Burris BTC35 Thermal Clip-on Scope - Black

The Burris BTC35 thermal clip-on scope is a versatile thermal imaging system that gives you the best of both worlds: deploy it as a standalone handheld thermal scanner for glassing, target acquisition, and blood tracking, or snap it onto your existing rifle scope in seconds using the included quick-disconnect adapter. Whether you're hunting hogs at night, pursuing coyotes, or working a blood trail after last light, this 35mm thermal optic delivers the thermal imaging performance serious hunters demand without forcing you to buy a whole new rifle setup.

The BTC35 puts serious glass in your hands—a high-performance 35mm F1.0 lens paired with a 12-micron pixel pitch sensor means sharp, detailed thermal images across a range of hunting distances. You get real-time video, photo capture, and your choice of 4 color palettes to read the thermal signature that works best in your conditions. Picture-in-picture mode, stadiametric ranging, and hot-tracking features help you stay on target, while 1x, 2x, and 4x digital zoom keeps magnification flexible without sacrificing detail.

Battery life won't cost you a hunt. Two included 16340 rechargeable batteries give you solid cold-weather performance and hot-swap capability—drop a fresh battery without powering down. That USB-C port accepts an external power bank too, so you can run extended operations without watching the battery meter. The intuitive rotary-knob menu system and 10 customizable reticle options let you dial in the optic exactly how you want it. Add the M1913 Picatinny rail and 800G shutter for shockproof durability, and you've got a thermal system built for real hunting pressure.

This is a modern thermal that hunts the way you hunt—standalone when you need mobile glassing, clip-on when your rifle scope needs a thermal edge.
