The least expensive way to mount a night vision unit on a firearm is with the Yukon NVMT Riflescope Kit. The order number is 26041. The kit includes a 3x first generation night vision monocular without a reticle, a mount and a laser. Since the monocular does not have crosshairs or any aiming point, a adjustable red laser is utilized to determine point of impact. The mount affixes to a Weaver style or Picatinny rail, and the laser is securely held under the monocular, which is attatched via included screws. This system is accurate and works well. The monocular can be easily detatched and used as a hand held unit. It also comes with a carry case. The night vision monocular may also be reattached without loss of zero, since the laser is sighted in, not the monocular. A first generation rifle scope starts at quite a bit more money, and is not as versatile as this Yukon offering.
