New LPVO mount

[GeeQ87]

Just got the new Badger Ordnance 1.7 mount with J-arm for the ar. Haven’t taken it to the range but just with shouldering it, HUGE difference!!

Installed with the help of the minion twins

What did it replace ?

 

[GeeQ87]

A cheap tacticon one that came with the scope which caused me to hunch over to shoot. This 1.7 feels a lot better to shoot

There is no one size fits all that's for sure.

Now I’m looking into NVGs so not going to use the j arm but need to order a 12 o clock piggyback for passive aiming and IR laser. It never ends, right?

I just ordered the Brownell's version. Can't pass it up for the price and the historically quality stuff they make.

The minions did good work, looks good . Let us know how it is after the range.

Got out and shot my SOLGW/White Oak/BCM mix and match rifle with the Brownell's mount the other day. Shot well, aligns the Vortex 1-6 LPVO great for me. I'm happy with it. Will be hard for me to spend 3x as much on the other bigger name ones.

Other than Tacticon clearly not being on par w/Badger Ord., how did you like their gear? Tacticon has what appears to be really nice, decent quality stuff, at unbelievable prices.
I keep forgetting to go there.....

I’m still a newer shooter so haven’t tried high class glass. The scope works well, pretty clear, and holds zero. The downside is it has a mil reticle while turret adjustments are moa. I made myself a little conversion sheet to make adjustments easier. Paid like $150 when released, it’s now $400.

I have their battletorch v2, paid ~$60 when it first released and it has held up well, granted I’ll not an operator lol

I have the v1 belt, it’s sturdy and it’s a belt lol

Overall, i am pleased

I don’t know I always feel like an lpvo on a gun you’re setting up for night vision is silly. Strong opinions on 45 mount vs piggy back, I hate piggy back and really like 45. Others feel the opposite. Lpvo and another optic and laser and light starts becoming a clunky rifle. If you’re looking into nods the most underrated laser in my opinion is the Steiner d2. Outside of the Russian ones it’s the closest thing to a mawl for laser illuminator combo. Has a mawl too and that thing is awesome but very expensive, the controls are very intuitive.

I have a few handguns but only one rifle. I live in the burbs with a hill on my property so capability for distance is a plus. It’s basically an all purpose rifle where I’ve run a 45 offset dot before and was thinking about changing it.

NV has peaked my interest as of lately and rather than changing the whole set up, I was curious as to how well it would mesh, especially as a NV setup is a culmination of different tools.

I’m no operator and lots of LEO live in the area but you know… MERICA
