Advice on Night Vision Scope

I was hoping some of the members on here can provide some advice on a suitable scope for night shooting feral pigs.
I'm thinking a night vision vision scope instead of thermal. Max distance in reality will be about 250-300 yards. Being able to see movement a bit further would be great but shots will be closer.

Being able to display on a phone or screen for my son to watch would be good.

Any pointers or suggestions and what to avoid would be appreciated.

Thanks
Dave

Hey Dave, have a chat to Bob Engwirda as I know he bought one recently and loves it for similar shooting.

Actual scope? or a clip on?

Doing research on a full scope. Digital day/night. Not sure about clip ons and whether or not they can get bulky.

I realise you get what you pay for but my hobby budget is F-Class not hunting. Looking for something mid to upper range without going stupid. This will be used for an occasional shoot when a farmer friend is having issues with pigs. He is only 10 minutes from home and I can go check on my way home from work. Have set up a few trail cams to work out their routine.

Thanks
Dave

I run a Clip on. A Hikmicro TH35.
I use it as a "monocular" until i see a fox (much easier than waving a rifle around), I then clip it on and fire..
Unfortunately, you certainly "get what you pay for" with night vision. I bought another "cheaper" unit - Blurry vision and i'd almost trip over a fox before I could tell what it was...
