The time had finally come for a new scope on the .308 estate rifle.
The old Zeiss had served us well, but with modern digital night vision moving on so quickly, we wanted to see what was now available that could offer both a strong daytime image and the added benefit of night-time performance.
Thanks to a few local dealers kindly lending us different scopes to test, we were able to compare a handful of models properly and get a real feel for what suited the rifle best.
After spending time behind them, the Pard Night Stalker 4K EX stood out as the clear choice. Out of the scopes we tried, it gave the closest feel to a true glass image, which made it much easier to get on with straight away.
For an estate rifle, the scope needs to be practical, clear and dependable. First impressions of the Night Stalker 4K EX are very promising, and now it is time to get it set up properly and see how it performs where it matters most — out in the field.
