I actually posted this in the night hunting section, and got no responses. Maybe I'll get something here, hate to double post, but couldn't delete other one. Help please.
I just got a ATN THOR 320. I can easily mount it to my SBR which is where I really want it but it lacks a suppressor right now and another full auto/ SBR rated can is not in the budget quit yet. I have two other rifles that I love to shoot, both are suppressed. One is a .223 AR15 the other is an AR10. .308. Both are set up as precision/ long range rigs. I really don't want to take off and put on the scopes to use the thermal for the weekend. Seems like I've seen some pics of you hardcore night hunting guys with stuff stacked on stuff on your rifles. Is there a way to mount the clip on ATN THOR without removing my day scope? Can I somehow mount above my day scope? Any ideas or suggestions? Ready to kill some hogs!
 
I use the Thor 320 2x Thermal as a Dedicated Scope on My Ar10 243 or Ar10 308 or Ar15 5.56.
But I have to re-sight it in for each Rifle. Not too much trouble.
I haven't tried it as a clip-on. Not sure it would work , but that would be cool if it would.
Let us know if it works for you.
 
Looks like I'll be running as a dedicated scope as we'll on my suppressed .223 AR15, and once I get another suppressor on the SBR, it will stay on it. For now I will have to go back and forth from day scope to thermal scope by taking off and putting on and hoping they remain sighted in going back and forth. Started to sight in, but ran out of time and the weather sucks, so hopefully in a few days it will be done. Love looking through the site though. Showed my buddy this evening and 30 seconds after his cat walked across the floor, you could still see the paw prints. So cool!

My Thunderbeast can on my precision long range rig is not full auto rated, which is what's needed due to the pressures being more than twice as much on the SBR. I blew the baffles out once already and Thunderbeast arms was nice enough to fix and giving me good deal on the next one for my trouble but recommended not doing that again (putting it on the SBR). Getting close $$
 
The one I got is a clip on, I assume. It's got the A.R.M.S. Throw lever. What I was trying to ask in my OP was wondering if there was a way to have both the day scope on the rifle, as well as the thermal, without ever taking off the day scope. Pretty much gave up, took of the day scope put on the thermal. Need to sight it in, then switch back and forth a couple time to check the zero one each? Hopefully they don't change. For the price, and wanting a thermal, there was no passing up the deal I got.
 
Oh, just realized that the themals mentioned by GMAN757 work with a day scope when mounted in front, very cool. Didn't know they made ones like that. Yeah, mine doesn't do that I don't think. Was trying to see what it would look like if I did, and it didn't seem to work. Beggars can't be choosers, I'm super happy with it simply because I was able to get it. Next one will be a nicer one
