This is a really nice looking setupI’d go with a Pard DS35. They are $360 right now.
DS35(LRF) Day&Night Vision Rifle Scope - PARD
The DS3x series uses an 800*800 LTPS circular display, which delivers high-clarity images with rich contrast and has an extra-wide field of view for enhancedpard.com
I use a NV008S, they are currently $420. I did the clip on for some time. I prefer a dedicated optic and rifle for my night pesting.

It was good as a dedicated optic for night, but I got upset when I wanted to shoot without the unit during the day. The scope was way too forward.The Pard unit arrived yesterday, pretty nice, easy to mount and use. The couple shots I took last night were right on, justsome wine corks at about 20 yards.
What I wasn’t crazy about was how far forward I had to move the scope to get a decent eye relief. It’s just barely enough, so I’m not sure if I’ll keep it. Might be better on a regular rifle, but not so much on a bull pup...View attachment 432501
Yes, I’m thinking the 008 might make more sense...It was good as a dedicated optic for night, but I got upset when I wanted to shoot without the unit during the day. The scope was way too forward.
Been there, done that, have a dedicated no scope now.
It wasn’t worth it for me. I know the distances on my property. And I’m not using it anywhere else in the foreseeable future.Im interested in the DS35 for some night hunting with a M60B.
How important is the LRF? I shoot primarily the same places every time at known ranges....thinking not a big deal for me?
Thanks for the reply. Makes sense. They no longer have the no ir no rf option. If I get the model with IR only, can I take it off the scope? Thanks for the help!

The illuminator on the NV008s is not removable. I just have mine turned off since I use an IR floodlight.Thanks for the reply. Makes sense. They no longer have the no ir no rf option. If I get the model with IR only, can I take it off the scope? Thanks for the help!
Just bought a cheaper NV. Wanney digital day/night vison scope with range finder ( NVE- E53A). I have had a ATN X-Sight 4K Pro 3-14x Smart Day/Night Rifle Scope and this thing outperforms it completely so far. Mounted on AEA Challenger 357 big bore.

Interested in how you like it. Keep us posted.I just bought a Pard DS35. The cost vs the Oneleaf nv400 was not worth the extra frames per second recording. The DS35 is a bargain, I will let you guys know what I think once it’s mounted up.
How to you view the IR through a regular scope? The IR is invisible to the human eye.Depending on your ratting situation, a red light attached to your current scope can be quite effective… I killed hundreds of rats with just such a setup… Proof of concept…
