You have three problems here..

1. The Nite Site Dark Ops version is 940NM in the IR spectrum which means its not visible to the eye at all human/animal , the problem being the beam doesn't throw anywhere near as far because of it being 940NM, the standard version is better and cheaper.

2. Nightforce scopes are not good for add on night vision, you would be much better off with the likes of a Hawke Sidewinder or MTC range, the difference in the amount of IR light passed through the glass due to less coatings is VERY noticeable .

3. You bought a Nitesite

Did you buy it from Scottcountry?   Sounds like the vendor could have been more helpful.

My experience with them is that they are good at selling,  but not so hot on the customer support, so box clever.

Hello Main Man,ref one of my posts,more expensive lenses have coating on them that can reduce IR wave lengths getting through that is true in IMO I had a variety of scopes and the one that worked best was a £40 Richer Scope  the lenses were virtually wiped clean of original coatings ,also the more visible to the human IR you filter out the less distance you get,at 950nm you can still see but at a reduced level the dull red glow 840nm gives you the better distance but also a bigger dull red glow.P/S I got on very well with the Night-site Wolf but decided to to thermal because of the dull red glow from the IR IMO its always there.

Hi and thankyou all! im going to get a cheaper scope i think and stay with the eagle, reason is my pal has a wolf and its really good so im hoping with a lesser grade scope i might see a big differnce, just wish i could of done some homework first but thats my fault. shame really because the niteforce i use is well suited for me being a bit ruff and ready. thanks again chris

I did the same bought an expensive scope to go with the Wolf I had found cheaper better, another mistake I made was I need to use glasses for reading and found to see the screen clearly I needed to were my glasses,some people find the Nitesight World Eagle light Mamite you either love them or hate then I liked  them but because of the ir issue move to thermal,you got a good bit of kit get the set up right and you will have loads of fun using it there good on to rimy  and perfect for ratting with air rifle.P/s a must have get a scope with parrelax a just on it.
