Big plus with the night vision over the thermal is you can actually identify your target beyond all doubt. It also highlights if there is any brush etc in front of the target which may significantly reduce the bullet making it intact.
Some have said thermal clip on, yeah they are quite literally 5 to 10 times the price.
I use mine on 3 different rifles on any given night, .22, .17hmr, .223 are the ones I use several nights a week. I do stick it on a .308 and .270 for deer control. I don't have any problem with it coming back from the scope with the smaller calibers. However, on a rifle that creates more recoil, if you are shooting on an angle slightly up hill for example and you have the rubber eye piece around your eye then unfortunately you will get smacked in the face. Having a slip on recoil pad and holding your eye just back from the scope fixes this.
I use thermal scopes as well as night vision and to be honest I reach for the night vision more than the thermal. The clip ons are fantastic to the point where I done away with my dedicated NV scopes all together. Sure the clarity was a touch better but the versatility wasn't there.

That’s awesome info, thanks for taking the time to write that
