Best scope for PARD use???

[palmer_mike]

I have heard that some scopes are better for using with a pard add on than others due to lens coatings and the need for partial adjustment etc

In an ideal world what scope would be best for se with a Pard?

I've used few different ones & never had issues - hawkes, Bushnell elite. My mate uses sightron & it looks amazing through that too.

Just avoiding really top end apparently (not an issue for me! )

Side px ideally as can be bit of a reach. I'd imagine you'd want as much light gathering as possible, 44mm objective minimum?

@mealiejimmy the man to ask

Yes unlikely to be top end for me either

You should be alright with most then mate. 007 is cracking bit of versatile kit & optical zoom keeps picture decent at distance. Definitely recommend 3rd party IR to really get most from it and boost battery life.

Lots on here on this subject - use the search function. Basically any of the parallax adjustable lower-priced Hawkes etc. work very well - avoid the expensive multi-coated lenses types, the Pard doesn’t like them.

Have a search for the Sightron S tac 4-20x50. Probably one of the best scopes available for use with a Pard add on. Just so happens I have one I would part with for a very reasonable price.

Delta titanium HD 2.5-15×56 is a very good scope for a pard 007

How much would you want for it?

arken ep5 and sh4j work well , a Vaillant 4-16 was the best I've used

S&B PM2, Arken Optics used here with excellent results both out to 300m+ with IR laser.

Bushnell Elite DMR scope had issues as wouldn't focus on reticle, that could be the parallax minimum of 75m though

Hawke sidewinder . Element Helix, Delta scopes,
MTC scopes, I would not go for a Sightron STac, Don’t get me wrong they will work but you will need a powerful IR as I found out when I changed from a Hawke sidewinder to a 2.5 x17 Sightron STac.

Sightron s tac always worked well for me 4-20x50 and the 2.5-17.5x56 and are still a great choice for daytime shooting

Sightron (which I have) or Delta, Hawke are crap, I went down that road, sent both back as developed faults quickly.

these are good, seem to be out of stock in the UK though now
