[Cosantor]

It wasn't by any chance at the Salthill Airshow that you got your hands on it, was it???
The lads from Athlone rolled out all the guchi gear for the display this year!! Very nice!!

Held a steyr with kite sights and m203 during the summer and I can tell ya that there is some weight in it.

Kite-Site

Kite and Maxi-Kite are compact, light weight night vision sights for use as a portable long range surveillance weapon sights. This fully ruggedised system has x6 magnification (as maxi-kite) and provides a high resolution image for effective observation and accurate weapon aiming at longer range targets. Maxi-Kite is produced by adding an afocal lens assembly to the already fully proven and highly successful Kite night sight, which is now in service with more than 40 countries. Maxi-Kite can be supplied either as a complete sight unit or as an upgrade to the standard Kite night sight. It can be fitted with a suitable graticule to fully interface with a weapon's ballistic characteristics. The sight is particularly suited for use on sniper rifles and crew-served weapons. Weapon interface brackets can also be provided

It the model name I think.

Why is it called Kite site and not a Night Vision Scope?

[Goldie fish]

Kite sight and grenade launcher is overkill. Kite sight itself weighs almost as much as the steyr...

[greyfox]

had one in my hand was a bit on the heavy side , although it had a kite site attached , accuracy must suffer a bit !!! but a cool piece of kit

There was a feature on the 40m in An Cosantóir / Connect a while back. See if you can track this down afor the info in question.
