Thanks Trout,
Any recommendations on a fwd mount unit? I can’t find many in stock in NZ.

I think I have only seen one forward mounted NV unit from memory. It was a pulsar, certainly not common at all to have a forward mounted NV unit.

On TM theres a InFiRay CH50V2,buitifull unit design for scopes up to 9x.I know iv got one.Will get it on a new burris scope next week.Both have the same fov and the scope is a 2.5x10x42.Iv got a Rusan adaptor that is only .5mm bigger the the objective bell of scope.Will be a very net fit.The clip on will centralise on the scope very well.Looking forward to trying it out.Have shot one deer thru the V2,couldnt miss.lol.308 zeroed at 200yds.

The issue with a forward clip is the change of zero that will most likely occur. Although admittedly I haven't used one I did quite a bit of research on this before going to the rear attachment system. Apparently some of the later model Thermal forward clipons have a zero compensating function which is intended to work around this. The other issue I see is the fact that with a forward clipon you are restricted to quite low magnification so for me at least where shots are taken out to about 350m on smaller targets like fallow deer this is not ideal. As far as the issue with eye relief using a rear mounted clipon the new Pard 007s pretty much sorts out this problem. I have in the past used the 007v and eye relief was a real issue, I have since moved to the 007s and the difference is night and day (no pun intended). The 007s also comes with proper shims for fitting to different scope eye pieces.

Iv had 3 clip/on s now,one NV,2 thermal,no zeroing.The clip on acts just like a monocular.You just use the cross hairs on yr scope.Bugger rezeroing the clip on,i just switch the thermal cross hairs off.I keep most of my night shooting under 250yds,mostly 50yds to 200yds.

Ok, Interesting. there is a conflicting info online about changing scope zero's with a forward NV or thermal attached.
I guess the other real issue is cost. You can get a Sytong or Pard rear NV attachment for under 1/2 the price of a pulsar NV forward.
