    Recommend a quality day/night scope with IR capabilities

    One I can zero and leave on the weapon for day use and then turn it on for IR night use. Not regular NV but IR.

    Maybe an IR module I can put out in front of an EOTech or Aimpoint? Shut it off when not using it, turn it on after dark.

    Was reading about the Sig Sauer Echo 3. It "looks" about like what I'm thinking of. I wonder though, can you use it during the daytime without being powered-up?

    What is IR? IR is just a spectrum of light. You can’t see it without NV.

    I don't believe there are any thermal scopes set up that way. I'm assuming you're not looking for a clip-on?

    Yes, that is a possibility. Do they only work with magnified scopes? Is a particular clip-on made for a paritcular scope?

    I'm talking about the optic itself being IR capable, not needing NODS with it. i.e. it displays what you're looking at in IR.

    Not sure but a Flir optic may be what you seek.

    For anything IR or thermal related I would reach out to TNVC.

    I believe if I understand what you want correct in the IR range this is what you are after: https://tnvc.com/shop/category/night...vision-scopes/

    Your main concern is scope centerline beight, which would be a mount issue rather than a brand/make issue. I do not see why a clip on would not work with any optic provided the centerline heights match.

    This may help

    Thanks!

    Like I asked earlier, "Is a particular clip-on made for a particular scope?" It looks like the scope objective lens fits perfectly into the IR clip-on. What about an EOTech or Aimpoint?
