Except that they're maybe a bit high. Other than that, they seem OK
That doesn't determine wrong or junk.
I think you can.
but digital scopes don't need any sort of parallax control because the reticle is electronically overlaid on the display.
Yes, you are correct.
Agreed. I should have also installed them. Then I could have at least blamed them for my bad groups
Now I'm going to have to think of something else to blame.
They are fine for the puny 22. Because they also work on center fires.Because I had trouble getting a hex wrench into one of the hex bolts where it wasn't formed correctly. That screams 'junk'. Just look at the hex bolts. It's looks like they're made of a cake! Just look how inconsistent the texturing is inside the actual rings too. Those are signs of cheap Chinese mass production. It makes me laugh, because 'Cumbria County Sports' who promote Pard, installed the rings and scope on his rifle, then when he was testing the scope out in the field you could clearly see he'd later swapped out the stock rings for Tier One's
I prefer low mounts to minimise the parallexing. But even with 25mm low mounts, on the CZ 457 the height seems to look and feel about right. Chris Parkin eventually chose the low mounts over the high with the CZ 457. But I guess it's whatever you're comfortable with, unless you're shooting PRS of course, then it's whatever is the most accurate and consistent.

I sent it back yesterday because the display had died literally 10 minutes after getting the scope out of the box. The scope partly still functioned, as the power light would come on and you could hear it click into NV mode, but the display just wouldn't light up back up. I've since ordered another Pard Night Stalker 4k, but in the EX model. I ordered some Tier One Tac QDs rings before the scope died, so I'll installed them when the EX scope arrives. My finger accidentally slipped in buy button whilst I was checking out the Athlon Rangecraft. At least that's what I'll tell the wife
I'm hoping the EX's OLED display proves to be more reliable. Looking at the reviews, the latest iteration seems to be a worthy upgrade. But of course, the price difference between the two models reflects the higher spec & the improvements made with the optic. I think aesthetically it looks a lot better too - looking more and more like a conventional scope. Although I think a lot of people were more concerned about knocking the Star Ship Enterprise than how it actually looks.
The EX model is exceptionally good even Hik were impressed when they looked through ours at the show
