Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The use of night vision<\/a> and thermal<\/a> technology for hunting purposes is on the rise. During the day, most of the wild animals remain in the forest, hidden from the human eye. They come out at dawn or at night to graze in the meadows. Under these circumstances, a standard day riflescope is not of much use. A night vision or thermal device, on the other hand, opens a whole new world for the hunter. Such devices have also proved to be useful in preventing the spread of African swine fever<\/a> \u2013 with this deadly disease on the rise, it is of crucial importance to reduce the population of wild boars to a level where the probability of it spreading is greatly reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n

The manufacturers produce monoculars<\/a>, binoculars<\/a>, riflescopes<\/a>, and riflescope clip-ons of this type. In certain countries, the use of night vision and thermal riflescopes for hunting purposes is prohibited. The manufacturers thus offer clip-ons, the use of which is not as controversial and legal in many places. Furthermore, the clip-ons are the most universal category as they can often be used as a monocular as well. Before purchasing a night vision or thermal device, check whether it is legal to use it for hunting purposes in your country\/hunting ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several important factors that one must pay attention to before buying an adapter to link night vision or thermal clip-on with a riflescope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, the riflescope must not have a parallax adjustment ring on the objective<\/a><\/strong> as there is not enough mounting surface for a clip-on adapter on such riflescopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
