pard 008 lrf review

[@therattyfire5468]

Brilliant piece of additional info for pard owners like myself. I love the Pard008lrf that I have on my compatto and I'm seriously considering getting another one for the rimfire. And your absolutely right about Russ, he's a mine of information about these and always willing to help with any questions or troubleshooting. Many thanks for posting this and I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. ATB... Billy. 👍

[@pontypoolpestcontrol]

thank you very much BILLY for your kind words and i am glad you enjoyed the video and yes russ seems to no these scopes inside out and sent me a update to try and help me fix it its mad how it shifted zero only when mounted under neath i hit this scope shook the gun and all the other test shown in this video and it never shifted once i do love mine it just makes videoing so much easier thanks for watching all the best P.P.P.C

[@RussDouglas222]

Thanks very much both of you, always happy to help. :o) These scope aren't perfect (I'd love an external rat-tail control, external mic, option to record in 4:3 ratio and a better mount), but there is a UK made fully adjustable mount coming out before the end of the year. Keep an eye on my channel for news on that ASAP. BTW the full Pard008LRF manual is available to download here: drive.google.com/file/d/1JA7l4TSsMRzMW1aoXfYn9IiE-Jh0uIbP/view?usp=sharing ...including how to move the LRF aiming box [X] to coincide with the centre of the LRF laser 'splash' at your preferred zero range. All the best, cheers. Russ

[@pontypoolpestcontrol]

@@RussDouglas222 thank you very much Russell and yes the pard ain't perfect but for my needs it's the best that the nv scope range as to offer and it gets the job done and does it well the few things that was wrong i added to this video i don't think its a big deal i couldn't believe after freezing the gun heating it there was no zero shift when I was upset i also shook the gun hard and hit the scope still no shift i didn't want to repeat it for the video lol i done it when I thought it was f##ked 🤣 thanks again for your help all the best P.P.P.C

Fantastic review pal, it was your vids and footage what made me purchase the pard nv008 LRF plus. I'm well impressed with mine. Best review I've seen, cheers

[@davidallen7540]

Very interesting. I started shooting over 40 years ago when the very mention of night vision would of had you sectioned. PCP guns and kit have moved on so much over the years. I still have my HW35 in .25cal with red dot, old type which requires both eyes to be kept open. Which has accounted for 1000's of rats over the years. Great channel and look forward to seeing more 👍

[@mikeranson3381]

thanks, great video, keep flying the flag for wales. After owning my pard for three months, finally worked out why so many of my shots were off. There is a silver shime underneath the mount that preventing me mounting the pard centre. I had it mounted in a way that it was off-centre by 5mm. Back on the pigeons tomorrow so hopefully more kills.

[@pontypoolpestcontrol]

Thank you very much for a positive comment and thats easily done mate i am glsd you got it sorted kerp me updated on how you get on i hope to see you on the next one all the best P.P.P.C

[@garylorking4328]

I have found that if you use the PIP, keep the main screen on 6.5x the PIP will be magnified to 13x. The aim points are identical on each screen. Just a thought, hope it helps.

[@daveh2770]

Amazing that the add on IR made a zero difference (why I wonder, it's just a light....) Anyway, you've saved me from shooting myself after being frustrated being on target, off target etc. Point of aim change on x6 against x13 and I couldn't understand why I was missing - NOW I DO. Maybe I'm thick but I'm glad I've got a good teacher. Well done and thanks so much for the review. Stay safe.

[@pontypoolpestcontrol]

I am glad I could help you DAVE if I only help one person then the hours put into making and editing a video is well worth it and it was mad if the ir was under the scope it will send the pellets high and left but when mounted to the side of the scope it was perfect thank you very much for watching i hope you enjoyed it all the best P.P.P.C

A nice run down of the PARD, I myself love the ATN 4K Pro. This is just a personal preference and what I am now used to. There are a few things that make the Pards attractive but I don't think I will change over now. Once again Great video and keep them coming.

[@pontypoolpestcontrol]

yes its just preference and what we are looking for from a scope atn and pard are the best top 2 sellers on the market today i am glad you enjoyed the video and thank you very much for watching take care all the best P.P.P.C

[@northwestpestcontrol6377]

Excellent scope and review, I just cant get past the mounting position! I own a couple of ATN 4K scopes and the pard mounts like the old X sight 2 which is now 5 years old!! Modern scope manufacturers need to be looking at the mounting styles of the Digex and ATN 4k. Especially if they want to be charging big money!

[@pontypoolpestcontrol]

yes your right for me i dont have any issues because my both rifles have rails built onto them so its straight forward but if you are putting them to a flat weaver rail the pard will need a new mount or to be shimmed from the back of the mount you would think the money they charge they would of tested them fully before making sales thank you very much for watching all the best P.P.P.C

[@iankenny79]

Fantastic review mate, I've been considering getting one of these for my impact but had my doubts, but after this and I trust your opinion on things a lot so il be getting one very soon! Cheers mate 👍

[@stephengamble9388]

I got the 008, and bolted the Boblov type range finder onto the side. Saved me around £250 and it works well. Too be honest I considered buying the LRF version, but I could not justify the extra cash. On the plus side the Boblov has its own power source. In comparison to the cost of the Pard, the Boblov is almost a throw away item. With the money I saved I purchased an adjustable Eaglevision mount and strapped all this onto a HW110.

