I am looking at the Sightron S1 1.75-5x32 scope for my HW 97K and wonder if a Pard NV007V Clip-on Night Vision Scope is compatible. The Pard website suggests only 40mm scope objectives are covered.
Pard NV007V Clip-on Night Vision Scope compatible with 32mm lens?

Pard website says 40mm objectives or oculars? The NV007V is a rear clip-on so the 32mm objective shouldn't matter.
Unfortunately the scope you're considering doesn't have adjustable focus so it is probably a poor choice to use with the Pard.

Typically, the smaller objectives I have seen had smaller eyepieces so, I am assuming they were slimmer than the 40mm version scopes.
Regarding focus, Sightron’s Precision Focus Eyepiece is what I see on their listing.

You need a parallax adjustable scope when using a clip on NV. Trust me, I’m the clip on king. Love em.

The glass in both of my Hawke scopes like clip on NV. But they aren’t cheap Hawkes. I would skip an AO and get something with a side wheel. When you reach out front to play with an AO scope, you’ll blind yourself with the whitewash from the IR. Again, trust me.

What Hawke do you recommend? The Airmax 2-7x32 is ~$250 which seems targeted to my application.
Really good glass is super nice but, I don't want to spend more on the scope and NV clip-on than the rifle by a significant margin. The Sightrons recommended above are suggested as having a lot better quality but, most don't have AO.
The side wheel scopes I have noticed were all >$400 and had a lot more magnification than would work well for my usage.

You don’t want a scope that has a base magnification of more than 4X. The glass that likes clip on NV is a lottery. I’ve seen them like a cheap Westhunter scope and not like a certain Athlon. The Hawkes I have are Airmax 30’s. Not cheap but super clear with a clip on. All Discovery scopes in my inventory like a clip on NV. But not as clear as the Hawke Airmax 30 or Sightron.

Thanks! Yep, with NV base magnification often being 2x or more, higher magnification scopes will have you looking through a soda straw at individual hairs or feathers on your target species.
Which Sightrons are you running that work well?

Sometimes the scope budget magically goes up. The beauty of good scopes is they can keep following you as the guns they were on come and go.
