Best clip-on night vision and thermal scope attachments
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 8, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: AGM Rattler-C V2 35-384. A true clip-on that mounts in front of your day scope, so you keep your existing optic and zero — 384×288 thermal with a 35 mm lens is the sweet spot for coyotes and hogs out to a few hundred yards, and it's the most proven, best-supported clip-on in this class.
Who the others suit:
- Pulsar Krypton 2 XQ35 — best image for the money if you want a lighter, more refined unit with a crisp sub-18 mK sensor.
- Sig Sauer ECHO CV25 — the step up: 640×512 resolution for cleaner ID at distance.
- AGM Rattler-C V2 19-256 — a compact, long-battery entry point for shorter ranges.
- Pulsar Proton FXQ30 / Oneleaf Commander NV100 — digital night vision rather than thermal: cheaper, but you need IR illumination and range is shorter.
- Liemke Luchs-2 — premium European glass for serious long-range work.
Check the clip-on's objective clearance and mount adapter for your scope before ordering.
