You can get them without the IR & just add your own.
The current Gen 2 version of the DS35 has an LED IR which is not a patch of the laser IR in the Gen1 version
Sales dried up when:
a. People found out that IR was much less powerful and could not illuminate targets at anything like the distance of the Gen 1 DS35
b. The Arken Zulus came along and did everything the DS35 could do but for £250 less

It can't fit in quality 30mm mounts

The sight whallyWhat the fox or the rifle
The N470 ceased production about 3 years ago and there is no backup if it fails.
It was a very good value NV only scope, but the game has moved and Yukon have completely disappeared from the NV market
That's unlike your Zulus, which will be replaced with a new unit under warranty

Yes, that's true, but with a Zulus, I don't need to spend any money buying rings - I just slap it onto the picatinny rail (or dovetail) and I'm good to go.It can't fit in quality 30mm mounts
So, it does what a DS35 does and for 250 less

Not sure got to be 200 to 300 rounds through the .223 and say 170 through the .243 and God only knows with the .22 rimfire. All with Pards I have one on each rifle .The sight whally

Now you’ve had the Zulus, theres only 2 other choices really, if you are ok with add ons its the Vulpine, as long as you have a compatible scope and torch, its the benchmark for pure NV performance.
The other is the Alpex 4K, you just have to weigh up whether you want that extra weight and the added torch vs the compact Zulus.
I had a gen1 ,field of view wasn’t up to much for night foxing otherwise nice clear scope
There were three people in a car that broke down, a mechanical engineer, an electrical engineer and a computer engineer. The mechanical engineer reckoned the gearbox was at fault, the electrical engineer thought in must be a faulty battery, the computer engineer said:- "Lets all get out and get back in again".
Good choiceOW have said that they hope to send a replacement tomorrow pending inspection and a call to discuss options.
I think I will give a replacement another try just incase it was an isolated event....
16 minutes into this video the guy is shooting rabbits at 200 yards with an old Brno 22 , subsonics and a Zulus 5-20LRF

So, it actually went very well.
Mount shimmed and solid.
Bore sighted had me only a few clicks off centre.
Ready to rock within a few shots and I took a fun shot at 486 yards using the ballistic program loaded from my phone missing the target by a few inches to which I was wobbling about more than!

Was that cardboard strong enough to stop the bullets damaging the vehicle?
Kb.
It's only a 222. Probably never made it all the way through the box.
