Thermal: StingIR 640
Optic: PA SLX 1X Microprism.
My day time optic is perfectly clear to my eyes when ran individually, but the second I put my thermal in front of it on the rail, my reticle on my day scope is then out of focus when the thermal is perfectly clear. I tried the thermal in handheld and clip on mode and it doesn’t seem to make a difference image wise.
It doesn’t immediately strike me as anything wrong with my thermal, as it works just fine in handheld mode, and looks the same (but reduced in window size) in clipon mode. I adjusted the diopter on my day optic to the extreme limits in both directions and it doesn’t seem to make much of a difference. Sometimes I can manually focus my eyes to make the day scope reticle in focus, in the same way you have to adjust your eye’s focus to read words 4 inches in front of your face instead of 2 feet away, but obviously that’s not a solution. Is there something simple I’m missing?
Edit: Just to be clear, the thermal’s image is crystal clear when looking at it through my day optic, it’s just the day optic’s reticle that is out of focus.
