Optics - AAArrrggg!!

Bullcoop · April 3, 2011, 05:40 PM

Ok I am not limited when it comes to budget, but I am fairly thrifty.

My question is this; Is it possible to run an EOTech w/3x magnifier AND a gen 1 NV site along 1 rail. If so what would be the best order to run them in. Obviously the magnifier would go before the holo site, but I would also like to incorporate NV.
Would it be better to run just a Trij ACOG w/ a NV scope? Should I put the Trij on a side flip mount?
Speaking of the side flip mounts any/all of these can incorporate one if that makes a difference.

I'm getting to where my mind is all cluttered up w/numbers, names, reticles, mounts et. al. and could use a fresh set of eyes (or a nap).
Any advice is great, but constructive advice is appreciated.

Depends on your NVD. If it requires eye relief then yes, you will have trouble. Either ditch your magnifyer and go with NVD and then your eotech or procure a long eye relief magnified optic.

You are going to have some serious issues fitting all 3 on. I'd suggest mounting your EOTech, and getting removable mounts for the magnifier and NV, and swapping them back and forth. It's going to be nearly impossible to have all 3 set up reliably.

They do have night vision gear that mounts in FRONT of the optic. It would be possible to run all three, but man that would be a big, heavy setup!!
