Which day/night scope?

Hi all, I'm looking to buy a new day/night scope to put on my .243 for foxing at night and also for deer at last knockings. Main options I'm considering are
Hik Alpex 4k lrf
Pard Nightstalker 4k pro
Pixfra Volans 4k lrf
DNT Zulus V2 5-20z

Previously had the Hik A50T which I liked but lost confidence with losing zero so do I risk that again with the 4k model?
I've used my old man's Pard Nightstalker 4k which was awesome in the day but found the buttons to be too fiddley and have read that pards reliability isn't fantastic.
No experience with the Volans or DNT.
Do I just sit it out and wait to see what the Nocpix Nite D70R is going to be like?

Any thoughts are welcome 👍
I have a Zulus 5-20 v2 on a .270 and am very happy with it.
It replaced a much bulkier Pulsar C50 with a separate Laser torch.
Saved 1kg in weight, now have LRF and ballistic calculator.
 
I have the Alpex 4k lite and very happy with it, but like the idea of the Zulus v2 as a lightweight alternative on a dedicated .223 for pests. The Ballistic calculator is a game changer for me for rimfire, but not sure it’s that helpful for a flat shooting cartridge like .223 over the ranges that I shoot. I think it’s worth going back to the problem you’re trying to solve, before you get caught up in features and benefits. Speaking as a tackle/gear tart…
 
Alpex 4k is fantastic but pretty heavy if your used to a traditional scope. That being said you soon get used to the extra weight
 
Can't speak for the Volans but personally the best one out of the lot that I've played with is the Zulus V2.

If only it came in a tube format...
It now does ( just released in USA ) but you have no integrated IR so may as well save some money and buy a SH alpex 4k
 
Had alpex 4k and a DNT Zulus V2 whilst the image quality is better on the 4k the weight of it a the need for an external IR made me sell it.

Have 3 Zulus across my rifles for rabbits and foxes.

4k is a good bit of kit but the Zulus is more than adequate for my needs and is lighter and has everything built in
