I tried putting an o-ring where indicated with the yellow dots and that only made it worse.

Maybe some flat rubber washers might work better??

Glad to hear it’s working out for you. If you have a 30mm tube on your scope you get brighter image as well.

All the things that help are IR illuminators, or strong quality output illuminators, scopes with 56mm objective lens and 30mm tubes will really increase distance and brightness.

So your scope needs to start from 1-6x or 2.5-4x magnification.

Yeah, the only thing with both grips is that you need to put some form of padding or material to fill in the voids between the Airforce Grip and the Houge grip. The Houge grip was designed for a handle with larger volume/mass.
