New Night Vision AR15 Configuration Paired With TNVC PVS-14, Aimpoint PRO, & American Defense Mount

A recent hog hunting trip revealed that my IR aiming solution for use with night vision was far from ideal and had some glaring shortcomings.
This video explains how I relocated the Steiner DBAL-D2, and added an Aimpoint PRO in an American Defense Manufacturing AD-68-NV-STD mount to have a passive aiming option that doesn’t require active use of IR and makes holding the rifle a far more comfortable and natural endeavor.
I will still be using the Trijicon AccuPoint 1-4x in the LaRue LT-104 mount for shooting during daylight most of the time as I am confident in its return-to-zero capability. The new mount for the Aimpoint is also supposed to return to zero as well, although I will test to confirm this.

Aimpoint PRO is a great overall red dot especially with that tall mount. A little heavier than the micros, but 30mm tube has a great field of view.

To me it just hits a sweet spot in field of view, battery life, and price.
Certain things have better field of view, but bad battery life. Others are lighter, but less field of view. Others, again, will have more common batteries but are heavy and expensive.
It’s pretty good at being what it is- an economical high quality red dot sight with good battery life.

Wow great commentary

Thanks. Of course nothing is ever perfect, so it’s a continuous process of trial and error. Always looking to make things more ergonomic and streamlined. This change made a huge difference.

@@brandonholliday7927A friend has some property a few hours away and he was kind enough to invite me along on one of his hunts.
