#Counterbalance

After more than five years of promises, presentations and demonstrations, the first balanced recoil sporting rifles (SR-1) recently hit the shelves in Russian gun stores.

As I drive closer and closer towards the night vision world, I am beginning to take notice of the near limitless amount of accessories available. And unless you plan on a weapon-mounted setup, shooting with night vision is going to require some sort of mounting platform – most likely a helmet. However, a side effect of mounting extra ounces to your forehead means that your helmet, and consequently your night vision, will want to pull the front of your helment downwards.
