Thermal Imager Add-Ons for Flexible Night and Low-Light Shooting
At R. Macleod & Son, we offer a carefully curated range of thermal imager add-ons, designed to give shooters the ability to convert their existing daytime scopes into full thermal-capable optics. These devices attach directly to your rifle, providing heat detection and imaging without the need to switch rifles or re-zero your setup.
Ideal for deer stalking, pest control, and land management, thermal clip-ons allow you to operate efficiently in low light or total darkness whilst maintaining your familiar scope setup.
What is a Thermal Imager Add-On?
A thermal add-on is a compact unit that mounts to your existing rifle scope, feeding a thermal image into your scope’s view. Front-mounted clip-ons are the most common, connecting to the objective end, whilst rear-mounted units (less common for thermal) offer alternatives for digital devices. By using your day scope for aiming and magnification, these devices combine precision optics with thermal detection, giving you a versatile, all-in-one solution.

2. Quick Attachment and Removal
