One more thing I know I've read and heard but bears repeating is a scanner is great with a 1.5 or 2x magnification to have a good FOV but the sight needs to be higher magnification regardless of the resolution. Every time you increase zoom, the resolution gets cut in half. Trying to ID something at 1000 yards and cutting your resolution down drives me insane.
So question, how do the clip on thermals work when you zoom your scope instead of the thermal?
