I'm looking for options for a clip on, flip to the side, thermal imagining device. Seems like, the Trijicon OASYS SkeetRx Micro Thermal Monocular w/Articulating Rifle Mount SKEETIRX-IRLAS-MT at EuroOptic is the only thing available. And that costs $12,750! I know I'm missing something (lots) so I need your collective wisdom. Yes, the device needs to be both clip on AND flip to the side. To much to ask? Let me know. Thanks from an Old Fart.

A more affordable option:
- iRay RH25v2
- This adapter: https://strictlyoffensivekit.com/products/sbr-dovetail-adapter
- A Wilcox flip to side mount for the SkeetIR thermal.

The SkeetIR does not support very much mag at all and isnt a very good clip on. RH25 or Voodoo S are your options. Voodoo S is superior but drastically more expensive.

The Wilcox mount works well. I am not sure how its zero retention is for non-collinlmated thermals though. My stuff is all collimated.

AGM StingIR is probably the best flip-to-side as it is the most compact and American Defense Manufacturing made a flip mount specifically for it. I have one that I am selling to fund a wedding. DM sent to OP.

I used mine (RH25) in both the FTS and ADM mount. I was able to make hits at 500yd using both. I will say, I typically used the FTS on my 11.5 556 and my 13.5 MWS 308. Mainly due to both of those guns having a white light and set up for pigs, deer, and yotes within 300yd. The ADM I keep on a 14.5 as a loaner setup.
