The HS325 mounts ahead of a day optic and feeds it a thermal image, using the day scope's reticle and zero. DNT recommends LPVOs or low-magnification prism optics, kept in the lower half of the LPVO's magnification range.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIs there a rangefinder version of the HS325?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo. DNT does not make an HS325R.
