N-Vision Optics listened to operator complaints about the high profile of binocular systems in the up or stowed position. They use the latest, certified tubes and have created a completely new chassis that place the individual tubes closer to the helmet. Additionally, this means that the tubes can be used individually or in concert with one another. Additionally, it is a completely integrated system with battery and mount, all-in-one.

Spuhr Mounts

Sunday, April 15th, 2012

I heard about Spuhr Mounts right before SHOT Show from a very respected trainer. A product of Sweden, their bread and butter is the ISMS – IDEAL SCOPE MOUNT SYSTEM. There are a few distinct features of their scope mounts. For example, the rings feature grooves for a better grip on the scope. This also assists with gluing of the scope. But what’s really a bigger point is that the mount is milled out of a single billet of Aluminum 7075 T651. This means that the base is one solid piece and the top portions of the rings that hold the scope in place are naturally, separate. But, the base is one, solid piece. Additionally, the Spuhr incorporates a minimum of seven interfaces for accessories. This facilitates the mounting of lasers directly to the mount, coaxially with the scope. You can also mount other accessories via removable picatinny rails and many of the mounts feature levels. To work in concert with an integrated level, Spuhr has introduced a 10 degree wedge that can be used to ensure the scope is level.

They also manufacture a mounting system for NVGs as well as a sight mount for grenade launchers.
