Hi Adam

I shoot rimfire, .17hmr and .22, Fx Verminator .22 FAC and two centre fires .243 and .308!

Targets are rabbit, rat, fox! I also do bird control and looking for add on (I think)

Toyed with the idea of a build but think I will buy first one. I've had a go a coup,e of times and got on better with the add on with lcd screen, my eyes went wonky with the dedicated scope!!

I'd go for an addon too if you want to cover a few rifles. For a screened type the ones sold by dave (somebloke) on here are hard to beat

Best behind the scope, TV screen on top add on digital NV: buy one of Some Bloke's premade units or follow one of the builds in the DIY library using an E700 camera from Sure 24.
Best behind the scope with near eye display screen add on digital NV: Buy a Ward D 800 from Night Vision Store or follow .22-250 Jocks build in the DIY build library.

Best cheap digital dedicated night vision rifle scope: Yukon Photon. DIY upgrade it by following the builds in the Photon Extreme Library or buy one with long range lens fitted by Night Vision Store.

Best Digital Dedicated rifle scope : Drone Pro from Night Vision Gear, honourable mention to the Pulsar N870.

Best tubed (military style green screen) monocular: Milspec PVS14 ilegally imported from the USA.
Best warranted tubed monocular PVS14C from Night Vision Store or Nyx 14 from Night Vision Gear, discuss tube quality options with the vendor. Cheaper quality options are the Cobra Demon from Thomas Jacks, GS14 from Night Vision Store or Pulsar Challenger Gen 2. Ignore anything listed as Gen 1 or Gen 1+.

Best dedicated tubed night vision scope: Talk to the importers for in depth options. Expect heart burn prices.