[@Blueboy9055]

Thanks for the great review. What I really love about this scope is being able to change the battery over if it goes flat when being used, which I’ve needed to do, especially at night! As always great videoing and commentary. Stay safe my friend!

Thank you. Actually shows the info wanted rather than yet another person reading off the spec sheet. Nice one!

[@NickGled]

The best scope review I've seen, thank you. I bought a Hikmicro Alpex late Feb and, although I really like the scope, I need LRF for my sub 12 rabbit hunting. So, I'm already looking to replace the Alpex, with either a Cheetah LRF or a Pard (DS35 or 008 LRF). Personally, I'm not impressed how the reticle doesn't adjust when you increase mag but, I guess if you have LRF and a ballistic calculator it doesn't matter that much. Still undecided which scope to go for but, your video has really steered me towards a Pard. Thank you! :)

You've convinced me to get one . I done a lot of research and watched many KZbin videos but I love your no bull shit approach. Many thanks 🇬🇧🇬🇧

I have pard nv008 p, for about 10 months. After about a month on using it on my CZ 455 22lr I have decided to use a different kind of ammo so I’ve needed to re-zeroed it. Thats when my problems started. After rezeroing it I’ve noticed that my Pard is changing x and y coordinates on its own, lets say my y coordinate was 68, every time I would enter the reticle adjustment in menu to check it out it would drop for 2 degrees, from 68 to 66 then to 64 etc, and it would stop on about 60. I’ve contacted salesman, and he sent Pard to England where the manufactors restarted it and updated software. After I’ve got it back, the problems just continued as before + reticle is not centered now so I should shim it which problem I didn’t have on the begining. Currently my Pard even shows different coordinates one the same profile (A) when magnification is 6x and 13x. Does anyone have similar problems??? Im planning to ask for refund or brand new Pard. Is it possible that I was doing something wrong while rezeroing it? I mean how hard it can be… P.S. I’ve never tried to download firmware on my own or do any similar action that could mess it up. Thanks to anyone who tries to help.

[@johndivit5869]

Another great video matey! I received my new 008P at the end of September - I ordered it in mid-June! Not had many opportunities to give it full test yet, but now the nights are really drawing in, I'm sure that will change . I did not buy the LRF version as I have an MTC Rapier LRF, which is a great range finder. At c.£900 for the 008 LRFP version, compared to £650 for the non-LRFP model it was not worth the extra for my purposes. PARD is clearly going head to head with ATN at the 'base' price level. To get the ballistic calculator/range finder on the ATN will cost you another c.£350. (Not an option on the PARD - - - - Yet?) However, the ATN cannot compete on optical or video quality with the PARD, especially the Plus versions which have the new OLED displays. I find it amazing that over the past 45+ years I have been shooting air rifles, we have developed from shooting basic Springers with a Webley (or similar) 4X20 scope (with the optical quality of a Smartie Tube), to phenomenal PCPs, and Springers with military grade night and day vision optics! Who would have thought!!! Perhaps we are too spoiled for choice? Keep up the great work bud. TTFN.

Only issue is the mounting bracket that comes with the pard. the 2 dovetail screws are too close together to fit either side of the ejection port. so you will need a picatinny adapter rail which raises the pard high over the bore line but still works great.

What reason would the range finder be used for, does it read off the ranger finder and compensate ? Ie, the cross hairs will be on target after you have checked the range ? Thanks

[@pontypoolpestcontrol]

as far as i no only the ATN as the ballistic calculator that moves the cross hairs the reason you need a range finder is over distance the pellet will drop so if you set up using the mildots you can work out at what range the pellet drops and where it will land if it makes sense i will add this in my next video like this or i already have one up in my scope set up video i hope this helps thanks for watching all the best P.P.P.C

[@parsasharahi4469]

Hello sir do you have an automatic ballistic for distance? For example, at a distance of 50 meters, zero at different distances (100 meters, 150 ....) automatically calculates the distance or we have to use the data

[@kenmorrison1725]

I have what may seem like a stupid question. Does the reticle remain consistent when you change the zoom back and forth? Ie if you shoot on full mag at a range then drop the mag shoot at a lower mag then go back to full mag is the hold over the same when you come back to full mag? Cracking vid as always btw

[@pontypoolpestcontrol]

no it dont sorry KEN i did show it in the accuracy test i shoot zoomed out then i zoomed in and shot and at the end i showed the measurements of how much it moved i am glad you enjoyed the video and thank you very much for watching all the best P.P.P.C

[@kenmorrison1725]

@@pontypoolpestcontrol I understand shooting at different mag will change point of aim point of impact unless using ffp scope what I mean is when you shot at high mag then low mag then back to high mag when you went back to high mag did the point of aim point of impact come back to what it was when you previously shot on high mag? I just wondered because it's a digital reticle not a physical one

