So I've been wanting to get into the NV game for a while. I wound up purchasing a DBAL i2 at a great price I couldn't pass up. I originally wanted a green vis laser, however for the price, red will do just fine. So this is my first purchase and step towards a night vision set up. I plan on eventually getting a PVS14.
Anyway, I had a few questions for yall with DBALs. How well does their throw mount retain zero when taken off and put back on? I see people mount them all the way to the FSB. I understand why, however do you re-zero every time you change the battery? Or does the mount retain it well enough? Also I've read a bit about the battery drain. Is this still an issue? The one I bought is a 2014 manufacture. How long are batteries lasting you guys?
Thanks for any information and insight yall can give me. Thanks!
