Is there a day/ night scope that can give decent resolution at 200 yards in the day, and 25 yards at night?

[Begle1]

A stork is on its way with a Huben K1. I plan to use it for short-range pest control at night at no more than 25 yards, but I'd also like to take it to the range during the daytime and use it for target practice at up to 200 yards. Is there a single scope that'd make me happy for both applications?

I haven't watched hours of YouTube videos yet, but based on the written reviews I'm seeing I get the impression that the Pard, ATN and Sightmark digital day/ night scopes don't really have the resolution to comfortably see paper targets at 100-200 yards? It wouldn't feel right to have a scope much less precise than the gun.

I have a Sionyx Aurora and an ATN OTS 4 thermal monocular, so I'm a little familiar with entry-level, somewhat-crappy-yet-still-quite-expensive electronic optics...

The DS35 does look like it has acceptable resolution at 200 yards.

The built-in rangefinder with the auto-dropping bullseye is pretty damn cool. I want to scoff and make fun of it, but that and the nightvision seem like the obvious payoffs of this technology.

I guess I'll get the 940nm one since that's also what I use for my Aurora and maybe I'll grow a few extra arms at some point to use all of this crap at once.

Depends on what you mean descent resolution. It’s probably best to get a clip on scope add on for night time.

The DS35 looks like a very nice scope. Giles also did a review on it that would be worth watching as well.

I don't know if any other scopes move the view within the screen so the reticle always stays adjusted, but my frustration with the Pard NV008 is that you usually end up with reticle that is off center in the view finder. That really tweaks my OCD issues.

Having the built in ballistics with the range finder is pretty sweet too. I'm sure others have them.

@brawler1588 - if you see this thread I know you've been testing a lot of night scope and may have some other options worth looking at.

The DS35 is like a next-gen NV008, right?
I have a DS35 on the way. I hope I don't hate it.

Hi Begle

I think you done well there with the Pard DS35. You cant go wrong with Pard

Hi Guys
I'm back and my M3 .25cal is still at the main distributor for FX in the UK being fixed and no one can fix it. Its gonna be 20 weeks this coming Friday.
20 weeks without my rifle. What would you do? Advise given by FX didnt help them with the repair. They just cant fix it. They have replaced regs, adjusted probe and replaced barrel and liner and still no luck with grouping and shooting straight.

WHAT SHALL I DO???

WHAT WOULD YOU DO???

I've been having some weird range finder issues (it seems to work on everything except white paper targets at the firing range) with my Pard but it fits the bill for 100-200 yards during the day. Pixilation is such I wouldn't want to go much beyond that unless I was aiming at cow-sized objects.

It’s not happening. Not even for 100 yard precision shooting. I have a Sightmark Wraith 4k that I hoped would make me happy night and day. It’s now on a gun that now is just a medium range shooter. All my long bomber airguns get a clip on for nighttime work.

Here is a photo with the X-Sight 5 5-25x LRF at the highest resolution at 100 yards at 25x. Actual visual quality is better than the still photo can portray. There is also the ability to go to 50x extended zoom, which means this would be the view at 200 yards, but the quality is worse, because of the extended digital zoom.
