Gunsmithing PVS22 offset from day optic

[crumpmd]

I bought an IMUM from Triad and installed it yesterday. The instructions from Badger were great and aside from .125" radius on the corners it is awesome. The barrel is floated. So I put my rifle back together and with low rings on my USO this is my offset. The centerline on the PVS22 is about 1.3" from the top of the rail. I must raise my scope 0.5" to get it in line with the NV. So I ordered extra tall Badger rings since they appear to be the close match. Anybody ever do this set up and if so what did you use for the scope rings? The PVS22 has a LaRue quick mount.

Have you tried putting the wrap around it and seeing how much light transmission you get? Granted, that amount of misalignment is pretty stout, but these units don't have to be lined up with your day optic, they are just light collectors.

No, I did not. Perhaps tonight.

Quick update. I got Badger high rings and it lines up very well. Test fire shows point of impact 0.2 mil low at 100m under the PVS22. Really pretty good at 8X but better at 6X and 4X. At higher magnification the resolution is poor. It looks like I can easily use this out to 500yrds on hogs with a 1/2 moon or better.

PRI makes a scope base specifically for the pvs 22. It has the offset built into it. I like it because I did not have to use higher rings to get the correct alignment. The lower I can keep my scope to the rifle the better, but that's just me.
