How have people found mounting to a rifle/using? How do you sight it in and also do you use a IR illuminator?
Haven't had the time to play around with mine lately. Have two partially made DIY builds. Other one is made frome like 1/3 of a PVS 4. I would like to rebuild it into a full PVS4 unit if I can find a front lense and ocular for a sub orbital price.
Any how I mounted it to a 1022 and used a cheap trademe laser for aiming, dimmed down with floppy disk film. Was able to hit a 6" plate at 75m in partial moonlight.
The old PVS-2 units these tubes came from had a eclan type mount so when you adjusted it the whole scope swung left , right or up , down. Mount the IR illuminator to either the scope body or the rifle. Best back from the front of the scope or under the rifle where light won`t reflect back into the scope from off the rifle.
Where's the best place to buy a decent ir illuminator
Ebay or trademe: The Ultrafire 501b IR is one of the best I have come accross and I include them in with Goggle and mono purchases.
Light up about 350mts with Gen3 but I don`t know how they would preform with gen 1 as the Gen1 is less IR sensitive. Thats why they used to use spotlights and IR filters on Tanks or rifles.
Check this Guy out his IR are amazing he ships to US etc https://www.facebook.com/Ir.light.builds?fref=ts
