Eye protection with sniper scope
« on: January 21, 2011, 08:48:25 PM »
I recently acquired a POSP 4X24 military issue scope for my king arms SVD, http://www.posp.ru/4x24v.html I was wondering, Currently i run a full face mask with my m4, which obviously does not work well with this scope or any scope for that matter, Any one have recommendations on what kind of eye protection i should get while running my sniper role?

Pretty much any goggles or glasses that don't stick out too much should work just fine. Make sure they're high impact resistant though, just to be safe. Also I'd suggest looking into some alternate sort of lower face protection, as shouldering and properly sighting a rifle, especially a sniper, is difficult with a full paintball mask.

FAB a cheap full face mask into a half moon mask,  kinda phantom of the opera like but only enough to make your cheek comfortably rest on the rest

+1 on the t-800's. Great goggles. So are wiley-x's.

I no longer wear non-sealed shooting glasses after too many close calls. I actually had one shot knock the glasses halfway off my face when they hit them at a weird angle.

I'm going to vote for the T-800s as well. If you wear prescription glasses finding goggles can be troublesome. The cheapest way to eliminate your problem is to buy a riser. Like this one:
