A quick look at my Pard IR night vision gear while out doing some pest control after dark.
The handheld scanner is a Pard NV019 and the scope is a Pard NV008 mounted to a Tikka T1x in 17hmr
I'm running a cheap Chinese external IR illuminator mounted on the side of the Pard IR scope which throws out a heap more IR light and really helps see small targets out at the max point blank range of the 17hmr.
