thx for that, it made my search way easier.
@35L4S SOTIC - After your write up - decided to give them a try - my objective measures 46.3mm - go with a 46mm or 47mm Base Clamp?
Id go 47 mm I made the mistake of getting one slightly slimmer thinking it could expand 0.3mm it doesn't. These are very precisly made.
This is my first personnally owned clip-on thermal optic. And I dont have a lot of (very little) experience with other models. So far I like this one a lot and it discerns objects very well especially at this price point. I't does not work as well as a $30,000 unit, nor should it, but it is better than a Pulsar hand held I have. The mount works great as advertised and I was able to shoot and zero with a paper target on a cool day - no heating the target - and it shot a little over 1 MOA group. The limiting fator (rifle shoot 3/8 MOA easy) was the reticle / thermal limitations at low power. It just does not have enough "pixels" to zoom in for small groups. More than enough for game animals - not for dots on paper.
Sorry, just saw this. Have since played with another unit that used a 2X eyepiece and that was useful. If one of those fit, I'd consider it, but yeah - the mount situation is dogshit by comparison to something that arrives with a rail mount attached.
