XR500 When shooting possums out of trees, I use the laser illuminator on the Pard, and turn on my headlamp. Much quicker than firing up the scope and finding the possum.

Up close the 008 is infuriating to use / attempt to use. Try looking at a bunny 30m away through your centrefire scope cranked up to 6.5 power:omg: Also up close(under 20m) the backscatter off pine...

I used the 115gr NBT for a few years, but for the past eight have used the 115 Berger VLD in my .257. Both have shot very well in a couple of barrels now and have worked out well for me on small to...

Have one of the original Pard NV008's, and find it just works well. For scanning an area it's horrible, especially on a heavy rifle. The minimum magnification is too high to make an effective...

I've got a 008V range finder model on a .22 for rabbits. Does the job bloody well. Good vision out to about 400ish. Eyes stick out like dogs balls in the uv light making it quick to scan a larger...
