I tried the approach I saw online to mount my FLIR MS 224 thermal monocular onto one of my rifles.
I took a cheap $25 picatiny sling mount. I used the cheap no name brand as it comes apart and didn't need to be drilled out.
I removed the swivel bolt and passed a 1/4" x 20 x 5/8" screw through it. I had to shorten the screw by 3mm and I ground off the top of the screwhead so that the mounts picatinny bolt could clear it.
There is no crosshair on the 224 so it is more of a detect the target and then light it up with the light/laser or aim with the red dot.
The hot white object at the bottom of the screen is the 10/22s front sight. At close range using it as an aiming point would have you printing higher than the sight on the screen.
I had it on my .357 magnum Timberwolf pump and it seemed OK eye relief wise.
Recoil wise I doubt that the .22 rimfire would damage the camera but I wouldn't risk it with a .308 or larger.
