A thermal clip-on is recognized as one of the most universal systems on the market. Imagine when you are hunting during the day, you're out in the field, and nighttime falls, but you only have a dedicated night vision scope. What do you do? You have to remove the daytime scope and place the night vision or thermal scope on the rail. What’s the downfall? The downfall is that when you put the daytime scope back on the rail, you will need to resight the scope each and every time you take it off. The solution is to purchase a thermal or night vision clip-on. What’s a clip-on? A clip-on is a system that mounts in front of a daytime scope without the need to resight the daytime scope to work in conjunction with the clip-on.

These clip-ons are available in three resolutions: 256, 384, and 640. They offer a range of performance levels. Clip-on systems work with daytime scopes that have a minimum of a 24 mm objective. They function seamlessly with scopes up to 56 mm objectives. Some of the daytime scopes that work best with a clip-on are from brands such as Night Force, Trijicon, Swarovski, Vortex, Kahles, Leupold, Steiner, and many more. Once the thermal clip-on is mounted in front of the daytime scope, you will be able to detect heat signatures through the daytime scope. You’ll also have the ability to use the existing reticle for precise target acquisition. Other major players in the industry include AGM, Pulsar, ATN, Infiray, and many others. That selection makes it easy to find a clip-on system suited to your needs. These systems provide a practical, effective solution for hunters and professionals alike, ensuring optimal performance in any condition.
