That's what I was going to say, along with battery selection. Some AAs are actually shorter than others, frustratingly enough. Especially rechargeables vs alkalines. So try new types of batteries.
She was nursing she was in tall grass and stuck her head up and I shot then about 8 little ones ran for the hills. They were big enough to make it though.
Any of the sniper lights can use a IR head unit. I bet that 66 is awesome
Yep. Digital Night Vision like mine, the X Sight and Photon are not true night vision. They are all low light cameras that are sensitive to IR light. The IR illuminator projects light that is invisible to our eyes but visible to the camera.

The 66LR has interchangeable modules. Miket has the Infrared module in his where you have the red module in yours.
iirc ccd cameras are inherently sensitive to near ir light (visible light lenses and cameras) - but generally will have an ir filter (I assume it helps with their daylight use). They need more light to generate an image than your eyes, but if the IR filter is removed, they can see an image illuminated with an inferred flashlight (that is not visible to our eyes).
Traditionally NV refereed to image intensifier's. I think they were originally known as starlight scopes. They multiply existing light (visible and near ir), so can see in fairly dark environments.
Thermal is general not refereed to as night vision. It uses radiated far inferred, so does not require an external illuminator. It uses a totally different image capture device and germanium lenses (germanium is expensive - approximately $1800/lb per today's spot).
new to the thread here......but I'm using a PVS 14, gen 3 autogated. Depending on what I'm doing I either weapon mount it, or mount it to my Ops Core jump helmet. If I'm walking around, it's on the helmet. Sitting in a stand, it's weapon mounted.
The PVS 14 is a great unit. Being prior military I know how well they hold up. I would recommend them to anyone if price wasn't an option
Photon 4.6 arrived today, so far back yard test it looks awesome! Better then I expected, also glad to see the hinged front scope cap so it won't fall off like previous models.
