I'm currently using a AKA2 mount. I like it for the Night Cap, but with my TW I prefer a FTO. I'm currently looking at the Norotos LowSto hypwr and the INVG. Any other recommendations for a FTO mount for binos?

INVG's in my experience are not very good mounts to use with Bino's. They are awesome for mono's though! FWIW

I personally like Wilcox mounts due to how close they sit to the helmet with binos. The LowSto looks rather interesting as its Norotos take on a Wilcox style mount.

How 'bout a Rhino II dovetail? Not too expensive, titanium, FTO...

Speaking from complete inexperience...

Very partial to the G24 for Binos and without a doubt the INVG is the best for monos.

The G24 was also Tdunns recommendation. I still use a mono, so technically the new mount will be used for both. I realize the INVG won't work as intended with duals but it is FTO which I prefer. I'm going to spend a little more time with my AKA2 and see if we start getting along a little better. I'll confess I haven't spent much time with the AKA2 and in particular with duals so its not coming natural yet. The thought process I had with a FTO mount was a thoughtless process to get them stowed.

The Titanium/Dovetail conversation does look interesting. I'll eventually try it.

I'm using the INVG with dual PVS-14s. Obviously sucks that you lose the rotational benefits with binos, but if you're going to be switching between bino and mono I would stick with the INVG.
