    I've used a 007 clip on for the last 4 or so years. Having a parallax adjustable scope is a must but I digress as the 008 is a dedicated scope. I have shot most things with it including your list of intended clients which it's pretty good at actually, eyes stick out well past the useable range of the illuminator. Getting above any grass etc is vital or you will just white out the screen with back scatter like a spotlight. A supplementary illuminator is a bloody good investment, it prolongs the units battery and to be honest the one in the unit isn't that great past 150 yds it makes positive id a bit difficult. A small add on like the sytong one is a big improvement.
    As already said, depth and distance perception is poor. The clip on using your normal scope allows a mil dot reticle as a sort of range finder. Perhaps there's a similar reticle in the 008. Also as a day scope the image is certainly good enough to use.
