I am in the minority. I prefer a clip on.I'd like to get a thermal scope and "clip-on" scopes seem to be the most practical and, having no reticle withers attendant adjustment turrets, they are less expensive for a given resolution/pixel number.
Imagine trying to look through your day scope at a little computer screen 2" in front of your objective.Can a regular thermal scope like a super hogster be attached in front of a regular day scope and used like a "clip on"? I like the idea of keeping my day scope attached (non thermal)...
Negative.Does the laser beam from a regular handheld LRF put off enough heat that you can see the beam and where it is aiming with a thermal scope?
