| Looking to get a 45 offset or 12:00 in conjunction with a NX8 used for passive NV. It's on a scalarworks 1.93 mount so I got the option to piggyback or get the 45 kick off to the right. Im thinking I want a 45 to the right, but im sure I can try one mount then go the other way.... Anywho... This will be used with a single pvs14. would like to keep it 2032 battery. whats the new hotness these days for that? |

RMR if you're a baller, otherwise Holosun works ok. Get the 12 o'clock mount. It's more natural than twisting your rifle around and having to work out drops on a weird angle. |

Nah you aren’t going to want an offset, even with a 1.93. Pretty hard to use no Matter which eye you have the PVS14 on Piggyback is the way. Not all “night vision settings “ are created equal. I’d stick with Aimpoint T-2 or acro or a Trijicon RMR variant |

I have a few Eotechs and I prefer the AEMS. It's very clear, has killer battery life, shake awake (my EXP3s are 3 or so years old and don't have that) and clear glass. For passive under NODs, it's my favorite of all my optics. Too bad it's Chinesium. |

I use a T2 with a single RVM-14. I prefer cheek weld over floating so 45° @1.93" is what I use. Still an NV noob but it works on my SPRish build.  Wildcat 3/5 Night Shoot  |

Anyway, RMRs and RMR-HDs are great passive, and disappear under NODs unlike the P2 and T2. |

Sorry, "RMHD2". https://www.eurooptic.com/trijicon-rmr-hd-type-3-325-55-moa-red-adj-led-reflex-sight-rmhd2-c-3200002?srsltid=AfmBOop953wPhA1GlJXcj73pXPQjQqzYrvPyHoAGgEuZmfQ5iMM5YcCj And yes, it has poor focus. If you set the nvd to "infinity" the center dot turns to a smear. If you set the dot crisp, everything else is a slight blur. Yes, its too bright. On the dimmest setting it produces a soft 20moa or so halo around the dot if you set it as a single dot, or the whole area is washed out with the circle-dot setting. I shoot stuff in the dark dark, not in well lit run n gun stages on the edges of suburbia. If you are shooting down main street under sodium lights, sure, it's great. Once you try to use it in the dark under some good tubes though, the halo is annoying and washes out smaller targets. The best I can describe it is that optics like the P2 and DPP-NV have 1 setting lower than the RMR family. So imagine a P2 that won't go below its next dimmest NV setting, and thats an RMR product. The housing is wonderful under nvds though. All but disappears. Then, so does the DPP-NV, and its much better, albeit much less durable. Annoying. |

I have 4 RMR-HDs and none of them have these issues, they get plenty dim and the dot looks plenty crisp. I have great tubes, and have shot them in nearly all lighting conditions to include where I normally shoot, which is backwoods Mississippi with zero light pollution, or totally blacked out shoot houses. I shoot almost exclusively passively so they get used often. Ive used a ton of different RDS passively and the RMR-HD has been by far my favorite. |

All I can say is what I observe. |
