If you have Zeiss scopes on your other rifles, you are limited to using a front mounted NV device.
The coatings on 'most' Zeiss scopes blocks the IR that you would need to see on a rear mount device like the Pard/Ward.
You have quite a few alternatives if you want to go tubed, with a lot of folks recommending Starlight products, Archer and Longbow, but there is some speculation as to whether Starlight are still trading..... so, Caveat Emptor.

There are services that offer servicing and re-tubing of Starlight products, so you are not necessarily tied into to Julian.
Obviously, going down the second hand route, it would be best to 'try before you buy'.

Or there is this as an alternative - http://www.nightvisionstore.co.uk/new-d ... 2x31101780 :thumbup:
