Steve - thanks for the review - I was about to buy the ATN4K, but after watching your video, bought the Pard. It's a tight fit on my old CZ .22, but mounted it, figured out the 2 shot zeroing, and put two shots through same hole at 100 yards in the middle of the bull - first time using it. I can confirm that there are shims in the kit - didnt need them with mine. Absolutely superb piece of kit - I've had an old Pulsar digisight 550 for years, and this walks all over it. Thanks for a really clear and informative review - you put a lot of work into that video!

[@newheat64]

had mine 2 weeks now, bloody awesome knocks spots off the ATN and the weight and sizes is a huge plus, also battery life is good and easy to carry a spare, agree with the shim thing, I've had to shim mine also. good review as always regards paul

[@airgunology]

Yup love mine, new king on the block for night sights.

[@TheMajortom1966]

@@airgunology I'd love mine too if it were a freebie (just in case the sponsors are watching), as for knocking spots off the ATN for weight and size without a doubt but everything else not so!

[@keithsmith9244]

Hi Steve, great video and description of the unit... One top tip is to switch off the red dot targeting in preference for the PIP Quick Button feature... one press of the button and you can instantly check/confirm your point of aim... Shimming is an issue, but as seen on a Russ Doulas video, a few layers of a drinks can works a treat.. Look forward to the ATN - PARD comparison, as I own and use both...

[@airgunology]

Thanks buddy, good tip. The Pard vs ATN video will come soon.

[@glynnhough3443]

This is my first NV device, it froze twice in the first couple of days, the second time permanently and was replaced. I do rate it and it is a game changer. Improvements - I reckon an angled eye cup would be better, more reticle choices, and improve the focus collar. It needs to be a lot stiffer and less critical. Small movements make a big difference. It is also difficult to adjust the focus without obscuring the built in ir, and so you can't see the picture your trying to focus. I have fitted a collar from customriflescopes on mine, and then fitted a fishing coaster around the collar, which shorts the problem. If it ends up being reliable (I've not had the replacement long) then I'll be happy with it.

[@airgunology]

never had a pard crash on my, hopefully you got it sorted once replaced, sounds like a dud. Nice updates to the focus, I agree it is a pain at times.

[@suecross3493]

Your vids are excellent and well structured. An area which would be interesting to see covered would be to set the zeros on different guns and see how well it hold them when re mounted to each weapon.

[@airgunology]

Will see what I can do

Hi Steve. Thanks for the review. Just purchased a pard and every thing u said was spot on. As it’s my first nv kit and it’s great. I received shims with mine which I needed on my ruger. Cheers Hayden

Great review , just purchased one and using it on my ruger 10/22 Have set two zeros one at 20 meters and one at 50, amazing piece of kit. Thanks Steve for your honest review, this leaves the atn's in the dust in my opinion, Looks like this is the future of scopes. The Chanel is fantastic thank you again,

You have any pictures of the whole set up? Looking to see how the setup looks on a 1022

[@TargetBreaker1234]

I'm defo getting one, but one thing I think would be really useful is to have an image of your chairgun or strlok in the pip screen. Therefore ypu don't have to pull away from the scope to check your app or cards once you have ranged!

[@airgunology]

Nice idea

[@lawrencecaile]

As usual Steve I have enjoyed your talk about an item you are covering, there is something I would suggest you cover it's heated clothing, I have found out that the rats I was going to target, go on holiday during the summer and don't come back to the farm until the dark and cold nights, The cold goes through me like a knife, ( getting on a bit) I've looked at heated clothing and thought of you and wondered if you had ever covered the subject, if not, how about it, at least then we will all get a true report.

[@airgunology]

Nice topic to discuss, thanks and will have a think about it.

Much appreciated

[@wiltonlewis5369]

The ATN 4k, when matched with the ATN rangefinder automatically shifts the reticle to the point of impact required for any given range. Hardman has done several review videos of this, and it looks very impressive, but very bulky and expensive. I really wonder whether the Pard 008 actually has the memory and processing power on board to allow any future software updates to introduce this function. One would need to input pellet weight, bc, velocity etc and I wonder whether the present Pard 008 is up to calculating all that and correcting the reticle. Perhaps a future Pard 009 or 010 would be able to?

[@airgunology]

Pretty sure it could do it with some clever software then it would have all the functionality of the ATN X-Sight. TBH, I hardly use this on the ATN

[@johnehogan]

The ATN says it is whether resistant while the Pard is IP 7 rated (water tight).

[@davidlimb7581]

Steve, brilliant review I’m now looking for one. Excellent

[@airgunology]

Thanks for watching

[@colliedogjoy]

Let's hope someone updates the software to allow a one touch ballistic calculation like the ATN one... That would be handy. I can't understand why it's not implemented already - but I'm not a code writer. Looks like all the hardware is there though.

[@airgunology]

Yeah it just needs new menus and the ability to move the crosshairs in the screen. A little more complicated, but I am sure Pard are working on this.

