Thank you Titleist, I have plenty of these beam shaper covers to use as covers. I am looking for the battery tethers for the battery compartment knobs though

Here's my Mk12 Mod1 SPR as it is right now with the new PVS-27 mounted in front of my NightForce 2.5-10X24 optic. The 27 is overkill for this optic! But I don't even have powerful enough glass to reach out to the PVS-27's max potential (manual says 20X, but I've been told the image starts degrading past 15X, especially without a good illuminator).
My SPR kinda looks all mismatched and odd right now. That's because I'm still trying to figure out the exact setup I'm going to stick with, i.e. stock, rail cover placement, PEQ and/or illuminator placement, etc.., and I think I'm gonna get some scope rings and ditch the heavy Larue SPR 1.5 mount. Can anyone tell me which scope rings I should go with? Need some that are preferably some of the lightest, yet still very strong and "bomb-proof" like the Larue mount. Ideas?
Anyways, once I get everything all setup the way I want, then I'll finally paint this gal and she'll finally look proper
This PVS-27 is one BIG BITCH... and I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Hang on. You want to ditch the LaRue SPR mount because it is too heavy??? Yet you have that ****ing monstrosity of a NV scope stuck on it???
You been out in the TX sun too long mate.
Actually that is a very very cool darkness dominating SPR mate!! I saw the night shoot videos, pretty impressive. You made me check out TNVCs site, I may have the NV bug now...

How much does it weigh? Does your rifle feel super front heavy? yOURE STOKED MAN. Super cool. Congrats man
ETA: Oh yeah, here's the link to the YT video you mentioned in case anyone else is interested:

Lol! That did sound a bit ridiculous, eh? I'm mainly talking about for when I'm shooting during the day minus NV kit, suppressor, etc.. Also I used to move this NF scope around between guns back when I originally got it 2 years ago, but now I intend for it to be dedicated soley to this SPR so there's no longer a need for the excess bulk of the LaRue QD mount since it's gonna stay put here now.
But yeah, when shooting at night this is VERY strictly a bench gun (or any kind of rest that's around, gotta get innovative sometimes when shooting hogs!). Haven't weighed it yet, but she's definitely a heavy bitch!! And an absolute blast to shoot as well, as you saw in the vids
I went back and forth between the PVS-22 and the 27 during the months I was selling shit and saving for it, over and over. Victor finally convinced me to get the 27 since no matter what I would always be shooting from rests anyways due to the heavy weight with either unit. The 27's objective lens is twice the size of the 22's, so allows it to gather twice the amount of light, which translates into a brighter view downrange and is able to be used at TWICE the distance as well, which is friggin' awesome! It's also surprisingly not at all that much more $$ than the PVS-22.
I'm planning on getting an 18" LaRue OBR and putting some nice glass on it, much bigger in size than this small NightForce NXS model, so it won't look AS huge when mounted on that setup. Just have zero clue how long it'll be before I can get all that stuff. Probably a while. I'm broke now!!!
That's what happens when you get the NV bug, brother... it's even more ferocious than the black rifle disease! So be careful!
