Night Vision PVS 14 and IR for Night Hunting?

[EdithBratt]

Is this completely absurd or a possibility?? I was discussing the use of dedicated NV scopes with a stranger in a gun shop and he was suggesting PVS + IR was a preferred method. He claims to use a PVS 14 unit attached to a helmet mount and a Peq or equivalent on his AR. He has the IR laser dialed in and just puts that on hogs and lights them up. I have no experience hunting this way so questioning his methods. Any thoughts on this technique or does anyone else do this?

Night Vision - Zeroing laser's?

So when you zero your laser do you have it dead on at a given range and then hold left or right at other ranges or do you zero 3/4" to the left or right and not worry about holding left and right at different ranges? I figure that I cant hold 3/4" with my carbine shooting off hand anyway so...

Military's around the globe have been using weapon mounted lasers a long time, with great success.

That is one set up I use but now prefer to walk around with PVS-14 and shoot with thermal on the rifle.

OP asked if 14's + a laser could be viable for hunting, your very old post is a good example of it being viable with NV.
Do I need to explain further ?

It’s a direct copy-paste of his older post though. Very odd.

I use a green phosphor PVS14 and ATPIAL-C for hunting and it has worked fine for me so far shooting coyotes at night. If youre walking around its a good setup but ive considered a dedicated thermal for sitting in place

 

[Wilderness]

Lol. It’s my post from 3 weeks ago word for word. I’m the OP of OP’s buddy.

You need to read before you start throwing stones brother.

also, the op got banned cause it was probably spam or something. Boom.

Sure. Explain away. I’m listening.

When I click on the link in my reply brother, it goes to a Jan 13th, 2013 topic post from Capt Moroni.
What happens between me pasting a link and what the computer actually wants you to see is out of my hands.
Peace.

I figure that I cant hold 3/4" with my carbine shooting off hand anyway so close enough is close enough for coyotes and steel.

This is what comes up when I click on it, but since I live in NY, who knows if I can believe what they let me see on the computer ?

 

[Tchitcherine]

Um, @shoots100 I think they are talking about the OP aka post #1 -- not your reply with the link to Captain Moroni's post. Look at #1, and look at the link @Wilderness posted in his post #4. Compare the two and become enlightened. Cheers.

Assuming your using something like M193/855, or arent trying to hit shit at 600 yards or something:

- Check your 'normal' zero of your gun via your red dot

- Put PEQ15 or whatever on your weapon

- Put target at 50 yards

- Stick barrel against target and draw a circle around the bore. While keeping the bore in the circle, draw a circle where the laser projects from

- Sight in weapon where when the laser is in the laser circle, the bullet goes into the bore circle. Adjust only the laser at this point as needed.

- You're now sighted in

Your offset will be whatever the height/width distance from the laser to your bore is. So if the laser is 2 inches left and 1 inch up, you have to aim the laser on target 2 inches left and 1 inch higher than where you want the round to hit. You want to keep the bore and laser paralell, not convirging.