[@dingfeldersmurfalot4560]

I think the reason some may be saying not to charge with the cable directly in the unit might be something like what has notoriously happened with Amazon's Kindle tablets. If the charging port isn't absolutely rock solid, then regular use -- and hey, some people are clumsy and rough, face it -- can loosen it up over time to the extent that when you plug the cable in, it no longer charges the unit. In the case of the Amazon tablets, that can mean either junking the unit or sending it in for repairs. That can be pricey, time-consuming and leaving you without your unit, and expose all your personal information to strangers. And ... sometimes it can't be fixed or the price doesn't make sense. So you lose a perfectly good unit just because the charging port was cheaply built/attached. So it's safer to charge the battery outside a unit if you are given the chance.

[@lesjohnson7612]

A nice review Steve, I just wish I could afford one. Regards. Les.

[@endofdayz783]

yes this video is a year old but a good video👍 which made my mind up so I brought one...I must have an updated one as the range finder is in the center of the crosshairs on mine and it has the red dot function aswell, The buttons are a bit of a nightmare to be fair but as ive only just got it will take some time to get the hang of it ....awesome bit of kit payed £850 don't think its worth that much tbf ..

Hi Steve, great review, this might be a stupid question but would it hold up on a springer or do you think it would get damaged from the recoil? ATB Wayne.

Hi Steve, another great review. It was after watching reviews from yourself and Russ Douglas that I decided to purchase the Pard008lrf, and I couldn't agree more that it is definitely worth the money, it's the muts nuts as far as I'm concerned. There is a lot of videos of the unit in use by Wolverine vermin shooting, Norfolk sqirreller and Jon Phillips to mention a few. There is no doubt that some people will want to stick with their preferred choice of nv units and fair play to them, but I certainly have no regrets after getting mine, it's a joy to play with 😁 I also have the nitesite viper unit that I like but the wee pard is a completely different experience. Thanks mate for all you do, its hard to please everyone but if we didn't have our different opinions and preferences it would be a boring world 👍. ATB... BILLY.

[@airgunology]

Hi, I try to be different to all the other KZbinrs out there and say what I see. This one is a little different as I was given it by Pard, but in my defence, the non LRF version I did a month before was a subscriber one and I pretty much said the same thing. Pard took it upon themselves to offer me it and I gratefully accepted.

[@clivecro4971]

Hi Steve Please can you help!

Hello, that is a very good review. I was literally getting ready to buy the 4k on Amazon, that was until I came across your vid. Now it is hard to make a choice, as there are so many good, and bad reviews of the 4k(which I can get in a week or so), or pay more for the Pard, and possibly have to wait until July for it to be delivered. Is the 4k that bad that it will be worth the extra money, and very long wait? Thank you

[@airgunology]

The 4K is just the same as the HD, over wieght, over priced and crashes a lot. The Pard is beats it hands down apart from the ballistic calculations that the ATN has to tell you where to aim.

[@MrRockstar1968]

Is it possible to align the LFR with the centre of the crosshair?

[@MrDirectNL]

So, with the ATN ABL it was a problem that you had to move the crosshairs to range find , and now here it is exactly the same and you are fine with it?

[@airgunology]

Yes for 3 main reasons. 1 the size of the Pard LRF compared to the ATN 4k + ABL. 2. The construction as the LRF is solid to the unit and therefore always in the same parallel place to the scope centre. The ABL was an after thought by ATN and the bracket is prone to breaking and point massively all over the place. Hence the reason I designed the cradle for the hand held range finder. But must importantly no 3 is no marketing BS like ATN about zeroing leading people into false pretences, dodgy software, designing yet another £300 range finder when people already had one. Many reasons and why I will be putting a ATN vs Pard video together soon.

[@brucemcpherson8832]

On the PARD, the rangefinding target box (the yellow box with the cross) can be moved to coincide with the laser splash. The laser splash can also be moved to wherever you want it to appear on the screen

[@MrDirectNL]

@@brucemcpherson8832 the laser splash cannot be moved. I think you mean the red dot?

[@brucemcpherson8832]

@@MrDirectNL No, the laser splash can be moved, although it is not a simple process. Remove the plastic cover at the front of the rangefinder unit. That reveals 6 small screws which hold the laser module in place. There is a thick elastomer gasket between the laser module and the inside of the case which acts as a kind of spring. By adjusting the tightness of these screws, the laser beam can be moved horizontally and vertically so that it can be positioned anywhere on the display. Once you have the laser splash where you want it, and with the rangefinder switched on, open the main menu, then a long push on the menu button will bring up the X and Y coordinates of the yellow box. Use the + and - buttons to move the yellow box to wherever you wish on the screen

[@MrDirectNL]

@@brucemcpherson8832 that is a bit much and the way you are describing it, seems it is not something we are supposed to do. I love my pard008lrf, it just struck me strange that the ATN gets smashed because the way it works, and the pard gets no critique about it.

