Need full NV shopping list

[grizzlyblake]

Can y’all help me with an easy button for a full NV kit?

I have a BCM with 13” MCMR currently with an AP H2.

I know nothing about NV but want a solid basic setup. Budget is pretty open.

I’ve looked at the Photonis that JRH has but not sure if it’s a quality mono.

Do I need to swap my AP for a NV EOTech? Get an IR laser? Helmet for the PVS or whatever?

Really looking for the “get a 6920, Aimpoint, and G19” recommendation. Preferably stuff in stock.

I spoke with Robert at JRH. He said if lead time is critical, Photonis Echo, DBAL A3, and Ops-core helmet. The helmets are tough to find he said.

We are seeing on average 68LP and 30 and over SN on Echo spec units with very clean tubes.

Another poster here just posted his data sheet numbers in another thread.

I’m ready to order the Photonis and DBAL. The ops core LE helmet is $1200. Is that an overkill helmet just to hold the PVS?

1) Get a PVS-14
2) Get a DBAL-A3
3) Get a Team Wendy LTP bump helmet
4) Keep your Aimpoint
5) Zero your Aimpoint at 200y
6) Cowitness the visible laser to your Aimpoint at 200y
7) Confirm zero under NODs by engaging a steel target at 200y.
8) Align illuminator on laser aiming module so that aiming point is centered within the illuminator

That is the Doing This From Scratch checklist that will get you up to speed quickly.

Very sound advice.

This thread is funny now after actually speaking over the phone this morning.

Thanks for jumping in man.

Is the Team Wendy bump okay with the Photonis? What else is needed for mounting? Any need for the counterweight stuff?

The Rhino mount is what interfaces between the shroud on the helmet and the J arm (comes with your PVS14 from us) that attaches to the 14.


The shroud on the helmet is pretty universal, unless you go with one of the knockoff chinese made helmets, then you can EXPECT the shroud to be off spec. Gentex/Ops Core and even Team Hillary is pretty universal and you shouldn't have an issue with the shroud from either of them mating up with a Norotos or Wilcox Rhino arm.
