The reason I thought some might think me crazy is, the combination units ATPIAL, DBAL's etc seem to be all the rage. My use will be varmint hunting. Not combat, self defense LE, covert missions. I need to be able to shoot relatively small critters at 25-150 yds. Too large an aiming dot and too much bloom at close ranges are my big problems, hence my interest in a unit I can buy or make a ND filter for and I absolutely was a vis laser to aid in sighting in during the day. If I am going to give up the viz laser for daytime sighting, I will just get a green UNI IR for $150 an struggle sighting that in. Without getting into a pissing match about what animals see, IR light vs. the IR source, I want an illuminator with swappable LED pills or a rheostatically controlled one. The TNVC looks better built, but a rheostatically controlled T20 would be nice too, like this one: https://www.hightechredneckincorporated.com/High-Tech-Red-Neck-T-20-Infinity-IR-Device-p/nva3165.htm
