Front clip on thermals

[BLUEROLL]

Thank you. Do you leave the adapter fixed on the scope when just using glass?

Yes the Rusan adaptor stays on the scopes objective bell.

That’s very clear, thank you. Only thing is that the Krypton doesn’t have that distance to target function, or at least I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere.

Oh yes. My bad. It seems that Krypton is set only to 100m zeroing. With XG50 model, 1 value of X,Y will move POI for about 2cm.
Sorry to misslead you.

I have finally (they were out of stock apparently) received my Rusan modular adapter for my Pulsar Krypton add-on and fitted it on the scope. A question I have is that my scope reticle is not in alignment with the green cross of the thermal, although the vertical and horizontal lines of each are parallel the centres do not coincide. Will that matter? Obviously I will need to go to the range and zero it.

Would a lot of the problems of front mounting go away if you fitted a picatinny rail above the barrel and mounted the thermal to that rather than the scope or am I missing the point?

Saw a neat mount the other day that flipped over out of the way as well

Seen several military set-ups like that, a logical progression from red dot sights and separate multipliers but you end up with a "tactical" rifle. Swings & roundabouts............

Sorry but I am not familiar with the Krypton.
I do use the refence line in the Nocpix Mate to check repeatable alignment and it has its own X/Y calibration to align and mimic your day scope reticle POA on video playback.

Assuming your day scope is already zeroed to your preferred distance, the only way to check your Krypton is aligned correctly is by testing on a thermal target.
You may have to do some calibration adjustment on the Krypton, but after that and going by my experience with the Rusan Mar adapter it will be reliable to retain POI.
Hope that helps

Thank you. I was planning to calibrate it anyway. I had just expected the two to be aligned. Mind you, I've just realised that my scope reticle is in the zeroed position, not to 'out of the box' position so I'm probably worrying about nothing!
