    Night Vision Anyone have a KAC Hi Rise mount I can borrow?

    Which mount specifically are you using currently? I'm talking about putting your current mount on top of a riser, not switching mounts to the riser mount. Jason Falla's optic setup prior to the Skyscraper mount--KAC Micro mount on a 3/4" riser: High rise optics have been in use for quite...

    Night Vision Anyone have a KAC Hi Rise mount I can borrow?

    You're stuck on old paradigms. Passive use of RDS through head mounted NV has been a TTP for quite some time now for many of the exact reasons you are now thinking of trying it to the point that it is now the preferred method for some professional users. If you want to try it as a "proof of...

    Night Vision DT vs ST

    I am not a scientist nor a medical doctor, so I'm not going to speak to the semantics of different "types" of "depth perception," however: Under most circumstances, I would recommend keeping your NVDs, single or dual, focused to infinity. Range specific adjustments can make sense in some...

    Night Vision DT vs ST

    What is vision other than perception? PVS-7s and other biocular devices "trick" you because you're seeing the same image. That slight offset is exactly what creates depth perception. Whether or not you're conscious of it (it's not unless you have abnormal sensory function), your brain...

    Night Vision IR laser with illuminator Worth It Or Not?

    At 450m, you will most likely be more limited by your ability to positively ID your target through the PVS-14 than by the performance of the illuminator or by the reach of the aiming laser. While an extremely versatile piece of equipment, the PVS-14 is not really designed for long range...

    Night Vision weapon mounted flashlight/laser question

    Are you asking about an IR aiming laser? Or a visible laser? Generally speaking, visible lasers are a poor choice for long gun applications save for a very few professional circumstances, under almost all of which, you will most likely have a multi-function laser aiming module (like the ATPIAL...

    Night Vision DT vs ST

    BLUF: If I were starting over today and knowing what I know now, if I could afford it, I would start with white phosphor duals. Now the much, much longer version, hahaha. Lots of good points brought up in this thread so far that I’m going to try to address, starting, obviously, with the...

    Night Vision How many use reticle illumination with clip-ons?

    At around 4x for multiple, moving targets, I personally like having some illumination. This could be a function of having had some of my first clip-on experiences in front of a TA31-series ACOG, where illumination is not so much an option but a simple hardware function, but even with other...

    Night Vision Buying unknown pvs-14

    Among the things that I would check with a used PVS-14 would be to make sure that there was no significant damage to the lenses, that both objective and diopter focus had their full range of motion and rotated and functioned smoothly. I would make sure all of the functions worked properly...

    Night Vision MAWL C-1+ Warranty Only One Year- WTF?

    The MAWL-C1+ absolutely outclasses other Class I options out there, and some would argue that it even outclasses many IIIb Restricted units, at least for illumination, though you will obviously lack the high powered aiming laser setting. As for warranty... let me put it this way, stated...

    Night Vision IR Illuminator Mounts

    benzy2, again, I never disagreed with you, I am actively agreeing with you--your suggestion is a good one, and the OP should try it. I may have gotten fixated on the fact that the OP asked for mounting recommendations, and approached the issue of mounting hardware a little more strongly that is...

    Night Vision IR Illuminator Mounts

    benzy2, I’m not going to continue to argue with you because I’m not really sure where I disagreed with you in the first place. Your suggestion to try rotating the light in the mount is a good one that I never disagreed with. Not sure why you seem dead set on manufacturing an argument because I...

    Night Vision IR Illuminator Mounts

    Over distance, the offset can matter, I acknowledged that it would probably require some trial and error to get it to work as desired, but a small difference in the offset can magnify itself over distance, any closer you can get the thing might help. If it is, as you say, a luck/tolerance issue...

    Night Vision IR Illuminator Mounts

    Unfortunately I do not have that exact configuration on-hand to test, but again, I would try to find an offset mount that will place the Torch closer to the centerline of the PVS-30. Something like one of the Unity Tactical or Haley Strategic cantilevered mounts might also help. Finally, while...

    Night Vision If you cant afford a pvs 14?

    @verdugo60 Please shoot me a PM, and we can discuss what might make the best sense for you! A higher mount is not necessary for all users, but most users find that it makes the use of passive aiming techniques far easier. Usually a minimum of 1.93", preferably 2"-2.5" from the top rail to the...

    Night Vision IR Illuminator Mounts

    Mounting it offset in something like a VTAC or one of the many other offset mounts will probably help to get it closer to the centerline and the sight line of the scope, either at the 11 o'clock or 1 o'clock should get it in pretty tight to the scope and the rail. ~Augee
