The lightest thermal clip-ons
A clip-on mounts in front of your day scope, so its weight hangs at the far end of the rail where it does the most damage to balance. These are the clip-ons in the catalog ordered by the maker's published weight, lightest first. Weight is the manufacturer's figure for the unit alone, without a mount unless stated.
29 units · Sorted by weight, lightest first.
