Stavross 13,720 Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 As I’ve mentioned before I’ve been thinking about another rifle as a dedicated fox rifle, I’ve been in the shop today and on the rifle side it’s looking like another tikka in .22-250 as for the scope I’m definitely going digital, I’ve had a look at the new ATN and the new pulsar but to be honest they were a bit to complicated for me, the lad then showed me the pard 008 lrf and although a weird looking thing it was easy to use and the image quality was superb, the only thing that bothered me was has it got enough magnification for night time fox work, I’d be interested to know what others are using and to what effect, I’m new to all this technology and it’s baffling me, I’ve been invited to a night vision evening next week to have a play so I think I’ll be popping along to that 1 Quote Link to post

Stavross 13,720 Posted December 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Arrr, I didn’t know that, I’m new to all this technology, I shoot a fair few over 200 yards so don’t want to be short on mag, I already have a PBIRL, I did like the 008 but will be going to the NV evening next week to see what others have to offer Quote Link to post

Stavross 13,720 Posted December 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Is there anything in that or is it sour grapes because they are not a distributor and no one else makes a product of that quality for that price? Quote Link to post
pav 481 Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 They just upset because pards are selling so well Ian blackwood only lives in hartlepool and he sells pard and pulsar you will be able to go look at stuff and choose for yourself Ian won't hard sell anything he will give you honest opinion on all stuff he sells 2 Quote Link to post
