Quote HistoryQuoted: Cool thanks. Dumb question but just to confirm, the ir laser is adjustable for passive aiming? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Don't you people ever work? It's seasonal. I started looking at IR illuminators / laser combos and it started to make my head spin a little.  I'm a poor with a low end PVS -14, so imma stick with the TLR-VIR II for now. Does what I need. Does that have a slaved IR/Vis laser? No vis laser at all, it's got 3 settings: White light (300lm) Off IR illum and laser But the laser is good enough out to as far as you can see, and the illumination is good to 50-75ish depending on how good your eyes and nods are. Mine aren't great so I don't really try to shoot much past 50. Cool thanks. Dumb question but just to confirm, the ir laser is adjustable for passive aiming? If your ir laser is on you're emitting and therefore not passive. |

I still need to try out one of those Modlite IR heads. The IR850 supposedly has a 300y IR hotspot.

I'm a big fan of the piggyback RMR for passive aiming.
The EOTech is better for passive (easier to get behind and standard advantages of the reticle), but the ability to cock your head to the side and drop down onto the other optic if white light comes on is a nice option. |

Then again, that's $300 that could get me another TLR-VIR II. |

Good news - the vet has recommended against Mia seeing the neurologist as she has no nervous degradation or whatever words she used. That means no specialist and no need for an MRI.
Mia will get new X-rays of her spine to confirm discospondylitis. Fingers crossed that's all it is and it can be treated with drugs. There's a glimmer of light. |
