Makes for a great stand sniper rifle as it shoots less than 1/2 MOA day in and now day out!
The NV view through the scope is actually much much better than my crummy photos show.
I need to get another PVS-14 from Vic so I can use my helmet for situational awareness while using the scope mount, or another IR laser.....
what "power" was your scope set on in the image? I was getting ready to buy an Eotech EXPS3-0 with the idea that I would buy a NV kit to work with it. I would really prefer to buy the pending SWFA 1-8X scope and use with an adapter as you have shown in your picture. Can you take the NV monocular off in the field and put it on in the field no problemo? Another issue that worries is that with a traditional rifles scope with a 24 mm objective set at 8X even in bright light you have a 3 mm exit pupil. I have a Minox 3-9 x 42 and as the sun sets this scope when looking into a dark forest shaded area gets dimmer as you crank the power up, maybe its this scope but its noticeable.
