Suppose you would like to extend your hunting period to include low light and nighttime conditions but do not want to spend too much on a night vision scope device. At the same time, you already own an excellent regular scope on your rifle. In that case, they consider attaching a night vision monocular to your rifle scope to improve the device significantly.
Let us study what the night vision monocular is and how it operates, how you can attach it to the scope, and what benefits you can expect from it.
First and foremost, let us consider what a night vision monocular device is and why it is a good installation option.
This device is more compact and lightweight than a binocular. It also comprises only one tube and one eyepiece.
The device operates by gathering and intensifying the infrared light reflected from heated objects and then transforming it into the part of the light spectrum visible to the human eye.
Nowadays, there are night vision monoculars, which can be additionally improved by a digital display that can operate both in daylight and in low—or no-light conditions. By just switching from one operational mode to the other, you can provide yourself with an excellent multicolor picture during the day and with a black and monochrome image at night.
The device features a battery or a set of batteries, the capacity of which limits its operational time. Some models also allow you to charge your device from an external power source.
Another option is the built-in infrared lamp. It is a good addition, but if your device does not feature this lamp, it can be purchased or supplied as a separate light and mounted on the rifle or a rifle scope by a special attachment fitting. This IR lamp will considerably improve your nighttime hunting in no-light conditions. Moreover, sometimes, you can adjust the brightness and the range of light rays on it, which is also very contributive.
Combining the NV monocular with a scope gives the user many advantages. First of all, it is worth highlighting the wide range of applications. Thanks to the night vision attachment for the scope, it is possible to turn a rifle into a universal weapon that can perform various tasks. The following significant advantage is turning standard daytime optics into night optics. This process takes a minimum of time and does not require much effort. In addition, the combination of a night vision monocular and a scope will make it possible to increase the accuracy of shooting, eliminate the need to use lighting devices and improve the safety of using weapons.
Let us study the simple steps to install the night vision monocular on your rifle scope.
First, you should ensure that the night vision monocular you intend to buy is compatible with your rifle scope. So, check the manufacturer and the monocular characteristic features and measurements. Or you should think of purchasing the correct set of attachment fittings. The best option is when the manufacturer of the monocular supplies the device already with the proper attachment rings or installation adaptor or converter unit. Otherwise, you should study monocular attachment methods in advance. You should probably consider changing your rifle scope’s fitting base to an extended one to house both the scope and the monocular.
Another critical issue to consider in advance is where you intend to attach the monocular. There are two possible options: you can either mount it in front of the rifle scope or behind it.
On the one hand, it is very convenient as it lets you quickly attach and detach the monocular from the scope. Furthermore, your rifle has much space in front of the scope, so you will not have much trouble fitting the monocular. On the other hand, you will have to be very careful and patient when aligning your monocular with the scope. This is important as some monoculars featuring a clip-on are pre-designed to be mounted at the scope’s front.
If you intend to buy a device that will be installed behind your rifle scope, you should consider the measurements of the monocular and the allowable space aft of the scope. Moreover, you should also consider the issue of your rifle’s back-blow not to hurt yourself when you start shooting. On the other hand, you will expect more minor difficulties with your scope and monocular alignment.
After purchasing the monocular and the matching attachment fittings, ensure that you have the right tools for installing the device. You should also check that your rifle is unloaded.
You should also ensure that your working area is clean and debris-free.
You should also check that the lenses of both the scope and the monocular are clean and free of dust or debris, remove any possible rust and degrease all the attachment fittings and mounting points.
Then, you should carefully follow the installation instructions.
If your attachment fitting implies attaching the monocular to the base with the attachment rings, you should first mount the base, and the lower halves of the attachment rings with the screws. Then, you should install the monocular onto these half-rings, take the rifle in your hands, and look through your rifle scope and monocular to ensure their proper alignment. When you are satisfied with the result, you can screw the upper halves of the rings.
Make sure the screws are not overtightened or, on the opposite, remain loose, as both these conditions may negatively affect your monocular’s operation.
The assembly procedure will be much easier if you have a special adapter or converter.
The final instruction is to try to protect your night vision monocular from daylight and store it with protective lens covers in a padded casing when you do not use it. This will extend the device's lifetime.
Attach an NV monocular from the front to give a regular sight of the functions of a night vision riflescope. To do this, you need to take a special adapter supplied with the monocular. Using a conventional-sized bayonet, you should attach the adapter first to the night optics and then to the sight. As soon as the night vision scope is connected to the NV monocular, you need to check the correctness and strength of the fixation of the devices. If everything is fine, then at the next stage, you can point the weapon at some distant object and look into the eyepiece of the monocular. You can adjust the focus and make other settings based on the image you see. The desired effect will definitely be achieved if the optics used have the correct eye relief and suitable characteristics.
This method is also simple. It involves performing several standard actions. To begin converting the optics installed on a weapon into a night vision rifle scope, you need to attach the base of the monocular to the corresponding place on the rifle. Next, the existing or independently prepared mounting holes on the night optics should be aligned with similar holes on the mounting system. The next step is to attach the monocular using ring screws. They must be tightened until they stop, but do not apply excessive force. After securing the night vision rifle scope to the monocular, you can check the alignment and adjust the optics.
The above aspects make the night vision monocular ideal for installation on your rifle scope. The device is usually available with an already-existing set of attachment fittings, which also dramatically facilitates its structure.
The answer is that a good rifle scope provides a perfect targeting option and a good magnification. At the same time, the night vision monocular allows you to see in low- or no-light conditions. So, combined, they will make a perfect match, each performing their primary functions. And again – they will cost you considerably less than buying a high-quality all-in-one night vision scope. Moreover, this way, you can hunt both during the day and at night by simply detaching the night vision monocular from your rifle scope or re-attaching it, respectively.
Using various night vision devices with a sight is the most straightforward task. However, it is necessary to follow a specific sequence of actions. At the initial stage, you should adjust the focus of the sight used. Next, you should find the target and, depending on the distance to it, select the optimal zoom settings, considering the features of your shooting style. After the sight adjustment, you can start working with the night vision monocular. Looking through the eyepiece, you must ensure the selected target is precisely in the center. If not, you must adjust the device and achieve the desired result. After that, you can use the night vision monocular with a sight to perform a particular task.
The night vision monocular and the sight are compatible devices. By installing them correctly, you can combine the capabilities of both types of optics and expand the range of applications. Due to numerous advantages, such a combination of devices will become indispensable when performing many tasks, and in some cases, it can even become a real salvation.
Yes, with the clip-on system, you can easily add night vision to your rifle scope.
Regular scopes will be useless at night because the darkness will prevent them from forming a visible image.
Using both of these devices and expanding the scope of optics applications with their help is possible.
