Top Shot Dustin Runs FT34 Clip-On Thermal

Posted by PardUSA on Sep 8th 2025

Precision builds deserve precision optics.

In this setup, Top Shot Dustin pairs an Ultradyne 6mm chassis build with the PARD FT34 Clip-On Thermal, creating a flexible system that transitions from daytime optic to thermal capability without changing the rifle’s primary scope.

The FT34 clip-on platform allows shooters to retain their existing glass while adding thermal detection performance for low-light and nighttime applications. In this video, Dustin walks through the setup and demonstrates how the clip-on integrates seamlessly into a precision rifle configuration.

Why Run a Clip-On Thermal?

Clip-on thermals like the FT34 mount forward of a daytime optic, allowing you to:

  • Maintain your existing zero

  • Keep your preferred reticle and magnification

  • Switch between daylight and thermal without reconfiguring the rifle

  • Add thermal capability without dedicating the rifle to one optic

This makes them especially appealing for precision shooters who want flexibility without compromise.

PARD FT34 Platform Overview

The FT34 clip-on thermal is designed for forward mounting and compatibility with standard daytime scopes. Key advantages include:

  • Clear thermal imaging performance

  • Compact forward-mount design

  • Durable construction for field use

  • Adaptability across multiple rifle setups
