First dip into nv and ir - great product - Steiner DBAL-A3 Green Laser Devices w/ IR Pointer and IR Illuminator

Let me start out by saying although this was the first dip for me into IR and NV, that I did a lot of research ahead of time to make sure I would be content with my purchase. This unit has a simple interface of controls to use as either a standalone unit or in conjunction with the included tap switch. Sighting in is easy with the slaved IR laser to the visible green laser and the IR pointer is very crisp for use as a aiming point. If I had to state an area of improvement, that would be the intensity of the illuminator - which I understand to be not the fault of the unit, but the hinderance of IR intensity options legally available to civilians due to arbitrary laws.

It does everything wanted it to be able to do, serve as a sight for use with NV, with or without the illuminator. The visible green laser is
"neat" and helpful for sight in purposes but beyond that, I don't have any plans to use it. The included lever mount at the base is good enough, although it would be better if it sat lower, cant have it all I guess. I decided to put it on a Tavor SAR and run the tape switch down to the backside of the front of the trigger guard - you'll have to decide for yourself how best to integrate it with the rifle you intend to put it on.

If a friend asked me what to get in terms of a NV IR set up, I wouldn't hesitate to point them in this direction.
