I assume you could with appropriate diameter flashlight mount . It's tiny I looked at one at the gun shop last week the display is maybe a bit smaller then a half dollar , I would pick one up for around half its current price maybe .

I seem to recall being told that the LTO has a 30mm main tube, so it can theoretically be mounted to a rifle. Don't know how robust the construction is and it may not hold up to recoil.

The unit was originally designed as a relativly inexpensive, compact thermal you can carry in your pocket for use in spotting and tracking.

I really doubt that its compatible with optics and you definately can't use it as a stand-alone aiming device. The use case I would imagine for mounting it on a rifle would be to mount in the 3 or 9 o'clock position, or offset to an optic. Seems like it loses some of its utility when you do that though.
