    Experience with front clip on NV?

    Does anyone run clip on NZ and how do they find it?

    I'd be using it for deer and pig control mainly.

    I notice that military run front clip on for their night sniping optics so am curious If i could also push the range with a standard dial up scope. hence wanting to run a clip on.

    Cheers

    Civi Clip on is largely nowhere near as good as mil stuff, and most of the mil stuff is ITAR Regulated.

    So you're either going to be trying your luck with Civi gear or Trying to smuggle a FLIR unit from the US.

    Front clip would mean resolution degradation with any scope zoom. I would imagine the military stuff is intended for low or no zoom?

    No not correct thermal and nv are co witnessed in from of daytime optics. Just a serious price differential from Military spec to civilian.

    The laws of light and physics would disagree with you.
