JMich3 152 Posted August 4, 2018 I’ve seen a lot of pics and videos of ARs with something mounting at the end of the floating rail on top. It looks like it’s something electronic maybe. Curious what it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's pretty hard to catch a flying pheasant without a shotgun. Yes I know some Robin hoods can do it with a bow but not me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checko 180 Posted August 4, 2018 I didn’t even read into what they do to be honest. I’m damn sure at this point i don’t need oneIt's a laser that you can use with no/low light and night vision. Are you hunting at night with nods? NV compatible rds or rail mounted IR laser is probably standard equipment. Are you LEO/MIL that have been issues night optics? Same applies. Other than that if you got the money.....Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This has a sorely disappointing single scope, and while it does have 5 flashlights, I see no peq boxes, bipod, bayonet, grenade launcher, extra reflex sights, angled irons, or double mags. There is clearly room for more, and I am disappointed the original picture does not have more effort put into it, even with the poorly photoshopped additions. Of course, seeing how I don't own a majority of these things, it may be a while. How does one zero a night vision scope, anyway? Laser boresight? Or just lots of flicking a lightswitch and using a spotting scope? At least with inexpensive models, I know exposure to bright light can damage them, so you can't just go on an overcast day or to an indoor range (I think?).

I asked @High Exposurethis a few years ago. There’s a vid. You need special targets for IR and nods. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
