A devoted night resourcefulness weapon sight is one that replaces a day scope for any type of gun or rifle. In other words, it is a weapon sight or scope all to itself. It includes a housing, an goal to be attained lens (typically a exposure of no less than 4x), a night vision effigy tube, and usually, an infrared illuminator is included to support with aiming. Dedicated night resourcefulness scopes are normally set up to be mounted to a Weaver and/or Picatinny rail system. Dedicated night imaginativeness weapon scopes, more often times than not, are the better way to go if you are looking to achieve pinpoint accuracy in your aiming and shooting at night. Particularly at long distances, where windage and elevation adjustments become critical to obtain accuracy.

Weapons mountable night imagination monoculars, on the other hand, are not rather as precise because they require an further and added sighting system or scope to be mounted in front of them on the rail. While this does provide accuracy at closer distances and CQB situations, it does not provide the accuracy or the exposure you need for longer distances. Providing exposure to a monocular mounted scheme is difficult. Monoculars distinctively get fictitious and come general with a 1x goal to be attained lens. 3x and 5x magnifier lenses are accessory items, and quintessentially can not be mounted onto the monocular and put behind a sighting system, such as the Eotech or Aimpoint. The weapon or rifle rail is numerous times not long enough, and if you are competent to get it to fit, it looks awkward. Suffice it say, that if you are looking to get a monocular for long distance aiming and shooting at night, you may want to rethink your options. While the monocular is very general due to it’s skillfulness in use, such as being weapons mountable, camera adaptable, helmet mountable, head mountable, and hand held, it is not optimal for long range shooting.

It is worth mentioning that there is a new piece of instrumentation available now to the night imagination long range shooter called the AN/PVS-22. It is called a weapon sight because it was designed to be mounted on a weapon or rifle, but it is not rather a “dedicated weapon sight”. The reason being that it isn’t a stand alone scope. The PVS-22 is a distinctive night resourcefulness scheme that is little sufficient to mount in front of any boresighted daytime scope. Scope exposure may range from one to twelve power. The PVS-22 does not require any boresighting and once mounted the daysight provides the aiming point. The PVS-22 maintains boresight in spite of normal misalignments due to mount position faults and does not alter the sighting centerline (parallax is unchanged from dayscope). The UNS (Universal Night Sight) also holds no beam splitter or folded optics to go out of alignment. The PVS-22 may maintain accuracy at longer distances because the more spectacular the magnification, the narrower the field of view. The narrow the field of view, the more channeled it is through the PVS-22.

While the AN/PVS-22 may maintain a level of accuracy for long range shooting at night, it doesn’t come much for less than a committed night resourcefulness scope. In fact, it may even be more expensive. It just depends on the quality of the night resourcefulness effigy tube in it.

5Great Addition
By justanother
This product is very utile for quickly switching among short and medium range. Goes best with the newer models of the Eotech with the control buttons on the side of the sight though.

5Reach out and touch someone.
By Randy
I in the first place buy the Eotech 556 and genuinely liked it. Then I saw the Eotech 557 with 3x Magnifier on a friend’s rifle and it genuinely brings it to the next level. You may effortlessly maintain a tight grouping and a rapid rate of fire at a hundred yards, it’s easy to get on target and stay on target. The 3x Magnifier is a must have Eotech accessary for any person who wants to be capable to shoot at ranged targets.

4Great but not perfect
By HAD2
I have the Eotech G23FTS installed behind an Eotech 517 HWS on a SIG 556 rifle. The 517 by itself is an splendid aiming device, and the magnifier extends it is effective range, making for a very exact weapon up to the limits of the magnifier. Compared to any other sight or scope, the accuracy of this combining is unmatched for moderate distances.

As I said, it’s excellent, but not perfect. The combining of the 517 and the magnifier adds noticeable weight to the rifle (in excess of a pound), altho in my case it did not disturb the rifle’s balance.

Probably the more disappointing aspect is the eye relief through the magnifier. With the magnifier flipped to the side, the 517 is exceedingly easy to see through and to sight the target with both eyes open. When the magnifier is flipped down into position directly behind the HWS on the picatinny rail per Eotech’s instructions, a real tunnel vision effect occurs, and it is substantially more difficult to find the eye relief sweet spot. This is a bit frustrating, specially giving careful consideration to the combined cost of these bad boys. I would commend that you check the eye relief on your weapon before buying.

As far as build quality, the magnifier and the scope are introductory rate and combat ready.
