Hawke frontier 5-30x50, I’m very pleased with how well it works, although I definitely wouldn’t go any higher in base mag, lower would be even better.
Meopta Optika6 2.5-15x44 or 3-18x50.
i dont know what rifle its going on.
but i have just bought one of these

Nitesite - Day Scope (3.5-10x40) Night Vision IR Friendly use with IR products | eBay
Yes it can. The scope is supplied with a flip-up front lens cap and 2” sunshade. Scope (3.5-10x40). Any 850 or 940nm IR product will work well. Scope mounts not included. distance at night. Field of View (m @100m): 9.9 -3.7.

Scopes that work well with the PARD 007 will have the following characteristics:
Side or front focus down to around 10 yards
Objective lens of 50mmm or more
Low base magnification(x4 or less)
IR friendly glass. This is the part that most top end scopes fail on. Their lens coatings do not pass IR as well as many cheaper scopes
Scopes known to work well are:
Hawke Sidewinder
Sightron S Tac
Delta titanium
Athlon Midas
Bushnell Elite
Meopta Optika 6

Hawke Sidewinders 3-12, 4-16 and a Hawke Endurance 3-12 all x 50 work very well, tried an old Vector Optics Sentinel 6-24 x 50 last night and could see a fox quite clearly at about 200 yards, I did have to grind down the knobby bits near the eyepiece to slip on the collar but it was a worthwhile experiment.
Yip. I tried a 007 on an IOR and it was not great. this seems to be the case with best quality German or Austrian glass. Good low mag Japanese scopes seem to work best. my Sightron S111 is very good but has a bit to much magnification for finding targets. The better Stac models are as good as it gets the 3-17 x56 in particular is reported to be the the best for this application.

So a Swaro 6 x 42 wouldn't be a good match then?
I tried mine on a S&B 3-12x50 Klassik. Useless, couldn’t see a thing. Tried it on my Kahles CL 4-12x52, pretty damn good I’m glad to say. Tried it with a Hawke Air Max, not bad but preferred my Kahles during the day.
No.
It doesn't have any side or front focus, let alone focus down to 10 yards
The objective is smaller than 50mm
The lens coatings are not IR friendly
I've tried a few S&B scopes with the 007 and none of them were much use
