PARD NV007V2 Night Vision Clip-On vs AGM Rattler-C V2 19-256 Thermal Clip-On

Buy the PARD NV007V2 if you want to shoot at night on a budget and keep your daytime scope's zero; it clips on behind the eyepiece in seconds and its 2560×1440 sensor and built-in IR give a sharp, detailed image out to about 350 m. Buy the AGM Rattler-C V2 if you need to see heat, not just reflected light, and want a device that mounts in front of the scope and stays put. The PARD is lighter at 229 g and runs on a rechargeable 18650, but it needs some ambient light or its IR illuminator to work; the AGM is heavier at about 1.1 lb, is IP67 waterproof, and detects heat out to roughly 1000 m, though its 256×192 thermal core is low resolution and its menu and image are coarser than the PARD's.

• Choose the PARD NV007V2 if you already have a daytime riflescope, want night vision with a sharp digital image and built-in IR, and prefer a light clip-on that installs behind the eyepiece without re-zeroing.
• Choose the AGM Rattler-C V2 if you need thermal detection that works in total darkness, through light fog or to spot game by heat, and you want a front-mounted clip-on with a quick-detach Picatinny mount and IP67 sealing.