[@pontypoolpestcontrol]

@@kenmorrison1725 sorry Ken I misunderstood you it's always the same say the zero is 40 yards you can zoom in and out it won't change its always spot on

I've had to shim all my Pards to centralise the reticle (non-FAC .177" and FAC .22"), Bruce improved on shimming by drilling and tapping for an M3 grub screw between the rearmost two holes = adjustable 'shimming'. There is a UK made fully adjustable mount coming out before the end of the year. Keep an eye on my channel for news on that ASAP. Cheers. Russ

[@Reaperpestcontrol]

Hi - great video. I’m on my second PARD nv008P LRF. I bought the second to go on my FAC .22 R10. My shooting buddy got another as well. I have to say I’m struggling with it as I can’t get any clarity of image beyond 30 metres. I get eye shine but can’t get a clear image of a rabbit. It doesn’t matter what setting the IR is set on but its grainy and frustrating. My mate is suffering the same issue. If we use an IR torch on the target the image is crystal clear so it’s clearly an IR issue. Has anyone else had this issue? It’s a genuine uk model from a trusted well known supplier

[@kevinrace446]

My mates jst put one on his ultra, have you had any problems with the mounting? People online are saying you have to shave bits off to get a true zero do you have any info on this please mate

[@2967575]

Does the pard lrf adjust its zero automatically when you aim for further distances or you have to adjust it by clicking on it

A lot of the Pard reviews I've seen are just to say that the ATN is better, as if the price tags don't matter. At least yours is honest. I have a Pard (no LRF), and I'm very happy with it. I also had a 007 before this one and also no complaints, except for the trouble to attach the base to the scope properly...but it's only once. About the magnification and POI: because it's digital, the 13x mag. has half of the pixels, so for example, if one holds 1 mildot at 6,5...you have to hold 2 mildots at 13x. Could it be better?...SURE...and it could also be much more expensive, so... And by the way, I have not heard anyone complain about software problems on the Pard...unlike some other very expensive NV scopes out there... The only glitch is the noise on the videos, but guess what, it only happens with the battery on the low side. Congratulations for this video. 👍

I have been contacted by a few Pard users who've had bugs, I email them the 008LRF firmware (8GB or 16GB MicroSD card required for installation) and that usually sorts the problem.

I am confused. I was in the army and qualified Expert. Was trained to put cross hair dead center of target. Why do you go to let or right of bulls eye. It makes no sense to to.

[@pontypoolpestcontrol]

The bull is huge there are small numbers i used for point of aim to keep a better group example if you was aiming at a 50p coin your cross could be anywhere on the coin as you pull the trigger giving you a bigger group but if you aimed at a match stick head it would keep it alot smaller if it makes sence and in your training you also use bullet guns wind will not effect them until a few 100 yards and the also fly alot flatter so like you said just aim on the cross thanks for watching keep safe all the best P.P.P.C

[@RetirementVille]

Superb and honest review. The POI shift when using your IR is very odd, neither of my NV008s suffer from that although one does have the IR laser focussed a fraction off centre; maybe I knocked the lens, which results in a dark patch on the left hand side of my image - easily remedied by adjusting the IRs field of view a little bit.

[@pontypoolpestcontrol]

it only ever happens if i use the solaris as its a lazer ir and if its under the gun if i mount it onto the scope its fine thanks for watching i hope you enjoyed all the best P.P.P.C

Great review...I own an ATN X-Sight and thought of the PARD before my purchase. We each have different needs and many people will say one is better than the other when it’s really just preference. I love the clarity of the PARD and it’s size. The one difference for me was the ballistic calculator which eliminates holdover/under; wish the PARD had it. Appreciate your honest review on the PARD and the obstacles you found and overcame.

Greetings from Texas. Awesome video, the content was exactly what I’ve been looking for, well made, too. I’m trying to decide between the ATN and the Pard, ATN does have some nice features, but, size and reliability are a concern. Two questions, if I may; is it possible that the Pard could add a ballistics calculator and make it a FFP with a software upgrade? Also, I’ll be using it on center fire rifles with 150 grain bullets, do you think the recoil will be detrimental to holding zero/life of the scope?

[@pontypoolpestcontrol]

Hell WELSHTEXAS thank you very much for your kind words i really do appreciate it 😊 as for putting it onto a bullet gun yes there will be no problem as it doesn't lose zero no matter what you do to it so recoil will be fine as for the balistic calculator im not to sure thanks for watching all the best P.P.P.C

[@johnatkinson3218]

I like the look of the scope. Currently I only have a nitro piston 22 air rifle, but would like to buy a 22 rimfire. Would the vibration of the air rifle be too excessive for the scope? I see its not tested with spring/piston air rifles.. (but works OK with a 308!)

[@doomfathertm8771]

Point of impact change on different zoom settings is because it is a 2nd focal plane reticle, that is to say when you zoom in the reticle stays the same as apposed to first focal plane where the reticle also gets bigger when you zoom in.
