Cheers Bruce, having enough trouble trying to get the screen To come up to align the cross for the lrfThe mount that comes with the PARD is designed to fit a weaver/picatinny rail.
As you have found out, it can also be clamped onto a dovetail rail, but the scope not centred above the action.
The adaptors I linked to are what many, many people use to mount a PARD 008 to a rifle with a dovetail rail
THEY WILL WORK!!!!

But then you also need a scope that works well with the PARD.Or as an alternative, take it back and change it for an 007.
Correct, I changed my Zeiss for a Minox ZX5i 3-15x56 with #4 red dot reticule which the 007 works well with.But then you also need a scope that works well with the PARD.

So, was the cost of an 007 plus what it cost to change scope more or less than the cost of an 008?Correct, I changed my Zeiss for a Minox ZX5i 3-15x56 with #4 red dot reticule which the 007 works well with.
I went through the same debate 007 or 008, thankfully I put a 008 on my 17HMR after that it was an easy decision to then get another 008 but this time the RF version on my 223 for foxing and Muntys issue with the 007 is the whole set up is a compromise and if you have a high end scope it doesn’t really work. I am happy with the choice I madeI actually got quite a bit of money back.
The 008 is about double the price of the 007, £650 as opposed to £325.
I sold the Zeiss on here for about £500 and bought the Minox off here for about £400 and it was like new.
