After reading and watching everything I could find online, I ordered the Zulus 3x12 LRF today.
I hope battery and SS micro comes with it? Ordered from DNT website.

I waited too long on the 5-20LRF;
now it's out of stock. It will be my next scope.
Let us know your impressions when it lands. Thanks

Will do. I'm expecting my experience with the Oracle X by Burris on a crossbow will help me with the learning curve on this one. Frankly, the most challenging thing for me hunting with the air rifle (not resting) is the loopy trajectory of pellets. This should help with that. I also think it will be fun to see recordings of my misses? I have little interest in the night use, but who knows.

The folks at Zulus are very responsive! I sent an e-mail question. Yep, the unit comes with micro-sd, two batteries, and a charger.

I was in the same boat. Picked up a one leaf nv400 and just haven’t meshed with the digital optic. They shine (no pun intended) at night but just come up way short for daytime use, in my opinion when compared to a glass scope of the same price range. Even with it set where it is supposed to be in auto mode with brightness and contrast it just doesn’t look well in lower lighted conditions especially where there are shadows like in the woods. Hopefully the zulus will be better.

Focus throw ring. I don't have the scope yet. I've read a bunch about throw rings for the Zulus. I know there is a UK 3D version andI saw the Eagle Vision version. I'm also aware some use stout, stubby zip-ties to good effect.
Has anyone used a Monstrous like this?

The 3-12 is the best. Just think of the "lesser" 850nm light as a battery holder that has a free light. I have the thermnight LRF worth every penny. It comes with the same lesser light. Only the 5-20 has the 940nm light. Honestly I have a hat and helmet light with an IR setting. Anything else I have my 2 cell Vampire IR.

Brother, please get either the thermnight LRF or the 3-12 and spend the extra savings on an external IR.
I guarantee you that all your dreams will come true.

My Zulus 3x12 arrived yesterday. I've charged the batteries and the downloaded AP.
Is there a how-to. Video on how to get this optic squirrel hunt ready? I know I need to enter specs on projectile, FPS, weight, and BC. I'd love a detailed tutorial!
Thanks

Cheapest place to buy- https://www.tacpanda.com/ Price you see is shipped to your door, scope is shipped from DNT. Comes with the "free stuff" advertised on DNT website as well. I'm extremely happy with my ZHD520R.
I've noticed my ballistic compensation is not accurate with all the correct data. Zero at 50, I have to drop my FPS down on my calculations by 40-50fps to hit elevation right at 100. No big deal, still better than punching the numbers and holding mils.

I've seen some focus levers in some videos of the DNT Zulus. The ones I like appear to be made of aluminum and have a logo on them. I'm not a fan of the 3D printed ones. I can't find what I'm looking for. Anyone know?

I believe this is the one you are looking for, can be found cheaper if you search around. https://www.arkenopticsusa.com/zulus-hd-5-20-day-night-digital/Arken-Throw-Lever-p190613064
