Pard 008

[savaloy 1]

Hi guys, trying to get hold of a new pard 008, but the stockists all seem to be out due to virus etc, does anybody know of any dealers with some for sale? Apart from amazon, they are well over priced.

I'm guessing the chap has set a much higher reserve. I've already got the lrf version

Took me a bit of getting used to at first & initially in daylight mode wasn't blown away. But when the lights go out it really comes into its own. The night time picture is spot on, so clear. Its on my HMR and easily lights up & clear visual plenty far enough. Some cool features like PIP & so easy to zero. 

I hadn't intended on getting the lrf version. Had paid online at local shop. Went to collect & despite the site letting me buy standard version, they only had lrf in stock, so he let me have lrf version for an extra £50! And I've loved it, really glad of it now & thoroughly recommend the extra feature.

Still think they look butt ugly compared to traditional optics though!

Would the onboard ir be good enough to 300 yards for a .223 .No scope as such to fit a better one to 

[BenBhoy 4,706]

Imo 300 would be pushing its onboard. I've been able to ID at 300. I'll take photo at that range at weekend.

Add a laser ir and will get you out a lot further than that. As close to a drone as I have seen and quarter of the price

Yes mate but where on the rifle do you mount it .

On side as Ben says mate. Personally I never use the on board ir. If ever you travel to Somerset in the dark you can have a look