Not tested, unsure why you would want to with a simple 18650 that last for 6 - 8 hours bepending on IR usage

So they aren’t as power hungry as their competitors? You didn’t mention battery life in your video. ( or if you did I missed that bit) Which by the way is very good!

[@airgunology]

@@thaireesj41 6 - 8 hours depending on IR usage, think it might have been in specs image.

[@brucemcpherson8832]

2 hours battery life with everything on and the IR at full power. In reality, the IR does not need to be on all the time, so using the sleep function (brief press of the power button) which switches off the screen and the IR will greatly increase battery life

[@davidgreenbank4628]

Do you really rate this as good as the ATN 4k. I know you mention the video recording isn't 4k on the ATN but is the view you look at when using 4k so therefore a clearer image to what you see on the pard008 which is only hd? Also is the field of view bigger on the ATN with is have a bigger objective? Great reviews by the way!!

Steve Allan that’s true, I have a few of those. Was just wondering if you were to take out the 18650 battery, would you be able to run it from an external source 🤔. Would you be willing to find out?

[@brucemcpherson8832]

It will run from a powerbank , but it's not recommended, since the USB connector can overheat. Far better just to carry one or more spare batteries around with you. Also, battery life can be greatly extended using "sleep" mode, where a short press of the power button will switch off the display and IR when not being used. Another brief press of the power button immediately powers up the screen and the IR

Hi Steve, I have recently purchased the NV008LRF and love it. Quick question though, when I zoom into 13x my LRF is slightly off of the screen. For example if something is 100yards away I would only see the '1'. Is there any way to adjust this?

[@airgunology]

not that I know off.

[@ptescreen18]

Use the zb lite pro adjustable rail mount then u can put reticle dead center and only use the zb rail to adjust to zero in

Should Pard update to a POI change feature a'la ATN, then yes, otherwise I will keep saving for the ATN. Neat Item though, and a VERY good Review. Thank you.

[@airgunology]

I have had both, ATN for over 2 years and the size and weight of the ATN is off putting, plus the ATN crashes all the time. The POI or ballistic calcs are are nice feature on the ATN, but you will hardly end up using them.

[@henrymoreland8719]

@@airgunology I remain Unconvinced Steve, " size and weight" true, and an honest issue, but not a deal breaker, "crashes all the time" indeed should I get one and it does this, then major issue, however others seem happy with the ATN, and some others have issues with Pards, so there may be a little , LUCK of the draw involved. I will await your future comparison with interest. and thank you for your response Thanks again.

Hi Steve, are you 3D printing the sunshade for the pard?

[@airgunology]

Not yet mate.

[@phillevbarg7562]

When I mentioned the PARD to them, they had never heard of it! I really find that hard to believe and they have an agenda of what they want to sell to me. They even told me that the FX line of rifles have issues and your comments on this would also be appreciated. I think that they have an agenda.

[@airgunology]

Who never heard and who has an agenda ?

[@phillevbarg7562]

A retailer out west in Arizona.

[@dustyboyer5623]

@@phillevbarg7562 i experienced that same feeling of an agenda trying to buy a pcp air compressor. Possibly the same retailer in arizona so i called a retailer in utah and sold me a fx wild cat mk3 and other accessories.

i have a atn already,, how do you adjust for different yardage once you use the range finder to adjust for that yardage then,, i have a crossbow and would like to know if i bought one how i could range from say 30 yards and shoot center then range to 70 yards and then hit center on that spot then??

Great review s as always.. just got a 57 acres permission to shoot rabbit s as a vermin control job Have just got the basic screen setup for now 👍 but definitely wot a "008" in the future wots not to like about it Cheers for the review

Hi Steve. What app do you use to connect to an iphone? I've tried PPShow and Roadcam but they just bomb out. Can you do an idiots guide to WiFi camera connecting connecting please.

[@graemewestwater8356]

Hi Steve, love my pard but would like to know which app you use as I have downloaded a few and they where not good. Cheers in advance love your channel keep up the great work. Graeme

When you went to do your two shots zero, what button did you push to freeze the screen so you could move your recitals? do you just click it once or do you have to double click it or hold it? I have the latest version and my laser rangefinder shows up on the left-hand side of my screen and I’m wondering if there is a way to switch it over to the right side like you have on yours

[@darrannewman7113]

great review Steve , just to thow a spanner in the works whats your thought on the wraith, and how does it compair to the pard.

[@seemoore]

Hi Steve, what button do you press to get it to freeze frame please? I cant get mine to freeze or take pic

Battery type please are they flat based battery

[@rickydowning2194]

Can you fit the mount the other way round? (I have a converted bullpup and I’m thinking I won’t need another scope rail

[@airgunology]

Never tried, not designed for it and also it would be too far forward to get your eye against it as it is a zero eye relief scope.
