The way I read the law, only night vision scopes with magnification that are mounted to a firearm are illegal. A PVS-14 mounted behind an Aimpoint M2, as I have, is perfectly legal. Before you combust, let me state my simple logic for my belief. The law states "Sniperscope means any attachment, device or similar contrivance designed for or adaptable to use on a firearm which, through the use of a projected infrared light source and electronic TELESCOPE, enables the operator thereof to visually determine and locate the presence of objects during the nighttime." The key words is "telescope". A telescope by definition magnifies an image. Hence my set up it complete legal even with a IR illuminator.
