Does Pakistan army or SSG operate any clip-on THERMAL night sights for its sniper rifles? Bcz i think thermal sights are way more better in detecting a target than a night vision sight.

Yes thermal scopes are used by army and SSG.. Apart from French FELIN systems (adopted by SSG)... Pak Army uses optics produced by optronics complex and local companies like Shibli etc.

Technically, M110 and SR-25 is a different rifle. In a way HK416 is a different rifle than M4.

M110 was a total redesign from SR-25 for the contract of USSOCOM. While M110 are based off SR-25, some of its design were changed to the adaptation into USSOCOM. Item such as the overall length of the P-Rail were length of the upper receiver where as SR-25 run in a shorter length (Stopped just before the forward iron-sight). The buttstock is also redesigned as well as the barrel grooving. The most significant different is the use of flash hinder
