Thermal Imager Add-Ons
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.

No need to invest in a separate thermal riflescope.
2. Quick Attachment and Removal
Ideal for shooters who need flexibility between day and night work.
3. Zero Retention
Properly mounted units maintain your scope’s zero.
4. Cost-Effective
