blaser germany release a thermal clip on mount

Clip-on Thermal Sights seems to be the new black, and everyone wants to have their piece of the market suddenly. Blaser GmbH from Germany is no different, and their thermal clip-on solution comes with the help from Liemke, also from Germany. They have developed a mount for the Blaser 1–7×28 iC riflescope, which in itself is a very nice product. I had the pleasure to look through it recently and was very impressed.

Blaser Germany Release a Thermal Clip-On

It certainly would be a very useful riflescope whether you’re stalking or on the driven hunt. Together with the new clip-on mount and the new Blaser thermal clip-on device you can now go hunting for wild boar at night with ease.

Blaser 1-728 iC

As you can see below, you get a very exclusive look for your Blaser. I liked the design of the 1-7x28iC a lot, it was very Bentley-like and these pictures, unfortunately, don’t do it any justice.

The clip-on is from Liemke Gmbh, and the model is called Merlin 35 (2020) in case you want to examine it closer.

Below you can find the product announcement:

Precise Connection
For hunting wild boar at night we offer an optimally coordinated combination of a premium dayscope precisely connected with a thermal clip-on device.

With its ideal magnification range for hunting wild boar and the mounting rail extended to the front of the riflescope, the Blaser 1–7×28 iC is the perfect platform for the use of thermal clip-on devices*.
A reliable connection to the riflescope is of crucial importance for a consistent and repeatable point of impact when hunting with a thermal clip-on device. Our new Blaser thermal clip-on mounts are extremely easy to operate.
Thanks to the automatic positioning of the clip-on mount, using the integrated rail of the Blaser 1–7×28 iC, the installation is always repeatable, even in complete darkness.
Thanks to a recoil lug, which needs to be installed onetime into the inner rail of the Blaser riflescope 1–7×28 iC, the constant positioning of the thermal clip-on device is guaranteed. When the clamping lever is closed, the thermal clip-on mount is additionally locked on the scope tube. This ensures the highest level of repeatable accuracy even when the thermal clip-on device is frequently attached or detached.

In short, the Blaser clip-on has a sensor resolution of 384×288 pixels and a NETD: < 35mK. The display, that you’re looking into, has 1024×768 pixels.

Here’s a video, unfortunately only in German.

I'd recommend a picatinny bridge instead of a clip on

Clip on thermals are a thing in germany because thermal scopes with a built-in scope mount are illegal, stuff hanging on your regular scope isn't. Yes, a retarded law. Like all gun laws. Who would've thought...?
And Blaser is the most gay of the gay companies. They don't just built magazine safeties in their rifles, they put the trigger literally in the magazine so that spare magazines cost €800. They sell straight pull bolt action rifles for €5000 and up, and the only straight thing about them is that they hit you straight in the face when cycling.

  @Max Müller You are claiming wrong and misleading informations, because any Optronic sight is not legal yet to be mounted to the scope. It does not matter if you can direct mount it to the weapon system or take one step more to accomplish the same. NVGs are now getting deregulated for hunting, and as NVGs are the same categorie as thermals, there is a big rumor going around that they need to make thermals available too. Because of all that, they now even consider to change the article that prohibits weapon mounted lights. But: At the moment no new law is already approved! All this is still in the stars and can change rather quick.

  @Preacher WaffG 40.3.4 says that hunters get an exception from the general ban and can own and use them. However, to use them on live animals you also have to abide by hunting laws, which in 7 of the 16 states do not yet permit them for hunting.

  @Max Müller And exactly this law would allow you to use weapon mounted NVG with a dedicated mount (like Picatinny) instead of Clip-On Devices - so you just underlined what I was saying: This product is not to bypass/loophole any law, as the law would be infringed with that mounting solution too (as a hunter, you still are not allowed thermal weapon sights - no matter what mounting solution) and that the law is in change at the moment (flashlight/thermals are not legal yet - only NVGs, which is a mess, because before there never was a ban on NVGs but on ANY device that is an optronic. Now they only made one exception, which lead to the debate that the law has juristical flaws ). So, nice quote of the wrong law Mr. Müller

  @Preacher "Nachtsichtvorsätzen und Nachtsichtaufsätzen"
  night vision pre-mount optics as well as night vision mount-on devices.
  Nigh vision scopes with crosshairs or direct mounts are still illegal. They must be mounted to the scope. They must be a direct add-on device and only connected to the scope, not the rifle. They are exactly a product to comply with this law.

  @Max Müller They can be mounted to the rifle, as long as they do not have a crosshair and are used in combination with an optic.
  There is no difference between thermal or night vision scopes in German law, both can be used by hunters.
