    Night Vision G11 and a Torch or G24

    Here is a table comparing the features of the various common mounts. Selecting one is highly individualized, and only you can determine what is best for you. While the Torch Pro is a most excellent extended range IR illuminator, it seems as though a Surefire M1-IR would be better suited to...

    Night Vision Bimbo's & Rifles!

    A little eye candy isn't necessarily a bad thing when appropriate, but is difficult to take the company and products seriously when the marketing is so profoundly juvenile.

    Night Vision New AN/PVS-12A Aquila 6X Gen3 Weapon Scopes now available for a special price here at TNVC

    Looks like you gave a few critters dirt naps. I'd like to check out the device the next time that we get together.

    Night Vision Finally: Gen3 M845 Night Vision Rifle Scopes are Available!

    Looking forward to your feedback Tom, as I am also considering a G3 M845 to augment my 740 Pinnacle.

    Night Vision Mod Armorys 308 pvs-14rc

    Pete, It was Jason who brought up this whole concept of "minions" [which you also mention three times in your post], and I don't really know WTF that is all about? You used to be a really good guy to visit with about the details of tech stuff, but something seems to have changed? I am not at...

    Night Vision Pvs 14 on a day scope shooting 1000yrds. Videos!

    I have something called Ballistic AE that was recommended by a friend, but really haven't had much chance to play with it...or shoot for that matter. The only time that I have shot during the day in the past probably two years was this last Saturday. Otherwise, it has been exclusively at night...

    Night Vision Pvs 14 on a day scope shooting 1000yrds. Videos!

    I am a bit older and also from the South, so the terms sir and ma'am are used on a regular basis; your politeness is well regarded. Those specs are all in the range of "standard" 7.62x51 handloads. I guess that I was under the impression that you were running something "trick" like 6.5-284 or...

    Night Vision Pvs 14 on a day scope shooting 1000yrds. Videos!

    Surgeon, Thanks for your posting. I am counting between 4-4.5 seconds between click and return impact sound reception from your vid. Using round numbers.....at 3000 FPS MV and 1000y, that is 1 second projectile time to target. At nominal 1000 FPS sound velocity on the return for easy math...

    Night Vision Pvs14 adapter for day scope?

    Jason, Alec Baldwin....ouch, that really hurts. Whenever that SoB comes on the TV, I promptly change the channel. I guess that I deserve it though after the Obama reference. As far as that being my last post here, it relates to the reputation that this forum has for being "ban happy" with...

    Night Vision Pvs14 adapter for day scope?

    "Minion"...give me a fucking break you self-righteous jerk! Unlike you, I have a well paying career outside of the firearms industry, and have no affiliation with any manufacturer, distributer, or dealer....I just like cool stuff, and don't take any blind promises for granted. Challenge was...

    Night Vision So..what technique do you use to do your night shooting?

    This is essentially the method that seems most effective, except that I run a D-740 versus a clip-on since the range has been shortened. The wider FoV and lighter weight seem beneficial when the sounder explodes in all directions after the first suppressed volley. Environment/terrain...

    Night Vision Pvs 14 on a day scope shooting 1000yrds. Videos!

    Very interesting. Do you mind sharing generally whereabouts in LA? It has nothing to do with the shot, but both my wife and I have lived within about 12 miles of the I-10 corridor between the Pearl and the Sabine for nearly 70 years combined....NO, BR, Broussard, Abbevile, LC.... before moving...

    Night Vision Pvs14 adapter for day scope?

    Sunset is coming ever earlier now that we are a couple months past the solstice. The heat should be diminishing a bit as well in another 6-8 weeks. It is so much more pleasurable shooting in the fall than the summer.

    Night Vision Got to say,... " Phoenix Jr. IR "

    I use Guardians in similar fashion; handy little bits to have with one out at night.

    Night Vision Pvs14 adapter for day scope?

    Phil, the creativeness of the stock extension on your ACS is impressive; you never disappoint! Bummer that we couldn't get together yesterday for transfer of the suppressor pouch that I left out at IZ last shoot; please continue to hold on to it for me. Oh well, my bad for not phoning up in...

    Night Vision Pvs14 adapter for day scope?

    Pete, I agree that a PVS-14 on a good spotting scope with a real deal MonoLoc can work quite well. Jay, now that some more details are being presented regarding the "miracle" shot, it becomes more plausible. Unfortunately, it took some asshole like me calling BS to elicit said details. As far...

    Night Vision Pvs14 adapter for day scope?

    Killswitch, you get it. Less lenses is critically important with low ambient light performance. Good lenses is arguably even more important, and that means "fast" ones [low f/], i.e. typically catadioptric and the larger the better with top shelf coatings. The PVS-14 is a most wonderful...

    Night Vision Pvs14 adapter for day scope?

    Excellent reply Killswitch! You seem to be one of the few willing to get into the meat of the matter. By my math, an IPSC at 1000y is approximately 2.8 MOA tall x 1.7 MOA wide. Not at all an easy shot at that range during the day, much less at night, but not inconceivable with a dialed in...

    Night Vision Pvs14 adapter for day scope?

    RobertB makes outstanding claims with the quote, "behind the S&B on a Surgeon". Surgeon subsequently quotes, "Robert that must have been a bad ass rifle you were using to do that with! Lol" The inference is that Surgeon builds rifles, particularly the one that Robert claims to have made the...
