Very nice.  Haven't seen one of those in a while.  I'm gonna assume it works.  Lots of critters are nocturnal.

Great looking rifle. How heavy are those night vision rigs?

HEAVY!

I had the opportunity to help try one out and troubleshoot it, and after five minutes on a rifle decided no amount of cool was worth the offset, awkward weight!  I think they are 8 lbs, but the offset makes it feel a lot heavier.

I like it a lot... I'd love to see how it feels to shoot.  Very cool.

Question: How does the rifle have a NoDak receiver, a flash suppressor, and a bayonet lug in New York? Is there some kind of loop hole you can go through?

Nice!  I've been wanting to build one with a PVS-2, but I guess if I had the bucks I'd get my PVS-14 purged and filled first...
