    Night Vision Luna Optics SPRS4X - Night Vision Rifle Scope (NEW)

    My understanding is that ITT and L3 are the only US tube manufacturers. Maybe my Google fu is not so keen, but I am not finding any info on this ICT manufacturer to which you allude? Please provide further clarification. Thanks.

    Night Vision Pvs14 adapter for day scope?

    The "target being painted white helped a lot" statement alone indicates that you don't shoot in the dark very much. The rest is hyper-outstanding as well. 1000y, new moon, clouds, 20x mag, and a PVS-14.....please, do you really believe that we are all idiots?

    Night Vision NV hunting...IR laser question

    Helmet mounted monocular with a weapon mounted laser provides nav capability without muzzle sweeping. In a static situation it also provides more flexible mounting of the weapon system to one's body and arguably quicker target acquisition. The effective range is pretty much the same either...

    Night Vision Mod Armorys 308 pvs-14rc

    I'll give y'all a shout after looking at schedule. Should I ask for Jason? Typically, new moon or waning last quarter is best to have things be dark. No sense in night shooting during a new moon, since one can see plenty well with night adjusted eyes.

    Camille, I really like the fact that you present yourself as a real person instead of a nameless, faceless internet persona. As I am not employed by the firearms industry professionally, I am simply John, but I do use the same screename on all of the firearms and 4WD forums to which I am a...

    Frank, maybe my initial post on this thread was a bit "bull in a China cabinet", but Pete knows me so I thought that it might have been better received. I don't feel "entitled" to any information, but to be perfectly candid was a bit surprised with the hold-close-to-ones-chest mentality of...

    Good morning gentlemen. Frank, if I may refer to you by your given name for clarity sake, since you are the owner of this site you can easily track my posting history. While I may or may not have known you were the owner at some point in the past, it has been quite some time since I have...

    Night Vision Mod Armorys 308 pvs-14rc

    At least the third word of your post seems accurate. There is a bunch of qualitative hype, but not much quantitative substance. Yes, I have been trained to be skeptical...trust but verify. There just doesn't seem to be much independent verification here to support the glamorous claims...

    "Frank Outlaw" is listed at the bottom of your post, so it seems reasonable to assume that is you given name. Mine is John, and it is a pleasure to "meet" you. Many of the folks with which correspondence occurs online have actual faces to go with screenames, although I don't believe that the...

    Frank, do you have a commercial interest in Sniper's Hide? If so, I will temper my responses and regard your posts accordingly. Thanks, John

    Excellent, now we have some tangible facts to discuss. I am in the process of making dinner for our household just now, but will most definitely be getting back to this thread when time soon permits. Thanks, J.

    Night Vision Mod Armorys 308 pvs-14rc

    Yeah, but isn't the LT thing simply an actuarial hedge using existing technology and betting money upon the anticipated failure rate versus time? For the PVS-14RC, "evolutionary" improvement is claimed, but there is no tangible evidence of any difference, just folks claiming that they are shit...

    Thank you for the glittering generalities. You mention patent in each of your posts; what is the 7-digit number? Most folks with cool shit love getting the word out. Or did you really mean to type patent pending or patent applied for?

    Night Vision Mod Armorys 308 pvs-14rc

    Pete, this is a most interesting development, and I am genuinely interested in learning more. As you know from our past correspondence, I have been an engineer for 25 years or so, but have only been using NV for the past 7-8 years. I am not reading any details of what differentiates these...

    A-bolt magazines interchangeability?

    Re: A-bolt magazines interchangeability? Thanks, I figured they would work just fine even though the manufacturer lists different part #'s for each specific cartridge.

    A-bolt magazines interchangeability?

    I realize that A-bolts are not particularly popular around here, but I was wondering if anyone has ever tried using 7mm-08 magazines in a .308? Thanks.
