Hello, I've had a few pms about night vision builds so il list the majority of bits you need, please note, this is how I've done it and I've had good results, I'd advise doing more research in to it to find something that suits your needs eg near eye build.

Illuminator-http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/T20-Led-Hunting-Light-NV-Night-vision-Torch-RED-XML-OSLON-IR850-18650-Battery/141803131616?_trksid=p2053742.c100463.m3226&_trkparms=aid%3D555014%26algo%3DPL.DEFAULT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20150527183144%26meid%3D2b447636be014ec2a4b41ac6e54c22d6%26pid%3D100463%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26
now, the illuminator is chosen by choice, I've put this up as it contains everything you need, torch, mount, battery's, charger and mount. I advise buying good batteries (Panasonic and the likes) and a half decent charger.
There's an adapter if you don't want to solder it up but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called.
Now, for the housing. A few people use silicone tube however in your local screw fix they do what's called 'Floplast' they fit the camera perfectly, I think there around 39-42mm or so and come in bags of 5. You will also need the ends for them, I tried finding them but for some reason I can't.
You need to mount your screen to your scope somehow, I use an upside down picatinny scope mount with a small piece of rail screwed to the box I got from my local hardware store. It fits the screen perfectly along with the battery. These are araldited in place

I think that's the right battery but will double check and find the exact one I'm using.
Il update this with any bits and bobs I can think of extra when I get a bit more time but for now I think I have most things there

Second part, these should be ideally glued/araldited together

I've never had it run out yet, used it for 10 hours on and off in 1 session and I think the most I did was about 20 hours before I put it on charge again (that's switching it on and off and scanning
)

That's another illuminator, like I said there are many options for illuminators but the ones listen are easily suitable for Rimfires. It is also important your scope has Parralax adjustment wether it's on the front or the side.
