I'm new to forum and have read some good posts on here .
Just to let you know I have a pard 007 and love it .
I have a armasight vampire as well and it's not a patch on the pard .
$ 1300 compared to $ 700.
They talk about not putting the pard on a expensive scope but I have one on a nightforce shv ffp 4-14 x 50 and it works great .
Can see foxes out at 300 + meters but wouldn't be confident to take the shot .
I have a armasight ir light which I got with the vampire and put a doubler on it to get more distance .
Have a 22 lr with a nikon 2-9 x 40 and it works ok but it doesn't have side focus which is essential or ao.
Have fun with the pard
Cheers
Tilbs

l have used mine and shot a few rabbits with one of my 17's but it was way to hard to adjust the parallax at the objective with the leupold scope l was using
IMO it is very important to have the side focus parallel adjustment like everyone has said
you will be very happy with it Bruiser
marksman wrote:where the problem with an adjustable AO is that you cover the IR light while adjusting so you lose sight picture, you could get used to it
l have seen the prices of the scope l bought for $600 go up by $100 at one shop probably because of the dollar but the scope was in stock so it looks like it was just because, l went to another shop and paid $100 less at $600
l'm saving now for a bigger IR torch and another smaller scope for 22 rimfire only, shouldn't take to long not buying petrol ect...
the hawkes are apparently very good with the nv007

Mount them on the side.
Ir light is more easily seen by animals in the lower frequency.
850 is a happy medium but if the animals look straight at the torch they can see a faint red glow.
940 is more stealthy but as a rule you will lose 1/3 to 1/2 of your range.
I use 850nm and have very good results.
At spectra tactical we sell both pills for the t67mk2 torch and find most people just use the 850nm.
Will have pards back in stock hopefully soon...
Damm this corona virus!
Just started to get thermal gear in too!
