    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.

    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.
