Gunner269, the reason behind the delay, if you want the honest answer is due to man power and time taken at QA.
Essentially digital night vision devices are assembled, packed and shipped, the Photon as it is a Digital Monocular mated to a traditional optical scope, needs to be calibrated by a human, before it can be shipped.
So essentially every Photon made has to go through calibration, and given the huge demand on ALL Pulsar products this means lead times are inevitably increased.
We are due a batch of 100 very soon, which should clear a huge majority of back orders, although at present every second call is a Photon order......
