note that the one in the video may be model 1.5? It looks like his front focus is a ring - the
ones shown at ATN's site have a front focus turret instead of a ring. The ring was a bit cumbersome to reach if you have an IR Illuminator attached to the scope, so one of the improvements they made was a focusing turret on the front for ease of use.
I just got my 2nd Savage MK II FV-SR ($25 rebates on them) and installed a Boyd's Pro Varmint Hunter stock with a bipod. The ATN sight is going on it - going to make it my night varmint gun.
