Clip on thoughts

[Mpayne]

Hi All
I am just waiting for my licence to come through. I am going for a 243 Tika. I am thinking of a day scope woth a thermal clip on. Has anyone got any recommendations for a scope suitable for a clip on thermal?

Thanks

You need to start with something that has a low base mag, no more than 2.5x, to get the benefit of the thermal unit FOV.

you can get parallax errors by clipping NV devices onto a day scope, the sadly now departed expert on such matters Bruce would have likely advise ideally not to do it.

Do your homework before spending your money.

I've got a Krypton 2 FGX50 and have had terrible 'zero' problems. I'm using the Krypton adaptor and I'm sure that's part of the problem. I find it really hard to get it back on my Swaro Z6i in exactly the same place; I don't want to leave it on permanently because I like using glass in daytime and the adaptor diameter is so small. Do you prefer the Rusan to Smartclip? They both appear to be superior to the Pulsar adaptor.
Also, 2 probably stupid questions about the 'zeroing ' process:
1. if the scope is zeroed at 100m do I need to do the 'thermal zeroing' at 100m also, or if it's just...

I have been using a Krypton1for a few years on a swaro and a zeiss and use a Krypton 2 aswell no probs when set up swapping rifles .

Judging by this vid Nocpix have solved the problem (about 10 mins in)



I think a lot of the problems came from irregular mounting but the Rusan mounts seem to have solved that problem

Yes the Rusan bayonet adaptors are working well on 3 of my scopes.
