Thread: any feedback on Pard 007 clip on

Hi

just wondering if anyone has had hands on experience with the Pard 007 - thinking about using on a Tikka Creedmoor with Swarovski scope

Thanks in advance

I know a few on here use them. They are good, but may not work well with your Swaro, the clip ons tend to work better with lower quality scope. Its to do with coatings on lenses i believe.

For less dollars you will be able to get the Sytong version with built in range finder next week.

Who's going to say to the Nightforce guy that's 'cos they work best through cheap glass?

Because they are smart!
To be fair I don't really have any cheap scopes on rifles.
Life's to short for cheap scopes!

Cheap glass isn't always bad, the main issue as I understand it is some of the fluoride coatings that improve light transmission, reduce chromatic aberration and give these scopes their edge in the last few minutes of light also diffuse or partly absorb infra red which is what these units rely on.

I have a Pard007 which I use on a Swarovski Z5 3.5/18. I did have some initial issues getting a decent image, I seem to have solved that now by mounting a Laser IR torch forward under the forearm of the rifle. Not sure why the internal IR on the Pard did not perform adequately. It could be because of the lens coatings on the Swaro but I don't think so. I also tried it on a Vortex scope mounted on the same rifle with the same marginal results. This issue could also have been because of glare from the barrel/suppressor. Bottom line is that it seems to be working well now, the takeaway from this I think is that Pard or Sytong you need to be prepared to have a bit of a play around until you get the desired result, they don't always seem to be plug and play.
