“The other reason I run the ACOG is for another type of interface with my PVS-14.”
That’s my problem with articles like this. Who has $3,000-$4,000 just for optics? This dude must be made of money. Find a decent AR pattern rifle, (yea, I know. Good luck), put a decent red dot on it. Get a sling.
Then learn how to use the damned thing. Competence and confidence will more than make up for your lack of high dollar attachments.

My two Colts got the plastic Magpul flip-up rear sights, Vickers slings, and Aimpoint PROs. That's as much as I can spend on them. The rest get the cheap slings that go on the factory swivels, and Bushnell TRS-25s on co-witness risers.
That's a "budget" battery.It cost a bundle, but it's nothing compared to *one gun* in this article.
He has photos of a Trijicon ACOG mounted behind the PVS-14.
$3,200 for the PVS-14 and $1,500 for the ACOG. He also had a laser mounted, and not one of the cheap pointers, but one that shows up in thermal imaging.
That's easily $5,800 in gadgetry. We'd love to have it, just can't afford it.
I do have a Vortex flash supressor. I never got around to mounting it and now it's in storage.
