Default CCO's w/nightvision



Well after training this month, I got to do some live night fire ranges and I noticed when I use the PVS-17 and a pac-15 on my M249 it isn't really a good combination and just adds more weight and the PVS-17 just pulls my ACH and makes shooting very awkward. So one of these highspeed CCO's would allow me to fold my PVS-17 back while I'm in firing and don't have to worry about it pulling my ACH over my eyes. Does anyone have a good CCO that can see in the day and have the option to be nightvision as well, so I won't need the pac-15? Not to mention its just a lot of **** to carry....


I also get another problem with the PVS-17 and my Pas-13 (thermal sight) with the m240Bravo. The PVS-17 once again gets in the way and doesn't allow me to look through the sights unless I loosen the straps on my ACH and push it to one side. So if anyone has a good, strong, sturdy CCO that will work for both the M249SAW and the M240Bravo, I will be very thankful.

I wouldn't gripe about this if I had a M4, as I can still wrap my hand around the weapon with a surfire and a pac-15 and carry it quite comfortably.

P.S if your going to ask what eye I'm firing from, that would be right eye, and what eye the PVS-17 uses that is also my right eye. I've tried the PVS-17 on my left eye, but I just can't see well with it. I've adjusted everything but still anything passed 10 feet looks blurry, but hell thats how my left eye is even without it. With the right eye I can see way out there.
