Is there a decent illuminator or night vision device to add to a scope ?

Close to 15 years ago, I was offered the opportunity to buy 5 scopes as milsurp from Albany GA at the logistics center. They were part of a scope bid test, and they'd done well, but the rumor I heard was that the Navy and Corps heard was that the manufacturers were using the equipment and lens designs that had last been Bausch and Lomb, and Bushnell and Leupold encouraged the rumor and the no-name was failed at the end when it came down to two.

They're sold similar to mine as Super Sniper scopes.

I love them better than any scope I've ever tried.

I never had extreme cold problems, but I had someone on Benning who'd fill the Nitrogen port and check things.

I had 2 B&L Elite 4000 and it is 6-24x40 and in a 3* hunt this year the objective lens cracked and shattered. Bushnell wouldn't sell me a lens or repair it, just offered 30%-50% off depending on what model I wanted(hint:Banner series only).

Is there a good illuminator that you can add to something like an SWFA ?

I DO NOT NEED OR WANT thermal, just night vision and I can add a separate laser.

I also don't want a garmin sized camera on my rifle. I have a feeling 22mag would break that "cheap night vision" on youtube.

I want simplicity and hopefully stealth.

Thanks for all your advice
