THERMAL ADD-ON FOR S&B 8x56?

[TITANIUM]

Looking at options re thermal without going whole hog thermal scope. Anyone have experience of thermal Add-Ons. For foxing with 270/6.5 Creedmoor rifles? Both have S&B 8x56 fitted and both used day/night...
NB - enquiry is about the Add-ons, not the caliber choices.

I think someone will say that you need a scope with a side focus.

X8 magnification is way too high for a front add-on (thermal or NV)
The image will be horribly pixellated and the field of view will be tiny
Don't waste your money
BTW with thermal, it can only be a front add-on because thermal radiation (at the relevant wavelengths) does not pass through glass so a rear thermal add-on simply would not work
Frankly, your only option is a dedicated thermal scope fitted with QD rings and swapping between your day scope and the thermal
If you really, really, really want a thermal front add-on then you'll need a scope with a much lower base magnification- not more than x3

Thanks for response. Not going ahead with this now as it will not work.
Can you recommend QR mounts. Middle of road price bracket if possible.
