Liked this and your right not everyone is able to afford top rank kit and what you have shown is cheaper kit does the job great video and well presented nice shooting too thanks for putting video on....
Really nice video! Really like the explanation and the demonstration of what it looks like through it, rather than just talking about it. Excellent job! Just starting to look at some entry level night optics and really enjoying this level of detail and demonstration. We don't have a vast rage of suppliers that I have seen in New Zealand, so starting to having to look overseas and buying without the ability to test. Your video is very helpful!
I've been using a Pard 007 for almost 2 years on Air Rifles, FAC & sub 12 as well as 17HMR and .223. Not had any problems. Just love the ability to swap between rifles quickly. I also use it as a stand alone NV spotter.
Thanks for the video. It would be useful for me if you listed below the kit that you are using. I know you told us in the video but it’s hard to recall each item. 👍
I’ve the Yukon sight line N455S on my .222 and use the Hik Linx as my thermal spotter….. I fully agree; £500 for the scope £1300 for the spotter is more than enough… I have the same Pard on my rimfire….. the hik allows quick identification, but the IR scope has better target identification and clarity…. I stalk foxes on foot ( very hilly ground around here in Wales) the hik has transformed my foxing
Top action. Got a old 007 and a 008 pard, both took the ir filters out, Both scan good by 400yds, Fit trick is to fit a stock sleave on the end, so your near back to the norm on shooting position, ;) al
It's not very often my research pays off... but that's the same set up I've had for about a year now. I use a vortex scope though. Its probably not quite as clear as your footage, but I've still shot plenty of foxes. The Hik micro is great once you get 7sed to different species at various distances and zooms.
The LH19 has been a game changer for me - spotting quarry I didn't know was there. and NV (Sytong HT-60) adds an additional layer of identification. Not sure if I missed it, but what is the zoom on your SHV? I'm wanting to know if FFP reticles are ok with the PARD and if there is additional value with the IR (illuminated reticle) which it seems there is in low light. Your reticle looked great in the PARD though.
Using the Pard. is it helfull to use a IR flashlight? is it necessary or helpfull or is it the same with an external flashlight. I have a couple of Pards but have not tried the flashlight combo. Thanks!
Hi, is it the 16mm pard, ?? I'm looking into getting one but I've heard it's a base setting of 4 X magnification so I guess this means my 8x56 fixed scope will have a base setting of X 48 ???
Do you think it was the same lame/limping fox you recorded in an earlier video in thermal about a month or so ago at the same location? If I remember correctly you were rat shooting at that time.
Exactly Chris not everyone can afford a 3 4 thousand pound thermal scope well done.
I’ve used several different nv scopes and I keep going back to the pard I just think there’s nothing better 👍👍👍 keep the videos coming

Great video and great explanation of the equipment used . 👏

good show, and nice equipment. Have a problem with coyotes and other predators at our location, thanks for the demo

Enjoyable video again, Chris, nice shooting!
Spot on mate
Like you said it does wat it says on the tin
Brilliant show

The other advantage of the 007 is that it can also be used as a handheld spotter. Which is helpful if you don’t have a thermal.
Good set up and done at a decent price.
Excellent real-world review.

Those steyr stage triggers are scary light.

Get the 12mm, it has the lower of the two base mags 👍
Nice, as always. What experience do you have with 850 nm vs 940 nm? In my experience the 850 nm scares some foxes. Thanks
Great video, thank's. Where is this unit made?
regards from Swtzerland
I’m trying to get into shooting of any type. Anyone got any tips for equipment and skills?
Good deal. Much more affordable gear.
pvs 14 for me gen 3 the best
