Can anyone post pictures of your rifles set up for night vision. I want to set up my rifle with a USNV-14 in conjunction with a revolving setup of an Aimpoint M2 on a GG&G cantilever and a ACOG TAO1NSN. Does anyone have anything similar to this setup and is there any reason that this would not work. My plan is to switch between the magnified optics and the "hot dot". I would like to see peoples setups to see what everyone is running these days.

You can't place the ACOG in front of the NV optic for several reasons, one of which is that you'll burn in the reticule into the NV gear. Plus, your NV really needs to be head-mounted so you can actually SEE when you're walking around. It is neither easy nor safe to walk around in the dark trying to use your rifle's optics to navigate.
For aiming your rifle, you are best off with a laser. A standard visible laser will work, and there are IR lasers available. This gives you a setup that works great with head-mounted NV. You'll notice that actual pics from Iraq and Afghanistan nearly always show a laser used in conjunction with head-mounted NV, and rarely if ever do you see NV mounted on the rifle. -Troy |

I've always read that about the ACOG's as well. However in the Trijicon manual that accompanies the NSN model it states
"The center area of the crosshair pattern is illuminated in low light or complete darkness. It glows amber at night from the power of a t ritium lamp that lasts for at least ten years before replacement is needed. This amber illumination is compatible with night vision devices. It will not "burn" the tubes because the amber glow is beyond the infrared wavelengths at which the night vision devices are oversensitive." Still, when I use the PVS 14 with the ACOG I place it in front of it. I've tried it the other way and the bloom effect is still there at least somewhat. |

Can't help with the ACOG setup, but I love it with the amipoint.
For the aimpoint, I used the ARMS M68 mount on the Hump of the KAC RAS II For the PVS14, I have the PRI PVS14 mount, slightly modified to work with a KAC 300m rear sight(smallest rear sight I could find) http://www.hunt101.com/img/150679.jpg http://www.hunt101.com/img/150680-big.jpg |

Like JimCrowell I too run the KAC 300 meter BUIS.
This is an old picture of mine, not exactly in the same config anymore but it does show you the PVS 14 with an ACOG

The configuration doesn't do bad. Though clarity isn't quite as good as when you look directly through the PVS. To me it kind of feels like degenarating a generation. |
