I bought a high-end PVS14 from RMR just before Christmas last year. Wore the "skull crusher" mount for 5 minutes one night, ordered a helmet the next day! I have used this for 45 min-1hr every night on my ranch since Christmas. RMR is a great place to do business with.
Mr Griswold is such a helpful guy. Took the time to speak with me by phone to help me with my order. Great company with great support. Unmatched service!!!!
If I may offer some knowledge, the way to zero an IR isn't for point of aim/point of impact, the way to do it is by constant offset, which means you zero the laser to the point of parallelism with the bore axis, that way at 50 yards your laser and bore axis don't converge and then diverge from that at a linear rate.
WIth most 223 rounds if you zero at 200 yards themost your projectile will hit high or low is about 2". I forget what Appleseed says(I could look at a ballistic calculator I guess) the near zero distance is for a 200 yard zero? Anyone have input on Mikes' method?
Aah, so you’d use a boresighter to then make the devices’ laser parallel. Seeing two dots instead of one (no convergence)? Forgive my ignorance, I’m a novice at best.
@@tittiger - Constant off-set makes a great deal of sense, unless perhaps for some specialized uses where a specific range is encountered frequently. Its sort of like accounting for mechanical offset in your sights over bore. You just learn to account for it. The 5.56/.223 cartridges, as a rule, shoot pretty flat. So, unless your specific sights or optic have a BDC requiring a special zero to work properly, you can select a good BSZ (battle-sight zero), also called maximum point-blank range by hunters. The carry-handle iron sights on an AR15/M16/M4 are designed for zeroing at a 25m near-zero/275m far-zero. Give or take, depending the ammo used. Out past that, you dial in your correction at 300m or farther, using the elevation wheel. For optics, however, you have greater latitude - and some personal choice/preference. For a red-dot or unmagnified reflex sight, many people prefer a 50 yard - 200 yard zero, while others like the 34-36 yard near zero. Or a simple 100 yd. or 100 meter zero (1 meter = 1.09 yards). That's if you are shooting supersonic ammo; sub-sonic is a whole 'nother ballgame.
@ Crashmaster Mike: Any input you are willing to share on what optical sights you favor with NVG use and why? Also how much eye-relief do you set it up with, and do you prefer to use the monocular on the off-side eye or the dominant eye looking through the sights? If you are running a DBAL or the like, how do you factor that into the mix? What I mean is that using one of those do you rely on your optic sights as much or more just on what the uv-visible laser is painting? Thanks!
I had purchased a pvs-30 fro ready made a few months ago. it had a terrible point of impact change when it was installed. about 3 inches to the three oclock at 60 yards. I called bob and explained the issue. he said three words. send it back. I had it for several months and expected a issue with it. I sent it to him on Wednesday, he got it on Friday. I had a new one on Monday. you cannot get any better service than that anywhere. and the new device works great. you wont have to worry about spending your money at ready made.
its a small IR light that lets you see without ambient light, like if youre in a hous with no light or a cavern or something where ambient light doesnt spill into
So, if you wear glasses, you can focus it to your eye without glasses...but your other eye is now blurred. So, you have to take your glasses off to use these?
If the people who wish to do you harm have night vision as well using your laser gives your position away. Mounting your nods to your helmet is certainly the way to go, but you should try to shoot while looking through your sight with the optic whenever able.
They sell a combo. Don't know if this is what you want: www.readymaderesources.com/product/night-vision-helmet-package-wilcox-l-4-mount-counterbalance/ You will want to upgrade the helmet some day, but it's a great value non the less.
Don’t trust it. I only know two people who got Lasik one of them outgrew the surgery and now has to wear glasses again. The other one ended up with one eye that doesn’t focus on anything correctly so now he wears glasses with one lens or a prescription monocle which while hilarious is really not practical for anything

I actually understood what you said.

Excellent Information in this video- Thank You Brother !
Got some good info here. Thanks.
Force multiplier for sure. Love my 14s.
Wow thanks for this video!! I just learned a ton about PVS-14!!!! You need to get with Glenn Tate over at prepping 2-0! It’s a great podcast!!!!
Never heard "headache mount".... we called them "skull crushers"
Hey Bob it's Casey found and subscribed to your channel.
what is the IR illuminator? Great video
its a small IR light that lets you see without ambient light, like if youre in a hous with no light or a cavern or something where ambient light doesnt spill into
What is the Illuminator called?
Good basic setup.... 👍
So, if you wear glasses, you can focus it to your eye without glasses...but your other eye is now blurred. So, you have to take your glasses off to use these?
Crow's Bridge not necessarily, one could wear glasses and focus. I think he’s suggesting one would be wearing this unit for hours without glasses
Beard is groomed. Good.

thats why it doesnt stay on, theres a pressure switch, we only turned it on at the ready, shot, and turned it off.
What’s the price?
Starts around $2500- $3995 for single and $6000 for a binocular
Hi, where did you get the helmet combo from please...? Thx..
They sell a combo. Don't know if this is what you want:

Do you have an E-mail address I can contact you with?
Get lasic, glasses suck

you peddle these things and don't know the mount is called a "skull crusher"? It's the industry accepted term.
he says it in jest, as "headache mount" because it sucks balls and gives you a headache at the same time.
