    Sytong clip on scope

    Has anyone used one these? Are they any good? Can’t find many reviews on them. Have the sytong thermal and find it really good. Thanks

    Can’t comment on this particular clip on but a mate went down this path with a thermal clip on and eventually gave it up as he seemed to have to check the accuracy all the time (mainly because it wasn’t shooting straight). I don’t understand why but with a night vision clip on as long as your scope is accurate everything is ok but with thermal clip on both have to sighted in.
    He was probably buggering it up but it did seem a ‘temperamental’ system - made for a few laughs though

    Thermal normally clips on front and that can cause issues from memory

    Mines pretty good. At first I was using it on a non ao scope and you could either focus the reticle or the target, then got an ao scope and its much better. Its got a bit of a menu to to through to set it up and even now Im not sure on all the settings. One thing I do when mounting it is instead of using the tape on your scope eye bell I use pushbike tube and slip that on instead.

    Yeah have used a sytong one a lot. Dial and consistency shoot out to 550 yards, longest shot just over 630.
    Handy for when you're out hunting or doing pest control and the day ends, just clip it on and continue.
    Very robust and reliable.
    Ran it on a .270, .308, .223, .243, .17hmr and a .22. Sometimes multiple rifles in a night. .270 was always a bit wary about getting smacked in the face.
    Fired thousands of rounds using it professionally.
    Downsides, finicky focus, slower follow up shots and less eye relief.
    Dublin and witchcraft like this.

    I just got the HT77 LRF last week. I like it so far. Still playing around with it a bit to try and get the picture a bit better. My scope is a 4-16, and have to have the magnification below 6 and parralax wound back. But it’s pretty clear on rabbits out to 100m

    Here’s a video from Friday night’s effort

    I’ve noticed there’s probably about a inch of adjustment in the adapter, I’m currently running mine as far forward as possible, but was thinking of backing it off a bit to see if it improves the picture at all. Has anyone else tried this?
