[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 890352, member: 17844"] Thanks . I would not carry this anvil very far at all. From the car to the range line or to a fixed lay up position and that's it. Some of the concept is for basically sleeping on the gun over baits. When it gets dark I take the day scope off and fit the NV . I can't afford , NV at the objective end so the whole day scope has to come off and separate NV goes on . The NV is based on a CCD camera not an image intensifier tube so it is usable during the day to some degree so it would only go on if I knew I was spending a few all nighters in the bush. The good thing about the weight and the adjustable cantilever monopod is the gun stays put well even when you are half asleep on the butt , so when you wake up every now and then to check the bait station it's still looking right at it . The reason the day scope is a little high is the NV is very bulky and needed a high rail which I had to make to get the right one. However I like the heads up type position as you can see way more around the scope and the turrets better than laying down flat behind a low mounted scope . This gun is basically orthopaedic as it's been designed to suit me and my idiosyncrasies. By the way the gun has a name it's called The Sword Fish . I might paint it on the side. [/QUOTE]
