My 22-250 is out of the game
I need to get a flattop AR into the hunt for next weekend. Night and day coyote hunting.
I have (all older) Trijicon TA01, Aimpoint red dots. Plus a PVS 14.
If I could get one of these to work out that would be great. Or I need another optic that would mount on my flattop readily, and be good up to 100-150 yards.
Time is of the essence. If I have to order something it needs to be here, mounted, sighted in and ready to run Friday night.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hell, for the distances you are shooting the TA01 is almost ideal.

That's what I have mounted right now, but would really like to incorporate the PVS 14 into the night hunting end of it.
Thanks.

QD mounts for PVS/aimpoints for nite + TA01 in qd mount for day? LaRue could set you up with that.

Thanks for the input. I'll need to get a rail to fit on my front handguard for the PVS, or Aimpoints to fit. The only railed part is the receiver itself thus far.
This is just supposed to get me through the next hunt Friday-Sunday. I want to be competitive, but should have the 22-250 back after that hopefully.
Looking for where I put the Aimpoints. I just had them out last week.
Thanks again.

They should work on the upper alone...unless I'm woefully ignorant of your setup

and hereThanks for the links. I have them in different mounts. Still looking for the Aimpoints. I stashed them just anywhere when I left the house last week. Still looking.....

I have done quite a bit of work at night, not for coyotes as I am just getting into yote hunting. But for my work, helmet mounted pvs14 is the only way to go - and I use an aimpoint T1 micro with NV settings. When rifled mounted, you have to keep the rifle up at all timesand it gets tiring. if you don't have ACH just get a Bell bike helmet and make one. ACOG plus PVS 14 hasn't worked that well for me and many others.
instead of a swing mount, if you had to have the 14 weapon mounted, a twist mount from TNVC would be better as you could put it on your rifle when you had targets and use it there to engage.

I've used a helmet mounted PVS 14 at work for several years. I kinda thought of going that way, but it was just a passing thought. It gets pretty cold out here at night.
My last big hunt of the year. It's beginning to sound like it could be fun?
Sign in Friday at 2000. After the calcuta it's off to the hinter land to start hunting. Turn in will be Sunday at 1600.
Thanks for the input.
