I've had a pard 007 for several years and apart from the need for a slip on recoil pad to regain eye relief, can't fault it. It goes between a 22, and 223 a ranging function might be useful on the 22 but the illuminator runs out of grunt around 200m. By that I mean you can still see past that but image quality and hence ID becomes too vague for my liking. I added a sytong axillary illuminator which adds about 50 m to the good vision range but that's not why I got it, it was to conserve the units battery. 850 is the best wavelength. If I didn't have the pard, I'd take that sytong, don't sweat the recoil pad thing worry more about if your scopes don't have parallax you'll have either fuzzy cross hairs or target images
