Note on the Pard manual it says suitable for calibres up to 308.

The Vortex is good value for money and will work well within the range limitations of the Pard whilst allowing you to reach out longer in the daylight. Your other 2 choices are also suitable but at higher cost for only marginally better performance. Cheers.

Tubs have you bought the Pard 007 already? There are two models a 12mm and 16mm lense one. They both work the same but the 12mm will give you better field of view.
I prefer the Pard 008. As I reckon it performs a bit better. Not looking through extra lenses. But it is handy that with the Pard 007 that you can just twist it off and go back to the normal scope.
I bought the non range finding Pard 008 and it was a good $300-400 cheaper than the range finder model. I kind of know the ranges I shoot on my place and use it my 204 Ruger which is pretty flat shooting. Anything inside 200 metres is in trouble.
